This print from the 1890s captures a Colonial Riding Party in New Zealand, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of the era. The group of riders, dressed in traditional colonial attire, exudes an air of privilege and leisure as they enjoy a horseback excursion through the picturesque landscapes of New Zealand.
The image is a snapshot of history, offering a glimpse into the social customs and pastimes of the time. The riders appear relaxed and at ease, embodying the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized this period in New Zealand's history.
