Original Hocken Collection, Album 012, Joseph Perry Photographs of Otago Scenery

About this Collection

Created byPerry, JosephDate range1865Description The leather-bound album contains 43 albumen prints (there is no page 20 so the sequence runs to 44). The photographs were taken by Joseph Perry in collaboration with Dr Hector as part of a project to produce one hundred views of Otago. The photographs are annotated in Dr Hocken's hand. They date from 1864-1865 and are of Otago mainly up around Wanaka and the Maniatoto and also the goldmining areas of Kawarau and Gabriel's Gully. There is also one shot of Green Island coal mine, one of the town of Hampden and several of the Clutha River. Although some of the photographs are scenic, many of them document the transformation of the landscape through human intervention such as mining, road and bridge building and settlement.
NotesThis album is part of Hocken's original collection.
