Lake Taupo painting
John Backhouse painted this romantic view of Lake Taupo in the 1880s. The scene seems an unlikely one with a clear view of all three main volcanoes – Tongariro, Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe. This is now part of the Tongariro National Park and is a World Heritage Cultural Landscape.
John Philemon Backhouse, 1880s
