TitleIllustrated London News 1855 vol.27 page 619DescriptionThe article describes Kawau Island near Auckland, highlighting its striking scenery, rich copper deposits, and the mining operations developed under Mr. Berger, including deep shafts, smelting works, and a sheltered harbour surrounded by dense kauri forest. It notes the island’s growing appeal as a future destination for travellers and officials. It then introduces a portrait of the elderly chief Horata (Tanewa), who remembered Captain Cook’s visit and had recently welcomed gold discoveries on his land, valuing the honour it brought to his ancestors’ place more than personal gain.
