A man washing his clothes in the foreground of a view of Otago Harbour.
Food storage platforms (whata) and Maori and European dwellings to the
left with sailing ships in the harbour. Gnarled trees and tree-trunks frame
the view on both sides. The view is of Dunedin before organised settlement
in 1840, during the visit of the Astrolabe and the Zelee under the command
of Dumont d’Urville.
