Morris, J R album
Date: [Circa 1880s-1900s]
By: Morris, John Richard, 1854-1919; Ferrez, Marc, 1843-1923
Reference: PA1-f-038
Description: Scenic photographs, chiefly of South Island lakes and mountains, taken by John Richard Morris (Jnr); and three photographs of Rio de Janiero taken by Brazilian photographer Marc Ferrez. Photographs by J R Morris include two of seabirds, both of which show snare's crested penguins, one showing a variety of seabirds, stated to be at the Bounty Islands. However there is a loose leaf inserted at page 41, which says the caption is incorrect "Not Bounty islands - no vegetation. Info: Duncan Cunningham, Dept. of Conservation, 11/6/92". Most of the images by Morris are purely landscapes, but there is one view of a large group of children paddling at St Clair Beach, Dunedin; one of a young man standing in front of Beech Hut, with Mount Balloon in the background; one of a man standing by a dinghy with a sail at Boat Cove, Lake Te Anau; one of a man standing beneath Hawke's Crag in the Buller Gorge; and one of Fern Arch in the Buller Gorge. The three views by Marc Ferrez are entitled "Pont de Sylvestre" (the Viaduto do Silvestre da Estrada de Ferro do Corcovado) leading up to Mount Corcovado; "Sommet de Corcovado", "Promenade de l'aqueduc".
