EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Maori Study, c. 1870" takes us back in time to the rich cultural heritage of New Zealand's indigenous people. The image showcases two young Maori girls dressed in traditional costumes, standing near a wooden fence. Their proud expressions and confident postures reflect their deep connection to their ancestral roots. The photographer, Herbert Deveril (1840-1911), or someone attributed to him, has masterfully captured the essence of these native New Zealanders. The albumen print technique used adds a timeless quality to the image, enhancing its historical significance. One cannot help but be drawn to the intricate details of their attire - from feathered headpieces to woven garments adorned with intricate patterns. These young girls proudly display their cultural identity through every stitch and accessory. It is important to note that this photograph was taken during a different era when societal norms differed greatly from today. While some may find it striking that the girls' bare breasts are visible in this image, we must remember that it represents an authentic portrayal of Maori tradition at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of the resilience and beauty found within indigenous cultures worldwide. This photograph serves as a powerful testament not only to Maori heritage but also as a celebration of diversity and cultural preservation for generations yet unborn.
