"From his youth Barraud had displayed artistic talent, and for the first 26 years of his life in New Zealand he travelled widely in his spare time over a large area of the North and South Islands, sketching in the various provinces, and recording his impressions of the attractions of New Zealand. Many of these sketches he worked up to a larger scale, and the climax of this activity came in 1875 when he decided to sail to England to take advice on the publication of his work. This was published in 1877 under the title New Zealand, Graphic and Descriptive, his publishers being Samson, Low, Marston, Searle, and Rivington, the lithographer being C. F. Kell, while the descriptive material was edited by W. T. L. Travers. The book features 24 full-page colour lithographs of landscapes and numerous other plain lithographs and woodcuts dealing with aspects of native life in New Zealand. Several of the lithographs are of considerable historic interest, particularly that portraying the Pink and White Terraces which were destroyed in the Tarawera eruption" ALL THE PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK. All books are sent with free courier postage within New Zealand. HEAVY BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COSTS OUTSIDE OF NEW ZEALAND.

In den Warenkorbunbound. Color Lithograph. Image measures 11 3/4" x 14", sheet size 17 x 22". Sheet trimmed and repairs to margins but not affecting the lithograph or title text. This stunning scenic view of New Zealand depicts 'Te Tarata', or "The tattooed rock" in Maori, also known as the "White Terrace". Reportedly the largest silica sinter…deposits on Earth, this remarkable natural wonder was believed to have been buried in the 1886 eruption of Mt. Tarawera. The view features the surrounding Lake Roto-Mahana. Some travelers climb the terraces while others sit aboard a waka, or a Maori canoe. Steam appears to be rising from the hill top, as well as nearby rock formations, showing the geothermal springs and geysers that helped form the terraces. This print is a beautiful documentation of a landscape that is often considered the eighth wonder of world, but has now been lost to time.
