- Description
The mission house at Te Puna, Bay of Islands, below Rangihoua Pa, set back against hills, its garden in front of it, and outbuildings alongside. It is shown as two single-storied buildings with hipped rooves and smaller buildings between. The beach and waterfront curve around in front of the buildings and a bush-clad hill is to the left
John King was the missionary at this station from 1832
A very similar view to that reproduced as a wood engraving in the Church Missionary Register for 1838. The two may have been done independently or possibly Taylor made a copy of the wood engraving. He visited Te Puna in Sept 1839 and in January 1841 according to his Journal. There is also an oil painting from a similar angle, possibly copied from the wood engraving, in the Rex Nan Kivell Collection, National Libary of Australia (Ref. no. T317, NK132)
