Description: Album of photographs, engravings and etchings. Frontispiece is a portrait of Gideon Algernon Mantell, painted by J J Masquerier, engraved by Samuel Stepney. On page 30 is `The country of the iguanadon, restored by John Martin ... from the geological discoveries of Gideon Mantell'; page 29 there is a photo of ink drawing of Brighton by A. Devis (Probably English landscape artist Anthony Devis). Page 42 has a photographic copy of a pen & wash drawing by architect William Clayton of Government House in Wellington, ca 1869. It bears little resemblance to the completed building (copy negative available at 1/2-C-021641). Many of the New Zealand scenes are unidentified, though one group were taken in Queen Charlotte Sound, and Picton. Most are taken by unidentified photographers, though there are tourist scenes of Pipiriki and Jerusalem taken by James Valentine, and some of Te Aroha by Frederick George Radcliffe. A collection of 6 etchings by Wilfrid Williams Ball are all related to the Thames in London, including views of the Tower of London, Gravesend, and Greenwich. An early photograph of Mrs Alfred J Woodhouse (mother-in-law of Gideon Mantell), was taken by an unidentified photographer in 1839.
