EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portraits, c. 1880" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of New Zealand. Taken by Foy Brothers Studio during their active years between 1872 and 1902, this albumen print measures 9x5.6 cm and is now part of a private collection owned by eMichael Graham-Stewart. The image features two individuals adorned in traditional costumes that reflect their indigenous roots. The female subject proudly displays tribal markings on her face while wearing an exquisite tag cloak and huia feathers adorning her hair. Her male counterpart showcases intricate facial tattooing known as moko, symbolizing his Maori identity. Both figures exude a sense of pride and resilience through their attire, which includes korowai (traditional dress) worn by the woman. This carte de visite captures the essence of native New Zealanders during the late 19th century when preserving cultural traditions was paramount. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history for us to appreciate today. As we gaze upon this evocative portrait, we are reminded of the significance of indigenous cultures worldwide and how they contribute to our collective human tapestry.
