Landscape with windmill, oil on canvas, depicting a large windmill and 2 small cottages on a heath, with a wagon on a track beside, signed lower right, 18 x 25.5 cm (7 x 10 ins), framedCondition Report: This oil on canvas is in generally good condition, with no major defects or damage. The surface of the picture is lightly discoloured, and would benefit from a gentle professional clean.Qty: (1)NOTESEdwin Harris, well-known for his topographical scenes of New Plymouth and Nelson, emigrated to New Zealand with his wife Sarah and their children in November 1840. The trials and tribulations which beset them in this foreign country were numerous, including losing most of their possessions when their log hut burnt down 2 months after arrival. Edwin began work there as a civil engineer, surveyor, and architect, and subsequently became a drawing master at a school in the town of Nelson. He instructed all his children in the rudiments of sketching and painting, and Emily (1837-1925), the second of his five children, experimented with a variety of artistic techniques, painting landscapes and botanical studies in watercolour and oils, as well as producing items painted on satin such as fire screens and fans. She exhibited these latter items locally as well as sending them for exhibition at the 1886 Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London. In an attempt to bolster her family's finances she also had her work published in 1890 in three books, entitled New Zealand Flowers , New Zealand Ferns and New Zealand Berries, each containing 12 lithographs after her paintings, and a further title, Fairyland in New Zealand , was published containing her illustrations. In 1924 63 of her watercolours were purchased by the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington for 10 shillings each, and her father's work is represented in a number of public collections in New Zealand.

He published a number of influential botanical works, including continuations of the Prodromus in collaboration with his son. He developed the first Laws of Botanical Nomenclature, which was adopted by the International Botanical Congress in 1867, and became the prototype of the current International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. In 1855 de Candolle published Géographie botanique raisonnée which was a ground-breaking work, having a significant influence upon Harvard botanist Asa Gray. In 1859 he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and in 1889 awarded the Linnean Medal.
