Hochstetter visited New Zealand in 1858-1859. He published "Neuseeland" in 1863. His article "Voyage a la Nouvelle-Zelande" appeared in "Le tour du monde..." vol. XI, 1er. semestre 1865, pages 273-320. This image appeared on page 273, inscribed by D. Lancelot, with C. Laplante as the engraver; it acknowledges that it is drawn after M. F. de Hochstetter. In turn Hochstetter's books acknowledge an earlier sketch by Heaphy. The Drawings and Prints copy at A-109-067 is a reproduction for the later publication (a serial?), "La Terre a vol d'oiseau".
