View on Lake Rotomahana, New Zealand.

The Pink and White Terraces were a natural wonder located on the shores of the lake. They were considered to be the eighth wonder of the natural world and were New Zealand’s most famous tourist attraction during the mid 19th century.

Interesting colonial image from the original edition of the Australian Sketcher. Many famous artist like A. Cooke, J.R. Ashton and S. Calvert contributed to it. Due to their ephemeral nature not many survived.
