- Description
The preliminary watercolour for Barraud's more finished version ("Wellington from Brooklyn" C-007-011) showing Te Aro flat with Waitangi Creek meandering through it on the right, a low hill in the foreground (the lower slopes between Mount Cook and Brooklyn) with Te Aro Pa visible on the shore to the right and houses, businesses and churches, more densely settled closer to Clay Point, the cliff face by the sea on the left, with Plimmer's Ark visible at its foot at the water's edge. The larger building near the waterfront may be the Maori Chapel. The road passing diagonally across Te Aro flat slightly right of centre is most likely to be Cuba Street. Thorndon is visible in the distance on the left. The large church on the left is St Peter's in Willis Street.
Reproduced in Louis E. Ward's 'Early Wellington' (Wellington, 1928), opp. p. 302 ('in the possession of Sir F. R. Chapman'), labelled 'Te Aro 1850' (it is actually dated 1852), with the caption 'From Mount Cook. St Peter's Church, Boulcott St, and Clay Point are on the left of the Maori Chapel, Te Aro Pa, Swamp and Waitangi Creek are to the right'
