EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a pivotal moment in New Zealand's history - the Battle of Oheawi in 1845. Despite the heroism displayed by Phillpotts and his fellow fighters, the British forces were ultimately defeated in this significant conflict. The image transports us back to a time of intense struggle and bravery, as we witness the clash between two opposing sides fighting for control over land and power. The dramatic composition and detailed depiction of the battlefield convey the chaos and intensity of war, while also highlighting the individual acts of courage that defined this historic event. Through this photograph, we are reminded of the complex legacy of colonialism and conquest that has shaped New Zealand's past. The presence of both triumph and tragedy in this image serves as a powerful reminder of the high stakes involved in conflicts such as these, where lives are lost and destinies are forever altered. As we reflect on this momentous chapter in New Zealand's history, let us honor those who fought valiantly on both sides, while also acknowledging the enduring impact that events like these have had on shaping our world today.
