EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1890s showcases the stunning natural beauty of Tapuaeharuru in New Zealand. The image, captured by a talented New Zealand photographer of the 19th century, is a true testament to the breathtaking landscapes that have made this country famous.
The scene depicted in this photograph is truly mesmerizing, with its rugged mountains, lush forests, and crystal-clear waters. It transports viewers back in time to an era when New Zealand was still largely untouched by modern development, allowing us to appreciate its raw and unspoiled beauty.
Tapuaeharuru is a place of great significance to the Maori people, who have inhabited these lands for centuries. Its name translates to "the thundering footsteps," evoking images of powerful waterfalls cascading down rocky cliffs and creating a sense of awe and wonder.
This print was originally featured in The Imperial Album of New Zealand Scenery in 1897, showcasing the talent and artistry of Wheeler & Son photographers in Christchurch and McKee & Gamble Photo Engravers in Wellington. It serves as a timeless reminder of the rich history and natural wonders that make New Zealand such a special place.
