View of Wellington, New Zealand. Late 1860s.

Albumen print photograph, 77 x 207 mm; laid down on section of card cut from a 19th-century album leaf; no photographer’s imprint; with contemporary caption in ink beneath the image: ‘Wellington – New Zealand’; the print has lost some contrast but is otherwise in very good condition; the mount is free from foxing.

Possibly attributable to Wellington photographer Edward Smallwood Richards (1834-1917).
