EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of the Maori people as depicted in this vintage 19th century photograph album. This collection of composite images offers a unique window into the early ethnographic record of New Zealand's indigenous people. The Maori, New Zealand's largest ethnic group, have a proud and complex history that spans over 800 years. They are the descendants of the Polynesian explorers who arrived in New Zealand around 1250 AD. This album, filled with images from the 1870s to the early 1900s, captures the essence of Maori life during this period. The composite nature of these photographs, which combine multiple individual portraits into a single image, is a testament to the importance placed on community and tribal identity within Maori culture. Each portrait showcases the distinctive facial tattoos, or "ta moko," that were a mark of status and genealogy. The intricate designs were carved into the skin using a chisel-like tool and were a symbol of one's personal history and tribal affiliations. The Maori people were known for their exceptional craftsmanship, particularly in the areas of woodcarving, weaving, and tattooing. Their traditional clothing, which included intricately woven garments and feathered headdresses, is also showcased in these images. This album offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the customs, traditions, and daily life of the Maori people during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a testament to the resilience and richness of Maori culture, which continues to thrive and evolve to this day.
