360 degree panorama in 6 panels. Although the view is drawn as if from the top of a mountain such as Mt Eden, the perspective, in order to include important geographical feature such as Motukorea, is actually from a higher point. Each panel is marked on the bottom outside edges with letters that match to the adjacent panel.
The artist's signature, CUTH CLARKE DEL, is located on the bottom right corner of panel F-A.
Record title provided from panel F-A.
