Shows a view across a river, to the settlement of Ngaruawahia on the far side, with the Māori King's residence, tents and huts and a red flag flying. A Māori man in traditional cloak surveys the scene from the centre foreground holding a taiaha. There is a paddlesteamer in the river at the right.
The presence of military tents probably means the scene dates from the Waikato wars 1860-1872.
