- Description
Shows view of Wanganui wharf, Christ Church, and Rutland Stockade, framed by cave entrance, with three Maori figures in the foreground. All have rifles in their posession, and are dressed wrapped in cloaks or blankets. Native foliage frames the mouth of the cave
Impressed into the wooden frame on either side of the image: W E & F Newton, opticians & globemakers to the Queen, 3 Fleet St Temple Bar London
Loosely based on Richard Taylor's 'Wanganui, NZ' (1848), at E-296-q-159, combined with the wood engraving in the Church Missionary Gleaner (1884, p. 83, a re-illustration of an 1850s view) 'The mission station at Wanganui, as seen from a natural cave in the rocks'.
The Library also holds Wanganui and pier [?] from cave, New Zealand [185-?], published by W E & F Newton (Curios-021-007), showing the scene in a similar way, by an unknown artist. It would appear that the reverse of the slide is the correct orientation of the image
