Label TextAn amazing amount of space is depicted in this intriguing print. A drawing of the subject was probably made when Meryon visited Akoroa, New Zealand, in 1845. The voyage took place while Meryon was in the French navy, long before he became a printmaker. In the foreground, the settler’s hut sits slightly below a rise. On the right is a large toetoe plant (Cortaderia toetoe), a tussock grass recognized by the large flower plums on tall stems. Beside the hut is a tree fern. Tree ferns are found growing in tropical and subtropical areas in Australia, New Zealand, and other nearby islands.Exhibition HistoryToledo Museum of Art, Yale University Art Gallery, St. Louis Art Museum, Charles Meryon Prints and Drawings, 1975-75, No. 98, p. 99.
