Artist unknown :Wanganui. [1847 to 1848, or 1864 to 1865?]

View from the south bank of the Whanganui River, showing York Stockade, Rutland Stockade, Christ Church, Yankee Smith's Hotel, Gilfillan's house.

Attributed by the vendor to Edward Arthur Williams although the style does not appear to be his and the view seems more likely to date from the 1840s than the 1860s. Williams visited Wanganui in 1864 and 1865. The church and both stockades were erected in the 1840s. Gilfillan left Wanganui in 1848 and Yankee Smith's Hotel was run by Alva G. Smith only in the 1840s
