By: Dawson, R, active 1861-1894; Crowder, John, active 1986-2000

Reference: C-064-029

Description: Shows a view of Lyttelton from the Sumner Road, and shows the bridle path well-formed, a sailing ship at the end of the pier, a church with central steeple, several streets and houses. Similar to the work at C-064-001, and probably by the same artist. The church with three gables and a central spire may be the Methodist Church built on Norwich Quay in 1861. (See photo in W H Scotter's history - illustration 16 following page 86; and photo in "Histroy of Methodism in New Zealand", by William Morley (Wellington, 1900), page 429). That church was shifted to Winchester Street in 1866. Comparisons with photographs indicate that there are fewer buildings than there were by 1862 (see photograph in W H Scotter's "A history of Port Lyttelton" (Christchurch, 1968), illustration no 16 following page 86). The watercolour, prior to conservation treatment (before the Library purchased it), had the name R. Dawson on the backing board. This could either be the artist's name, or a framer's note of a former owner's name. An artist called R. Dawson is known to have painted Lyttelton in 1896 and exhibited with the Canterbury Society of Arts between 1892 and 1894. Dated ca 1860 on assumption that the church shown is the Methodist church built in 1860, and by comparison with 1862 photograph, the relatively fewer houses. Other Titles - Dawson, R. Lyttelton, ca 1861 Inscriptions: Recto - bottom left - (Partly cut away): [N]o [1] [or :] 78 In the similar work at C-064-001, the building in the right foreground is shown to be the premises of J Drummond Macpherson.
