- Description
A view across the Ohinemuri River towards hills. Trees and shrubs line both sides of the river. A small sailboat is heading towards two men waiting on the riverbank on the left
Originally catalogued by the Library as being painted by J B Fraser, a possible interpretation of the artist's monograme. The annotations on the back were believed to be signed by surveyor Malcolm Fraser from a reading of the illegible first name inscribed on the verso. However the writing and style of drawing and painting match those of Captain I T B Fraser, artist of a group of sketches of the war in Waikato, ca 1864, Library reference number E-571-q. See also I T B Fraser's Between Cashels Station and Shortland (A-196-014), similarly inscribed
Inscriptions: Recto - bottom left - Signed with initials as a monogram in red brushpoint. On verso in pencil: Title continues '60 miles. Te Hiri is the native chief. It is in the hands of the Hau Haus and they will not have it opened for a gold field. The meaning of Ohinemuri is ... Drawn 1869. The land is beautiful and a great many gold bearing reefs are in the district. This I know, having been at them. [Signed, first word illegible] Fraser'.
