Queens Wharf, Wellington in the 1890s, art

A passenger train from Te Aro station is shown hauled by an R class single Fairlie as well as ships and horses and carts/cabs.  It doesn't show the Wellington Harbour Board Offices building at left -- this was built in 1896.  An acrylic painting by Roly Hermans.
