Artist's monogram matches that of William Swainson; however the style is not typical of his work. He did not commonly use ink and wash; nor is he known to have visited Manawatu, where his daughter Edith lived. He may have redrawn or drawn over and initialled a drawing of hers. There are a number of drawings of areas not visited by William Swainson, but drawn by his offspring, which he has initialled
