- Description
The mission station at Te Puna, Bay of Islands, below Rangihoua Pa, seen from the side, with the beach to the left. It is set back against hills, gardens in front of it, and outbuildings alongside. It is shown as two larger single-storied buildings with hipped rooves and several smaller buildings
John King was the missionary at this station from 1832
The date (written with the title below the work on the scrapbook page in pencil) has been written over, probably by Taylor in compiling the scrapbook, many years after the drawings were created. A date that appears to be 1835 (four years before Taylor arrived in New Zealand) has been written over as what appears to be 1855 (the year Taylor was overseas in England). Taylor visited this station in Sept 1839 and in January 1841. One other drawing in the scrapbook of Te Puna is dated 1839, a third is undated.
