EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Major Witchells charge at Nukumaru" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. Created by Arthur David McCormick, this colour lithograph captures the intensity and bravery of Major Witchell's charge during the colonial era in New Zealand. The image is part of the Romance of Empire series, authored by Reginald Horsley, which aimed to depict various aspects of British imperialism across different colonies. In this particular scene, we witness Major Witchell leading his troops fearlessly against native Maori warriors at Nukumaru. The print showcases not only the power dynamics between the British Empire and its colonies but also highlights the resilience and determination displayed by both sides involved. The clash between colonial forces and indigenous peoples was a common occurrence during this period of history. Through vibrant colours and intricate details, McCormick brings this historical event to life, allowing us to imagine ourselves amidst the chaos and adrenaline-filled atmosphere on that fateful day. It serves as a reminder of how exploration, conquests, and clashes shaped nations like New Zealand into what they are today. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it prompts us to reflect on the complexities surrounding colonialism while appreciating its artistic representation.
