EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the striking portraits of Te Kewiti, son of Te Kauwain, a young chief of the Maori Ngate Watnas tribe in New Zealand, and a tattooed Maori individual. Drawn in London by Agasse and handcolored by Lizars, these engravings offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and unique traditions of the Maori people.
The intricate facial tattoos worn by the Maori subject are not just decorative but hold deep symbolic meanings within their culture. Each design tells a story of identity, lineage, and personal achievements, making them an integral part of Maori identity.
Charles Hamilton Smith's illustrations from his Natural History of the Human Species beautifully capture the essence and beauty of these indigenous peoples. The detailed engravings bring to life the features and expressions of both subjects with remarkable precision.
As we gaze upon these portraits from centuries past, we are reminded of the resilience and pride of indigenous communities around the world. Through art and documentation like this engraving, we can honor their legacy and celebrate their contributions to our shared human history.
