EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Runanga House - Wairoa - After Eruption Jun 10.86, July 1886" transports us back to a significant moment in New Zealand's history. Taken by Frederick Muir for the renowned Burton Brothers Studio, this albumen print captures the aftermath of Mount Tarawera's eruption on June 10th, 1886. The image showcases Runanga House, a beautifully carved wooden structure known as Hinemihi. Built in March 1881 and now under the care of the National Trust, it stands resilient amidst the devastation caused by nature's fury. The intricate teketeko carvings adorning its exterior pay homage to Maori culture and traditions. The landscape surrounding Runanga House is both hauntingly beautiful and awe-inspiring. The natural phenomenon of Mount Tarawera's eruption has left its mark on the land, transforming it into an otherworldly scene that evokes a sense of wonder. Through this photograph, we are reminded of the power and resilience inherent in both architecture and nature. It serves as a testament to human craftsmanship while also highlighting our vulnerability to Mother Nature's unpredictable forces. Preserved within this private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' platform, this historic image allows us to reflect upon New Zealand's rich cultural heritage and serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with the natural world around us.
