The panorama from the isthmus

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.

The title and other descriptive tags on all panels are in the hand of John Logan Campbell

The panels were framed for an exhibition at Auckland Art Gallery in 19?? in this order: F-A, A-B, B-C, C-D, D-E, E-F. As a result the artist's signature was hidden under the overlap. The size of the framed item was 41 x 244 cm

East and West Harbours were names given by Campbell to Waitemat? and Manukau Harbours in his manuscript.
