EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Takerei and Hapimana, c. 1863" captures a powerful moment in history. The image is an albumen print by John Beattie, taken during the late 19th century. It showcases two indigenous New Zealand Chiefs who embarked on a mission to England. The photo depicts Takerei and Hapimana seated side by side in European attire, their stoic expressions reflecting both pride and curiosity. This portrait was part of a series commissioned by L. A. Pease, documenting the visit of these esteemed Maori leaders to various houses in England. Measuring just 9.7x6 cm, this intimate snapshot offers a glimpse into the cultural exchange between indigenous peoples and colonial powers during that era. The composition highlights the dignity and strength of these Maori chiefs while also capturing their vulnerability as they navigate unfamiliar surroundings. Preserved within a private collection today, this rare piece serves as a testament to the historical significance of such encounters between different cultures. Through photography's lens, we are transported back to May 18th, 1863 when Takerei and Hapimana embarked on their journey across oceans to forge connections with distant lands. This mesmerizing albumen print not only documents an important chapter in New Zealand's history but also represents the power of visual storytelling as it immortalizes these remarkable individuals for generations to come.
