The scene is Taupiri Gorge from the Kupukupa Coal Mines showing the slate formation of the Hakarimata Range through which the Waikato River has forged a passage. The picture is excellently painted, and is a vast improvement on some of Mr Sharpe's former productions. New Zealand Herald, 6 March 1876.
