Provenance |
From a family estate. Donor information: I believe it was purchased by my grandparents on a visit there sometime in the 1920's. I think that Akaroa's relatively close proximity to Christchurch ( where their family home was) and nearby close relatives who lived in Okuti Valley suggests it may have been purchased on such a visit. |
