Public comments
This photograph is probably the basis of a painting by H Linley Richardson in the Parliamentary Collection, Wellington. The cabbage tree in the background is on the banks of the Wairoa River at the back of the Takitumu Marae. It was under this tree that Carroll's placenta was buried.
