ca.1910 image: Wellesley Street and Public Library, Auckland, circa 1910, Auckland, by Muir & Moodie. Te Papa (O.019341)
The date for the Muir & Moodie image is clearly after the introduction of electric trams in 1902, and likely earlier than 1910, as in 1909 the department store Milne & Choyce (seen here at right on the corner of Queen and Wellesley Streets) moved to a new location in Queen Street.
For an 1886 Burton Brothers photograph of this scene taken from roughly the same viewpoint, see the then-and-now treatment on this site, here.
