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.
