From picks to Pietas - James Tannock Mackelvie's rise to fame with Mary Kisler
Wednesday 7 April 12pm – 1pmWhile James Tannock Mackelvie spent only the years 1865 to 1871 living in Auckland, working for Brown, Campbell & Co., his investments provided the funds to collect a wide array of art, books and objects that he gave to the people of Auckland. His archive, sent to Auckland after his death in 1885, shows he threw little away. Alongside his annotated catalogue for the 1882 Hamilton Palace sale are lists of everyday items such as tea, shovels, and beef provided for gold miners. This talk is based on research carried out in the Mackelvie archive at Sir George Grey Special Collections.
