'The man on the right with the musket is Neddy, who fought against us under Heki [Hone Heke] at Ruapekapeka. The girl next to him is Maria ... the woman with the baby is said to be the daughter of Chevalier Dillon; and on the left is Jane, who was famous for her personal attractions ... The old lady kneeling on the right is "Na Nuia" Pomare's wife, who placed herself in that becoming attitude to avoid having her portrait taken' From: Oliver, R A A series of lithographic drawings from sketches in New Zealand [London, 1852, plate 6] The Library holds an original watercolour version of this lithograph at C-054-021 The hand-coloured version of this lithograph is catalogued at PUBL-0032-6 Quantity: 1 b&w art print(s).

Description: Standing full-length portrait of a Māori-Pākehā boy, probably the son of a whaler. The child holds a peaked cap in his left hand. The associated text for this image mentions that Harry Bluff is probably the son of a whaler and that he spends much time with his grandfather, Pokene. 'Harry, I fear is receiving but an indifferent education, going about with a doting old grandfather, Pokene, and has already learnt to play cards and smoke a pipe, while his interesting manners and appearance obtain many a sixpence, which is shared between them. Pokene was formerly a person of some consequence.' Quantity: 1 colour art print(s).
