VIEW OF AUCKLAND, FROM THE CRATER OF MOUNT EDEN..., 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
View of Auckland, from the crater of Mount Eden, from a drawing by Major Stack, 1862. 'The foreground of this Engraving represents an extinct crater, 600 yards in circumference, 200 yards in diameter, and about 60 or 70 yards in depth. The summit is about 1000ft. above the level of the sea, of which a fine view is obtained, dotted with numerous islands, the triple peaks of the extinct volcanic Rangitoto being most conspicuous, and the great and little barrier islands in the extreme distance... But the scenery for several miles around Auckland...is almost entirely devoid of wood, open, and undulating, dotted here and there with small volcanic hills of moundlike form, and intersected in all directions by the numerous branches of the Waitemata and the creeks of the Manukau. The greater part of the isthmus is already in cultivation; not a stump of a tree has been left in the ground, and solid stone walls and hedges of whitethorn and furze are generally taking the place of the temporary fences of posts and rails. In every direction may be seen grass and clover paddocks, as large, as rich, as well laid down, and as substantially fenced as any grass land in England, and the country around has all the appearance of a homelike English landscape'.

PRIZE ANIMALS FROM THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S SHOW IN BATTERSEA PARK, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Prize animals from the Royal Agricultural Society's show in Battersea Park, 1862. '...Saxony merino rams...One of them was bred by Mr. Heinrich Adolph Steiger, of Leutewitz and Lothayn, near Meissen...The wool is very evenly grown all over the fleece, and of great strength...the gold medallist (which holds its head higher in the Engraving)...was bred by Carl August Gädegast, of Thal, near Oschatz. Beneath these is Ellington, the winner of the Derby in 1856...This dark brown is the property of Mr. Henry Phillips...he bids fair, when a few more of his stock have come out, to become one of the most popular sires of the day. He did not show to full advantage at Battersea, as the new scene so overset him that he could hardly touch any food...Side by side with him is "Bonnie," a roan cart mare, winner of the first prize in her class, and the property of Mr. John Gay Attwater, of Hallingwood Farm, near Cheltenham; and beneath them the two gold-medal winners in the Swiss cattle classes. The bull, which is of the "tall Swiss brown race," is the property of Forstand des Scheweizerischen Bawernvereins, and the cow, which is of the red and pale-white spotted Fribourg race...[was] sent over by Adrien Ecoffey Villars Sousmont, canton of Fribourg'.
