The town of New Plymouth in the year 1843, from a sketch taken by Mrs Wicksteed from the residence of John Tylston Wicksteed Esqr., the Company's agent, on Mount Eliot. Plate 10 . From the book: Illustrations to Adventure in New Zealand

The accompanying text reads: The spectator stands with his back to the sea, in the garden of the Company's agent. There is only an open Roadstead here, and the colonists are essentially agricultural. Surf-boats, however, and excellent moorings, provided by the Company, facilitate the landing of passengers and goods. Mount Egmont is distant about fifteen miles.
