A view of Putiki Pa, Wanganui, with Mount Taranaki included in the background. There is a surrounding palisade, several raised carved patakas and whares with family groups standing and sitting outside. There are also several dogs. Engraver G F Sargent
Based on a lithograph by J. A. Gilfillan 'Interior of a native village or 'Pa' in New Zealand, situated near the town of Petre, at Wanganui' [ca 1851]. The fencing and buildings are closely copied, and the figures have been altered somewhat. Gilfillan's lithograph does not have Mount Taranaki behind it. Mount Taranaki is many kilometres distant and in the north, whereas Gilfillan's view faces south
