Description: Watercolour by an unidentified hand, possibly after Augustus Earle's lithograph Kororadika Beach [1827 or 1828], published 1838. View from the top of a steep path looking down towards the beach. There is a ship in the bay, as well as other vessels in the water and on the beach, which could be waka. The view is framed on both sides by trees; on the left are three trees that look like palms, but that are probably cabbage trees. Two Maori figures stand in the foreground. These are probably women, as they both have what appear to be babies on their backs.
