About the Item

Traditional Costumes of the Indigenous People, Cape Palliser and Cook Strait, New Zealand This detailed engraving depicts two groups of indigenous Māori from New Zealand in the early 19th century, showcasing their traditional attire and cultural expressions. The top image portrays Māori individuals from Cape Palliser adorned in flax garments, with a small group interacting in the background, set against a lush landscape of ferns and palm trees. The lower image features a group from Cook Strait, including individuals wrapped in finely woven cloaks. A mother carries her infant on her back, reflecting the social and familial structure of the community. The setting includes rugged terrain and tropical vegetation, emphasizing the harmony between the people and their environment. This print offers a glimpse into the lives of the Māori during the early European exploration period, highlighting their clothing, hairstyles, and cultural practices. It serves as both a valuable anthropological record and an artistic testament to the skill of the engraver. Condition Report This engraving is in very good condition for its age, circa 1836. The paper remains crisp and clean with no major tears or folds. The impression is sharp, with excellent detailing in the depiction of the figures and the surrounding landscapes. Minor foxing is visible, primarily in the margins, consistent with the age of the print. Slight age-toning is present along the edges, but it does not detract from the overall visual appeal. The plate marks are clear, and the text is legible. Suitable for framing and preservation. Keywords: Māori culture, traditional dress, New Zealand, Cape Palliser, Cook Strait, early 19th century, indigenous peoples, anthropological study, Pacific exploration, flax garments, cultural heritage, historical print.
