This is a curated selection of artworks from the collection of the Forrester Gallery which were created between approx. 1850 and 1920. In most part the selection features images of special places in the Waitaki District – such as Oamaru Harbour, Cape Wanbrow, Waianakarua and Moeraki. We have also included some works by artists of significance from the same time period, such as: George Chance, Claus Fristrom, Margaret Stoddart, and Petrus Van der Velden. The architectural drawings of the Forrester Gallery by R A Lawson are also included due to their high artistic value and significance
