- Description
The fortification on Marsland Hill at New Plymouth with a large hospital tent in front and many Maori and Pakeha in front of it. In the foreground, groups of Maori and Pakeha, including a man performing a challenge, with an axe. The occasion appears to be festive, with many flags strung up and families present, possibly after the cessation of hostilities at New Plymouth.
Based on a watercolour in Edward Arthur Williams' sketchbook, called Taranaki (E-348-131/13l). There is also a watercolour of the same subject called New Plymouth 18 June 1864 by E. A. Williams, held by the Hocken Library (neg 116167 1/2 in the Drawings and Prints photographic files).
