EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Todd-White Art Photography takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the life of a Maori man. The engraved plate showcases a striking profile of this indigenous individual, adorned with intricate facial tattoos that tell stories of his heritage and identity. His hair comb and other jewelry further accentuate his cultural significance. Published in John Hawkesworth's renowned book "An account of the voyages undertaken by the order of His present Majesty" this engraving serves as an invaluable record from one of history's great exploration journeys. It sheds light on the encounters between Captain Cook and the native people during his voyage to New Zealand. The monochrome illustration captures every detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry involved in its creation and its historical importance. The vertical composition emphasizes the man's strength and dignity, while also highlighting his unique features. As we observe this image, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in an era where cultures collided and discoveries were made. It reminds us of our shared human history and encourages us to reflect upon our connections with indigenous communities worldwide.
