Very early Wellington photograph showing Manners Street and Te Aro Pa with Mt Victoria in the distance.
Buildings visible here include Kebble's Mill, the Methodist Church, the Ship Hotel, the New Zealander Hotel, and Bethune and Hunter's. Between Manners Street and the shoreline to the left are Farish Street, Lombard Street and Cornhill Street.
This print copy has previously been incorrectly dated 1863. The name "F.J. Denton" written in the lower-right corner refers to the Whanganui photographer who printed this from a negative he had purchased elsewhere.
