EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the powerful presence of Hori Kingi Te Anaua, the esteemed leader of the Ngati Ruaka Tribe in New Zealand during the mid-nineteenth century. The image showcases his striking features, including his prominent lamb chop sideburns and a meticulously designed ta moko (scarification) on his face. Hori Kingi Te Anaua was an influential figure within the Maori community, known for his leadership and commitment to preserving indigenous traditions. He played a significant role in discussions surrounding the Treaty of Waitangi at Kohimarama in 1860. The photograph, taken by G. W. Bishop, offers a glimpse into this historical moment when Maori leaders gathered to discuss their rights and future prospects. It is believed that this portrait may be part of a series capturing these important figures. Through this image, we are invited to appreciate not only Hori Kingi Te Anaua's physical appearance but also his cultural significance as a chief and guardian of tribal heritage. His dignified expression conveys strength and wisdom acquired through years of leadership. Displayed against a plain background, this photograph serves as both an artistic representation and documentation of an extraordinary individual who left an indelible mark on New Zealand history.
