Public comments
Photography. — We notice that Messrs. Swan and Wrigglesworth have displayed in the window of their establishment in Willis-street, a photograph of the prisoners lately taken on the East Coast by Major Fraser's little party. The Hau Hau in the picture look very crest-fallen as they sit huddled together, guarded by a party of their brave captors. Wellington Independent, Volume XX, Issue 2288, 23 November 1865
