Five drawings on one page. From the top, 'Heke's first pah' shows Hone Heke's pa in the background, with Lake Omapere in the foreground, groups of Maori gathered. 'Landing a canoe' shows a long waka landing by pa pallisades to the right, with a volcanic peak in the background. Seated and standing men are in the canoe, and on land. Five rowers are waving oars in the air. The view of Tamaki shows a rolling landscape with a ridged volcanic peak in the background. 'Three seated Maori' have their cloaks wrapped around them.
