Photographer unknown. Views of cities and landscapes of New Zealand. 1860s. 16 albumen prints, several oval, mounted to board. Each circa 19 x 16 cm. Some annotated in pencil in German below the images on the mount as well as on mount verso.

These early views of New Zealand include cityscapes of Auckland and the harbor of Wellington, alpine and glacial landscapes, as well as a rare early panorama of Nelson. Among the more unusual subjects is a photograph depicting the consulate building of the “Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg” on Queen Street in Auckland.
– Time-stained and soiled mounts with some foxing. Some photos faded, a few with scuff marks, some with spots, otherwise most in good to very good condition and several with strong violet brown tones.
