EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts A Hoodee o Gunna, the esteemed chief of Ranghee Hoo, or Rangihoua, in New Zealand. The Maori leader, believed to be Turi-a-kuna, or Tooree Oganna, is shown with his distinctive facial tattoos, a mark of his high rank and tribal affiliation. The image was created by renowned English naturalist and artist, John Lewin, and expertly engraved by M. Griffith. This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving was originally published in "The Animal Kingdom" by the esteemed French zoologist, Baron Georges Cuvier, in London by Whittaker in 1824. A Hoodee o Gunna's powerful presence and intricate tattoos serve as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Maori people and the historical significance of this time in New Zealand's history. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving process highlights the artistic mastery of Lewin and Griffith, making this a truly remarkable and valuable piece of historical documentation.
