1870170751c.1870s. New Zealand through a watercolourist's eyes A colourful record of travels in search of the picturesque including views of lakes Wakatipu Wanaka Rotoma and Te Anau as well as depictions of cattle and sheep stations and settlements. The unidentified traveller evidently ventured via Tasmania for the album opens with paintings of Hobart town mistakenly identified as in New Zealand and its harbour. The finest watercolour is a sweeping double-page panorama of Te Anau framed against the mountainous horizon. At Wakatipu the artist both drew from the shore and on a steamer in the middle of the lake. Their attention to natural scenery for example a waterfall in the Rees Valley is matched by their ability to capture the feel of New Zealand's prospering settlements. One painting shows Thompson's Station established beside Lake Wanaka in 1859 while another documents a flourishing homestead near Nelson. Landscape octavo.
