Wildbore took a number of photographs both outside and inside the Barraud & Abraham complex, which occupied the space between Rangitikei Street, Taonui, Walding and Cuba streets. Barraud & Abraham commissioned Wildbore to take a series of photographs showing the various processes involved in producing grass seed for the market. In the early 20th century, the Pohangina Valley was the site of a thriving grass-seed industry. A number of Wildbore’s photographs showing harvesting and transporting of grass seed can be found in “Wildbore: A photographic legacy”.
This photograph shows sacks of grass seed being carted to the warehouse at the Barraud & Abraham premises to “from whence it will be distributed all over the world”.
