Well, the image can be found on the National Libary of New Zealand website (not Gallery, as I saud earlier).....but, just reading through it all again I've just realised there is nothing in there which confirms the NLNZ has the actual painting in it's pocession.

There's another interesting point here....the main reference libary is called the Turnbull collection......and the captain of the Accy in 1861 (after the poisioning incident) who smashed the sailing record with the Accy in racing to Dunedin NZ in 93 days was also called...Turnbull. Odd, innit.
