DUPPA, George 1819–1888

Arrived in New Plymouth on the Brougham in 1841, listed as a draughtsman; made exploring journeys. Was in Wellington 1843, but took up land in Nelson and was said to be the first man to make a fortune in New Zealand. His drawing of New Plymouth settlement was lithographed in London by T. Allom for the New Zealand Company. A watercolour of the coast at Moturoa drawn from the Brougham is in Taranaki Museum. Copies of the lithograph are in Hocken and Turnbull, the latter also holding Duppa's sketchbook.
