They were painted about 1912, but due to the commencement of the 1914-1918 War the exhibition was never held. The pictures were then bought by a Mr Cooper, a director of the Wellington Meat Export Co., who retained one, giving the other five to the Bristol and Dominions Producers Company ... The Company went into liquidation in 1920 and my father, who was one of the Bristol directors - other Directors were situated in New Zealand and Australia - bought the five paintings which were dispersed following his death. I acquired "Otira Gorge" amd "Dusky Sound" is in the possession of my sister. Three of the paintings have disappeared."
