Te Ariki - Lake Tarawera, c. 1885 - A Glimpse into the Serenity of Maori Village Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph transports us back to the late 19th century, capturing a serene moment in Te Ariki, a Maori village nestled on the shores of Lake Tarawera in New Zealand. The image, taken by Burton Brothers Studio, showcases their mastery of albumen print technique. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a harmonious scene where indigenous New Zealanders – men, women, and children – find respite amidst the stunning natural beauty that surrounds them. The towering presence of Mount Tarawera looms majestically in the background as if silently protecting this tranquil haven. The composition draws our attention to a group of Maoris resting near the lake's edge. Their relaxed postures suggest they have just disembarked from a two-hour boat trip from Te Wairoa. Children playfully engage with one another while adults engage in conversation or simply bask in the peaceful ambiance. Through this evocative photograph, we gain insight into daily life within an indigenous community at that time. It serves as both a historical record and an artistic testament to the enduring spirit and resilience of these native New Zealanders. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images' eMichael Graham-Stewart collection today, it reminds us to appreciate not only nature's grandeur but also the cultural heritage embedded within landscapes
