Description: A view from Tuamarina Hill, looking south towards the Wither Hills and White Bluffs, with the Wairau Plain below. Spring Creek winds towards the sea in the foreground, and a large stand of bush is marked in with solid pencil in the middle distance On the verso is T. B. Collinson's pencil drawing [Tropical port with banana plantations] (A-292-092). This drawing relates to a privately-owned watercolour 'Part of Wairau, July 1845'. The watercolour shows the far hills at a greater distance and includes a section of 'Massacre hill' with two European men in the foreground. The details of the Wairau Plain are very similar in both works. The date on the watercolour is earlier than the date on this view but Bell possibly made a copy for T. B. Collinson, in whose sketchbook this drawing appears. Inscriptions: Recto - bottom left - title and date and attribution in ink in the hand of T. B. Collinson. Bottom centre title in pencil, probably in the hand of Francis Dillon Bell Quantity: 1 drawing(s).
