The Wharf, etc, Auckland, New Zealand, from the Club, 1876
Scope and Contents
358 x 265 mm. A view looking over small houses and shacks towards Queen Street Wharf and shipping in the harbour. The photograph gives a fascinating insight into the cramped shanty life on the docks, showing a jumble of cramped backyards and washing lines separated by rudimentary wooden fences.
