EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Wellington, N.Z. From The Hills," offers an expansive view of Wellington, New Zealand, also known as Te Whanganui-a-Tara in the native Maori tongue. The image dates back to circa 1921 and was created by the skilled hand of Harry Linley Richardson. Teeming with history and natural beauty, Wellington has served as the capital city of New Zealand since 1865. Nestled between the harbor and the rolling hills, the city is a breathtaking blend of urban development and natural splendor. Richardson masterfully captures the essence of Wellington's unique character in this etching. The intricate details of the city's buildings and the sprawling landscape are brought to life through the use of drypoint, a printmaking technique that allows for the creation of textured lines and tonal variations. The hills that encircle Wellington are a prominent feature in the image, providing a picturesque backdrop to the bustling city below. The harbor, with its tranquil waters and surrounding greenery, adds to the serene beauty of the scene. This etching, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage of Wellington and New Zealand as a whole. It invites viewers to take a moment to appreciate the natural and cultural wonders of this remarkable city and country.
