Kuputuhi e Wātea Tūmatanui ana

Three of the Heaphy sketchbooks, PD 56(85-87), were dismantled from their original sketchbook format and the works were individually mounted, using conservation materials. The original covers and bindings are boxed separately.

The first two works in this sketchbook attributed to Merrett, and the last to Cuthbert C. Clarke, the rest are by Heaphy
