About the Item

Title: Serene Forest View in the Moa Basin, New Zealand Description: This exquisite lithograph, circa 1836, captures a tranquil scene of lush forested terrain in the Moa Basin of New Zealand. The composition highlights the natural beauty of the landscape, with a cascading waterfall flowing through rocky outcrops surrounded by dense vegetation. The intricately detailed flora, including ferns and native plants, evokes a sense of untouched wilderness and serenity. The artist, Louis Auguste de Sainson, has meticulously depicted the interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the depth and texture of the forest environment. This piece is part of Dumont d'Urville’s expedition series aboard the Astrolabe, later reproduced in Brodtmann’s *Entdeckungs, Reise der Franzosischen Corvette Astrolabe*. The lithograph serves as a vivid visual document of New Zealand's rich and varied natural landscape during the 19th century. Condition Report: Light foxing and toning in the margins, with minimal handling wear. The image area remains sharp and detailed, showcasing excellent contrast and preservation. Overall in very good condition for its age. Keywords: New Zealand landscape, Moa Basin, Dumont d'Urville, Astrolabe expedition, Louis Auguste de Sainson, Brodtmann lithographs, 19th-century nature art, forest scene, cascading waterfall, New Zealand flora, ethnographic art, wilderness exploration.
