Description

View looking across the settlement to the Sugar Loaves. Shows bullock teams coming from the beach at the right, and men clearing the bush in the right foreground. In the left foreground a Maori tends three goats. At the centre is Mount Eliot, with the summer residence of Sir George Grey (formerly that of J. T. Wicksteed). The view is derived from "View of Mount Eliot ... " in C. F. Hursthouse's "An account of the settlement of New Plymouth ..." (London, 1849), opp. p.76.
