| Description |
The 20th of July marks the passing of New Zealand’s sixth Premier, Sir Frederick Aloysius Weld in 1891. Weld only held the position of Premier from the 24th of November 1864 to the 16th of October 1865 however in this time a number of controversial changes were implemented. The Capital of New Zealand was shifted from Auckland to Wellington and his proposals for Maori relations were adopted, leading to the confiscation of 1.2 million acres of Waikato land. Soon after Weld resigned from New Zealand politics “rather too dirty a game to be pleasant” and left the colony in 1867. However Weld did not stay away from Politics for long, beginning in 1868 an 18 year career as colonial governor. Frederick Weld was not just a controversial politician; he was also an avid writer and painter amongst other things. This image depicts a small water colour painting by Weld, found in one of his four personal journals we hold at Archives New Zealand as a part of the record group: Frederick Weld Papers. Beginning in 1843 with letters sent from Weld beginning life in New Zealand to his family in England, including pamphlets and press cuttings as well as his personal journals and ending with letters of condolence for his death in 1891; the records give great insight into the early New Zealand life in general and more specifically into the life of a controversial and interesting man.
