Description: View from the lower slopes between Brooklyn and Mount Cook, with cows, a herdsman and his dog on the road in the foreground. On the right lie the swamps of Te Aro, with Te Aro Pa visible along the foreshore, along with scattered houses. To the left of the pa area, the road passing diagonally across the plain is probably Cuba Street. The most prominent building on the foreshore is either the Maori or the Wesleyan Chapel in Manners St. The cliff at the water's edge to the left is Clay Point with Plimmer's Ark visible moored in the water at its base. On the far left in the plain area, the large church building is St Peter's, Willis St. Thorndon is in the background to the left, with Pipitea Point (now Thorndon Quay) and Kumutoto Spit (now Midland Park) both visible. The preliminary watercolour for this work is located at C-007-007 with title 'Te Aro and Thorndon, 1852'. It is dated 1852 and lacks the cows, herdsman and dog of C-007-0011, but shows more of the swamps of Te Aro, with Waitangi Creek meandering through them. The building details are less clear in the preliminary work. Reproduced as a Turnbull Library Print, 1975 as part of the Colonial Wellington Series.

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). Inscriptions: Recto - top centre - [title in ink as above, with "only 50 Godley" in pencil in another hand]; Recto - centre right - [in river, in pencil]: Avon or Shakspear River.; Verso - [in ink, page covered in text] Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Ink and watecolour on laid paper 310 x 198 mm Provenance: Originally tipped in to a volume of The New Zealand Journal, ca 1852, from Alexander Horsburgh Turnbull's collection. Prior to acquisition by Alexander Turnbull the volumes had belonged to W H Burnand.

Reference: C-152-003

Description: Shows a view of a single storey wooden house with a front verandah, in a section bounded by hedges and a front white picket fence. The property is planted with trees and shrubs with a front lawn. A boy tosses a ball on the front lawn. A woman stands holding an infant on the driveway in front of the house, to greet two women who have descended from a horsedrawn buggy at the right, and have passed through the front gate to approach the house up the driveway. Another buggy is parked in the centre foreground, with no horses attached. In the right foreground are two cows, and a dog runs in from the far right. Another dog watches, lying on the roadway beside the gate. In an adjoining field at the far left, a man on horseback approaches the hedged property. Behind the house, within the hedge, is a garden with rows of plants, probably vegetables. In the background is a low hill with three more white buildings on it, and further hills rise in the distance. The name "Mr Price" is inscribed on the backing board. The Southland location is assumed from the fact that Aubrey painted in Southland and Otago in the 1870s and early 1880s. The most prominent farmer in the district was John Morgan Price on Hawthorn Farm at Athol; a comparison with photographs of the farm buildings in Trevor Price's "Morgan Price & family : story of John Morgan Price ... (Auckland, 1991), gives no conclusive evidence that the homestead in the painting is on that farm. Quantity: 1 watercolour(s). Physical Description: Watercolour, 375 x 560 mm.
