EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1890s showcases the Maori people of New Zealand in all their cultural glory. The image, captured by a skilled photographer of the 19th century, provides a rare glimpse into the lives of these indigenous individuals.
The Maori, with their distinctive facial tattoos and traditional attire, exude strength and pride as they pose for the camera. Their connection to their land and heritage is palpable in every detail of this historic photograph.
Displayed in The Imperial Album of New Zealand Scenery in 1897, this image serves as a reminder of the rich history and culture that defines Aotearoa. It is a testament to the resilience and spirit of the Maori people who have inhabited these lands for centuries.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a hundred years ago, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever in history. The legacy of the Maori continues to thrive today, thanks to images like these that preserve their traditions for future generations to appreciate.
This stunning print is not just an artistic representation but also a valuable historical document that sheds light on the lives and customs of one of New Zealand's most iconic indigenous communities.
