Gustavus von Tempsky

Gustavus von Tempsky

A formal portrait of Gustavus Ferdinand von Tempsky wearing the uniform of the Armed Constabulary, circa 1868. Although he spent only six years in this country, Tempsky was one of the most colourful characters of 19th-century New Zealand and became something of a folk hero.
