EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Maori chief from the Houa-Houa tribe in Uawa, Tolaga Bay, North Island, New Zealand. The chief's commanding presence is evident as he stands tall and proud, adorned in traditional attire that reflects his cultural heritage. Wearing a magnificent cloak and an intricately crafted necklace, the chief exudes authority and prestige. His face tattoos, known as Te moko, tell stories of his lineage and achievements within his tribe. With a feather adorning his hair and a spear held firmly in hand, he embodies the strength and warrior spirit of his people. The portrait was adapted from an original work by Louis Auguste de Sainson during Dumont d'Urville's voyage to New Zealand. Handcoloured with meticulous detail by Auguste Wahlens, this woodcut engraving captures not only the physical features but also the essence of Maori culture. Published in 1845 as part of "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" (Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World), this image offers us a glimpse into the rich diversity of humanity across continents. Through this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and significance of Maori traditions. It serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and reminds us to appreciate and respect indigenous cultures worldwide.
