    Description
    Decorative design featuring a New Zealand landscape of forest, a waterfall and an active volcano.

    Detail from the front cover of the book Neu-Seeland by Ferdinand von Hochstetter (Stuttgart, 1863).

    The scene appears as an oval cartouche on the book’s front board, surrounded by Māori-inspired patterning within the cloth binding.

    Christian Gottlieb Ferdinand Ritter von Hochstetter (1829-1884), German geologist active in Austria and New Zealand.
