| Name/Title |
PHOTOGRAPH; Manganui-o-te-Ao River
|
| Brief Description |
In this sepia-tinted photograph of the Manganui-o-te-Ao River we can see two men in a canoe at middle right and tents on the west bank. There are signs of cultivation with planted crops protected by fences.
This image is one that provokes admiration at its composition, its atmosphere and its technical competence. It tells us a lot about what was happening on and around this cold tributary of the Whanganui River at the turn of the twentieth century and it shows how little the area has changed in comparison to the widespread loss of bush and river pollution in nearby places.
