EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 32b New Zealand Portrait of a Maori, 1768-75 (red chalk)" by William Hodges. The image, housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, offers a glimpse into the world of Captain Cook's Second Voyage through original sketches and drawings collected by Admiral Isaac Smith. In this particular portrait, we see a proud Maori man with intricate facial tattoos that tell stories of his heritage. His curly hair frames his face as he gazes confidently into the distance. The russet tones add depth to his features and highlight the richness of his culture. The expeditionary nature of this artwork is evident in its exploration of indigenous cultures during Cook's voyage. It serves as a testament to the curiosity and fascination that drove explorers like Hodges to document these encounters with precision and respect. The striking profile view allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind Maori tattooing but also their significance within their society. The cloak draped over his shoulders further emphasizes his status and connection to tradition. As we delve into this remarkable piece from Oceania's history, it becomes clear that it represents more than just an individual; it symbolizes resilience, identity, and cultural preservation. Through red chalk strokes on paper, Hodges immortalized this moment in time for future generations to cherish and learn from.
