This historic photograph captures the task of droving Merino hoggets along the scenic Tasman River flats on Glentanner Station. The station's vast expanse stretches for 30 miles along the river, reaching the lower slopes of Mount Cook, Canterbury. The snow-capped peaks of the Burnett Range, part of Mount Cook Station, rise majestically across the Tasman River.

This image was captured by K.V. Bigwood for the National Publicity Studios. Established in 1945, the National Publicity Studios aimed to promote New Zealand through photography, art, and design.

Step back in time with this captivating vintage photographic print, showcasing the rugged beauty of South Island farming life.

Framed by the majestic snow-capped peaks of Mount Cook and the Burnett Range, this timeless image captures the contrast of tussock grass, rocky terrain, and the shimmering waters of the river. A bridge in the distance adds a touch of human ingenuity to the untamed natural beauty. Perfect for lovers of New Zealand's pastoral history, this black-and-white print blends nostalgia, artistry, and heritage, making it an iconic addition to any collection of vintage, retro, or historic prints.
