Lithographic View of the Wangari Cape with a Maori Canoe (New Zealand) - 1836

About the Item

View of the Wangari Cape with a Maori Canoe (New Zealand) This detailed engraving illustrates a traditional Maori waka (canoe) gliding across the waters near Cape Wangari, New Zealand. The canoe is skillfully carved and manned by a group of rowers, with majestic mountain peaks forming the dramatic backdrop. In the distance, European ships sail, signifying the meeting of two cultures during the age of exploration. This piece captures the contrast between the traditional Maori maritime culture and the European navigators of the 19th century, emphasizing the vibrancy and craftsmanship of indigenous seafaring traditions. Condition Report: Good condition. Minor foxing along the margins, no image impact. Crisp engraving with strong details. Some toning due to age and handling over the last 200 years. Keywords: Wangari Cape, Maori canoe, waka, New Zealand, maritime art, Maori culture, Dumont d'Urville, indigenous seafaring, 19th-century exploration, cultural encounter.
