Panorama of New Zealand - Bivouack of Surveyors, 1850. Display in London: '...painted by Mr. S. C. Brees, from drawings made by him during his location in New Zealand as principal engineer and surveyor to the New Zealand Company...a party of surveyors and men bivouacking in the bush. The several varieties of trees, and their size, are observed...The encampment is always made near a stream, for the convenience of water...An immense fire is constantly kept up in front, day and night...The scenery of this Panorama is remarkably well painted; the picturesqueness, the mountain grandeur, and the forestial wealth of this truly wonderful country, are beautifully depicted...The information afforded by the picture, as well as by Mr. Brees's explanatory lecture, will be as important to any intending emigrant as it is interesting to the sight-seer'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
