The beach at Te Aro

This view looking along the beach from the Te Aro Pā area (modern Taranaki St/Manners St intersection) is the work of S.C. Brees, (Late Principal Engineer and Surveyor to the New Zealand Company), and engraved by Henry Melville.

It graces the back cover of the Library's publication Nga Tupuna o Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
