EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Maori Character Study, c. 1927" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of New Zealand's indigenous people. The silver gelatin print, measuring 10x7.3 cm, showcases the incredible talent of photographer Eunice Harriett Garlick, also known as Una. In this intimate portrait, a Maori woman proudly displays her tribal markings and facial tattooing known as moko. Her face tells a story of resilience and strength passed down through generations. With her piercing gaze and smoking pipe in hand, she exudes an air of wisdom and authority. The intricate details of her tattoos are beautifully captured by Garlick's skilled lens. Each line represents a connection to her ancestors and serves as a visual testament to the importance of identity within Maori culture. As we admire this powerful image, we are reminded of the significance that photography holds in preserving history and honoring diverse cultures around the world. This particular photograph is part of a private collection but has been made accessible for all to appreciate thanks to Michael Graham-Stewart. Through this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are invited to explore not only the artistry behind photography but also gain insight into the lives and traditions of indigenous communities like the Maori people.
