- Description
Shows rocky outcrop Pohaturoa near Atiamuri with the Waikato River between steep cliffs. In the foreground are three houses and carriage drawn by four horses on a road leading from a bridge across the river on the right.
Probably the original for the engraving published in New Zealand: graphic and descriptive... London: Sampson Low,... 1877 pg 19. Inscribed with the title "Pohaturoa". The accompanying text reads "Pohaturoa, or the Great Rock...which rises 650 feet abruptly from the plain in the banks of the Waikato near Niho-o-te Keore, is a celebrated pa of the Ngatiraukawa tribe."
A very similar watercolour of the same scene with minor foreground differences with the title "Pohuturoa near Atiamuri, 1875" was sold at McArthur's Auction, 10 May 1985, Lot 28. The Library has a copy in its photo files.
