- Description
Shows waterfront (now Wakefield St and Victoria, formerly Lombard St) with Ridgway and Guytons Wharf and store (centre) with a large set of scales alongside. The Exchange Building (with a Grecian frontage) is on the right and Bethune & Hunters stockyard premises behind. The long low building on the left is possibly Holmes' boat-building shed and Seagers Phoenix Foundry. The building with tall gables in the right rear is thought to be Hickson's Warehouse. Also shows boats, oxen, slaughtered animals, barrels, sailors, Maori and Pakeha in the street, and houses in the background, with bush-clad hills beyond.
Note on back has some inaccuarate details, locating the view at Customhouse Quay. An attached correcting letter assumes the painting is the work of W. S. Hatton, but corrects the location
Formerly attributed to W. S. Hatton. However the style is unlike Hatton's, Hatton never visited New Zealand and all of his known work is copied from the Illustrated London News. This view was not reproduced in the I. L. N. Hatton consistently signed his work W. S. H. and this work is not signed. The style is more like that of surveyor Robert Park, who was in Wellington from 1842.
Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).
