This
is a detail of a screen painted by Peter McIntyre, the most recognised
New Zealand artist of the Post War period. The double-sided screen was commissioned
by Lady Freyberg in 1951 (Lord Freyberg VC was Governor-General from 1946
to 1952) to compensate for the lack of view of Wellington harbour from
Government House. The "day side" was shown at breakfast, and
by dinner the screen was turned around to this side, the "night side".
