Reference: PA1-o-962

Description: Most of the photographs in this album date from 1945 and 1946. There are young men, some of whom are in military uniform, all of them friends and aquaitances of Miria Wills Johnson. One page of photographs depicts her Australian pen friends, another, people who attended a Y.P.C. Carnival Ball. Three photographs show a group of young men playing baseball, and there are two pages of snaps of motorbike races in progress. Family members, pets, picnics and excursions are represented. The largest section of photographs relate to the barque "Pamir" which was visited and photographed by Miria Wills Johnson when it was in Lyttelton in November/December 1946. Many of the photographs were taken for her. She climbed the bowsprit, the masts and the yard arms and took views of Lyttelton Harbour and of other ships in port at the time. Many of the sailors have been photographed and named. One, Colin Jessup, she seemed to know, and he was probably a Chatham Island connection. There are also photographs and a press cutting of the newly delivered inter island ferry, "Hinemoa". Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).

Description: A naive watercolour of the Deans brothers' farmhouse and outbuildings, viewed from across the "Avon or Shakspear River", with horses, cows and sheep in the foreground, a log bridge, a man (presumably one of the Deans brothers) with a dog under a tree. The house is red, with a second storey with dormer window, a rain barrel below the downpipe from the roof. The outbuildings to the right of the house appear to be thatched stables, are open at the front and shelter a horse and three carts. Trees are roughly indicated behind the house. On the verso are holograph notes about Banks' Peninsula, copied from Duppa, Daniels [?] and Tyrell and from Captain [William Mein] Smith about Port Cooper (Lyttelton) and its merits for settlement versus those of Akaroa. Dating: William Deans was drowned in 1851, a fact that is not mentioned here, suggesting, along with the general tone of the notes, that this drawing may have been completed before then, although the two-storied building on the site was not completed until 1856. Other material from the same source was produced about 1850 or 1851. William Mein Smith's report was completed about 1843. The page has been removed from a notebook. The author of the notes (and artist) appears to be somebody associated with the Canterbury Association. The first two-storied house at Deans' property was built in 1856, when Jane Deans built a larger house on the site in preparation for the arrival of her brother and his family. The house shown here may be the 1856 north-east section, the earliest part of modern Riccarton House. Other sections were added in 1874 and 1900, resulting in a much larger building. One possible artist is John Henry Cridland, whose other drawings from the same source are quite naive. However another drawing by him of the Deans' property (neg MNZ 1215 1/4 - 'Riccarton, November 1850' - Hocken Library) is very different in style from this one. Identification: The building shown appears to be a roughly-drawn version of the first two-storied house on the site, completed in 1856. Other drawings of the same building appear as Plate 5 and Plate 14 (the latter by Robert Park) in Pioneers on Port Cooper Plains. The Deans family of Riccarton and Homebush by John Deans (Christchurch, 1964).
