Sainson, Louis Auguste de b 1800 :Vue de la Baie des Iles (Nouvelle Zelande). De Sainson pinx; Deroy lith. [Paris; 1833]. Pl 50.

An extensive view of Jacks Bay (Manawaora Bay, Bay of Islands) looking down from a hill to the south of the bay, along the foreshore and out towards the sea. A ship, probably the Astrolabe, is shown anchored out in the bay and a small schooner is shown at the water's edge. The artist visited the Bay of Islands in 1827, and signs of European habitation are slight. There is washing hanging on a clothes-line, a row of barrels, several Europeans moving around and several raupo dwellings.
