Indigenous Dwellings from New Holland and New Zealand Engraved in 1836

About the Item

Title: Indigenous Dwellings from New Holland and New Zealand Description: This engraving presents a fascinating comparative study of indigenous dwellings from two regions: New Holland (modern-day Australia) and New Zealand. The top two illustrations depict the huts of the Jervis Bay and King George Sound regions in New Holland. These structures reflect a minimalist and functional design, using natural materials like bark and leaves, offering insight into the lifestyle and adaptation to the environment. The bottom two illustrations showcase huts from the Strom-Bucht and Astrolabe-Bucht regions in New Zealand. These dwellings demonstrate the Maori's distinctive architectural style, featuring semi-circular shapes and more robust construction, incorporating thatching and timber frameworks. The engraving captures the essence of early Pacific habitation and its relationship with the surrounding natural landscape. Condition Report: Good impression with sharp details. Minor foxing in margins and light handling wear. The sheet is otherwise in very good condition. Keywords: indigenous dwellings, New Holland, New Zealand, Maori architecture, Jervis Bay, King George Sound, Strom-Bucht, Astrolabe-Bucht, 19th-century engraving, cultural history, vernacular architecture.
