About the Item
Title: Portraits of Indigenous People of New Zealand
Description: This compiled image features detailed lithographic portraits of Indigenous Maori people from New Zealand, created during Dumont d'Urville's expedition aboard the Astrolabe. The portraits highlight traditional Maori clothing, hairstyles, and intricate facial tattoos (moko), reflecting the cultural richness of the Maori people. Each subject is depicted with expressive detail, showcasing a variety of profiles and facial expressions that emphasize individuality and identity.
The first panel includes figures adorned with feathered cloaks and earrings, while the second panel portrays individuals with more elaborate facial tattoos and gestures, adding an element of interaction. The final row captures both men and women, emphasizing the diversity within the Maori community. These illustrations, created by Louis Auguste de Sainson and later reproduced in Brodtmann’s Entdeckungs, Reise der Franzosischen Corvette Astrolabe, are significant ethnographic records of early European encounters with Maori culture.
Condition Report: Light toning and minor foxing visible in the margins, consistent with the age of the lithographs. The image areas are clean and sharp, retaining excellent contrast and detail. Slight edge wear, but overall in very good condition.
