- Description
Shows an identified house on the lower Terrace above Lambton Quay, being the house belonging to the Chief Postmaster in Wellington at the time, John Farr Hoggard (1815-1871). The house was built in 1856. There are other, single-story buildings along Lambton Quay, and rowboats pulled up to the water's edge. Two Maori are on foot to the left of the foreground. The boundary of Mr Hoggard's house is fenced. The surrounding bush and hill areas are untypically brown, for Wellington. In the foreground, riding along Lambton Quay, is a carriage pulled by two horses, carrying four people; the carriage is known to have belonged to William Barnard ('Barney') Rhodes, 1807-1878, and the carriage was distinctive for its yellow wheels. Rhodes was also known for his house 'The Grange', situated in Wadestown
A copied example of this painting at G-644 by Edith Richardson, the sister-in-law of John Farr Hoggard. Another copy by John (Jack) Hoggard, son of John Farr Hoggard, is privately owned. The copy titled 'Lambton Quay 1854' is incorrect; it also suggests the location is the vicinity of R Hannah and Co's boot shop
