Rimutaka Incline railway art, 1882


By John Gully (1819-1888). This has so much 'artistic license' that you wonder if John Gully ever visited the line and based this on sketches that others had made at the time the line was opened, which themselves were probably more imagination than reality. We never used this in a book for that reason.
