EDITORS COMMENTS
This image features a double portrait of Te Kewiti, the young chief of the Maori Ngate Watnas tribe in New Zealand, and a tattooed Maori man, both drawn in London during the mid-19th century. The portrait of Te Kewiti was created by the French artist Paul Delaroche's studio, with the likeness based on a description and sketch provided by the renowned ethnologist, Sir George Grey. The Maori man's portrait was drawn by the French artist Paul Agasse, showcasing the intricate and distinctive Maori tattoo art. The portraits were later hand-coloured and engraved by W.H. Lizars in Edinburgh, Scotland, based on illustrations by Charles Hamilton Smith for his Natural History of the Human Species. This work was a significant contribution to the ethnological record of the time, documenting the diverse human races and cultures around the world. Te Kewiti's regal bearing and the Maori man's striking tattoos offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Maori people of New Zealand. The intricate patterns and designs on the Maori man's body were not only a symbol of his tribal affiliation but also represented his personal history, achievements, and status within his community. The portraits offer a fascinating insight into the encounters between European artists and the indigenous peoples of the South Pacific during the colonial era. They serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the role of art in documenting history.
