EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Maori Chieftainess in 1923, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Aotearoa (New Zealand) and its indigenous people. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the beauty and strength of this chieftainess is undeniable. Dressed in traditional Maori costume, she stands proudly outside a rustic cabin, her bare feet grounded to the earth beneath her. Her long hair cascades down her back, adorned with decorative elements that reflect her status and identity within her community. The intricate face paint on her visage adds an air of mystique and symbolism to her presence. The chieftainess dons a cloak made from fur, displaying both warmth and elegance as it drapes over her shoulders. Her clothing showcases vibrant colors that speak volumes about the artistic traditions deeply ingrained in Maori culture. As we gaze upon this portrait frozen in time, we are transported to an era where tradition meets modernity. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and pride of Maori women who have played pivotal roles within their communities throughout history. With every detail captured by H. Clive Barnard's lens for "Australia, New Zealand and Oceania in Pictures" we are granted a glimpse into a world steeped in tradition yet ever-evolving. This print is not just an image; it is a window into the soulful spirit of Aotearoa's indigenous people
