- Description
View on the southern flank of Maungatautari with soldiers among the long grass, firing towards the pa on the top of the nearby ridge. Two horses are galloping by and there is swampy land or a stream in the foreground. Gunsmoke from hidden Maori can be seen coming from the pa and from the foot of the hill. This was the final battle of the Waikato campaign of the New Zealand wars
While many of Hamley's watercolours are copied from those of his superior officer, E. A. Williams, this work may be his own
The additional title 'Maori Pah on hill' is in the hand of Anthony Murray-Oliver, a former staff member. Only the title Maungatautari appears on the recto in the hand of the artist
