The International Exhibition: the New Zealand Court - from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company, 1862. '...some articles of furniture, such as tables and cabinets containing stuffed birds...[can be seen] in the foreground...[The court] was gaily ornamented with banners inscribed with the names and arms of the provinces of the colony. Apart from the manufactured articles of native woods, of which were exhibited some beautiful specimens, the collection...[consisted] mainly of natural products, notable amongst which was gold from Otago and Terante, and auriferous quartz, minerals, ores, native copper...fossils, ironstone, fireclay, marble, agate, cornelians, silureous incrustations of sulphur, Waihohu coal, native woods from Taraire and Pohuntuhawa; wools in great variety, some of them shorn from a cross between Leicester and Merino sheep, which was especially noticeable; and then numerous examples of flax. Besides this there was an interesting collection of robes and garments worn by the natives, and an example of their war-canoes. Altogether the collection, though comparatively small, was well selected, and calculated to exhibit truthfully the characteristic productions and a good deal of the skill and industry of the colony'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
