Mount Egmont, in the province of New Plymouth (Taranaki), North Island, New Zealand, 1862. Creator: Unknown

Mount Egmont, in the province of New Plymouth (Taranaki), North Island, New Zealand, 1862. The snow-crested Apollo of mountains, Mount Egmont, or Taranaki...shoots up from a sea of forest 8000ft. into a brilliant sky. Although not the highest, it is certainly the most strikingly remarkable, mountain in New Zealand, and may be seen from a...distance of more than 100 miles. It rises in a perfect cone from a base thirty miles in diameter, and presents nearly the same appearance viewed from every point. Its summit, which is an extinct crater, is flattened; and it is covered with perpetual snow for nearly a quarter of its entire elevation...There are scarcely any outlying settlements in this province, the inhabitants being mostly concentrated in the village capital, and in a belt of farms, hamlets, and clearings lying around it within a circle of ten or a dozen miles. The district of Taranaki has been termed the garden of New Zealand; and, whether regard be had to the serenity of its climate or to the fertility of its soil, it is surpassed by no other locality in either island. This province has been of late, it is well known, the seat of war in New Zealand; and in our Engraving the Omata Stockade is shown, perched on the top of a hill'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic beauty of Mount Egmont, also known as Taranaki, in the province of New Plymouth on the North Island of New Zealand. The snow-capped peak rises 8000ft into a brilliant sky, standing out as the most strikingly remarkable mountain in the country. Its perfect cone shape and flattened summit make it a truly iconic sight that can be seen from over 100 miles away. Surrounded by lush forests and fertile land, Mount Egmont is a symbol of natural splendor in New Zealand's landscape. The district of Taranaki has been described as the garden of the country, thanks to its serene climate and rich soil that supports thriving farms and settlements. Despite its peaceful surroundings, Taranaki was once a site of conflict during war times in New Zealand. The Omata Stockade perched on top of a hill serves as a reminder of this turbulent history. This historic print not only showcases the breathtaking beauty of Mount Egmont but also provides a glimpse into the past when this region played a significant role in shaping New Zealand's story.
