Date: 1890 - 1910
By: Murray, J P, active 1880-1890s; Futter, Frederick Roy, 1906-2001
Reference: G-542
Description: The steam ship Wakatu moored at the old wharf (the Wakatu wharf) Kaikoura in front of the Pier Hotel and other buildings Painted from an identical photo showing the Wakatu at Kaikoura waterfront. The date is difficult to decipher but the Wakatu was built late 1870s. The Wakatu had a black funnel with a white stripe, the colours of the the owners, Levin & Co. The painting shows a red funnel, but this can be explained by the fact that the painting was copied from a black and white photograph. The two-storied building on the waterfront is a hotel. The Wakatu wharf is now almost destroyed. The Pier Hotel still exists, but was moved, possibly about 1900, to another location on the waterfront. Other Titles - S. S.

Physical Description: Oil on canvas 490 x 710 mm Provenance: James Wills, Captain of the Wakatu, was the donor's grandfather (see AT 13/14/2, 9/4/91).

Rollason, James Bernard Richard Walter, 1856-1906: [Ngauranga, late 1840s]. [ca 1900]
Date: 1845 - 1890 - 1850 - 1900
By: Rollason, James Bernard Richard Walter, 1856-1906; Futter, Frederick Roy, 1906-2001
Reference: G-701
Description: Shows a coach and four about to cross a bridge over Ngauranga stream in the foreground. The Hutt Road is visible to the right. Three buildings, including Futter's Tavern in the background. There is a half-canoe monument to Te Wharepouri, upright in the ground beyond the buildings and below the hills Quite possibly a copy of an earlier work by another artist. Other known historical paintings by Rollason appear to be copied. He was known to be painting around 1900. See 'Ngauranga, late 1840s' negative 19460 1/2 for a possible original for Rollason's painting. The artist for 'Ngauranga, late 1840s' is unknown and the photographic print was among collection items held by Anthony Murray-Oliver, with no accompanying documentation. It seems likely that the painting was lent for copying in the 1960s. One extra detail in 'Ngauranga, late 1840s' is a cross on top of the hill closest to the sea; however, it lacks the additional cart and horse on the far side of the stream. The painting includes a view of Futter's Tavern. See also Brees, S.C. N'Houranga. engraving, plate 5, no.8 in his Pictorial Illustrations of New Zealand (London, 1847) for an earlier view of Ngauranga with the monument to Te Wharepouri Other Titles - Ngahauranga Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - Rollason [in red brush-point] Quantity: 1 oil(s). Physical Description: Oil on board 440 x 596 mm (sight)
