EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print captures a Maori family in New Zealand during the 1880s. The photograph, taken by an unknown New Zealander photographer, showcases the indigenous people's rich culture and traditional attire. In the image, we see a group portrait of this Maori family standing proudly together. The men are dressed in intricately carved garments, showcasing their tribal heritage. One man holds a rifle, symbolizing both protection and strength within their community. The women are adorned with beautiful costumes that reflect their cultural identity. Their intricate carvings and detailed designs highlight the craftsmanship of Maori artistry. Behind them stands a traditional house, further emphasizing their connection to nature and ancestral traditions. This dwelling serves as a testament to their deep-rooted history and close-knit community ties. The photograph offers us a glimpse into the lives of these Maoris from over a century ago. It is not only an important historical document but also an artistic representation of indigenous culture at its finest. Preserved in private collection today, this remarkable albumen print continues to inspire awe for its portrayal of Maori life during this significant period in New Zealand's history.
