[Jury, Henry] 1806?-1888 :A treat given by Mr B Reeve of Johnsonville, to the school children to welcome the Duke of Edinburgh to Wellington in the year 1869 - 80 people all seated / Agnes E Shaw, photographer [1920s?].

A photograph of an original art work, showing seven Clydesdale horses, with boy riders, pulling a wagon (known as a wood wain or woodwain) decorated with flags and foliage. The horses are controlled by a man standing in the wagon, probably Mr B Reeve. Along the sides of the wagon are seated young women. The location is a plain with distant hills, and the horses' hooves stir up a little dust in their wake.

An article in the Evening Post, 10 May 1869, refers to the original painting and states that it was the work of Mr Jury; elsewhere in the Evening Post from the same era there are other references to Mr H Jury as an artist.

A copy of the photograph of the painting was published in the Evening Post in 1929.

Agnes Shaw is known to have been a photographer in Wellington in the 1920s, and this photograph may have been taken, from the painting, in the 1920s.

Quantity: 1 photograph(s).

Physical Description: Photograph 117 x 194 mm.
