EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history, showcasing the New Zealand Mounted Rifles dressed in their Maori uniforms and traditional native costumes. Taken by an English photographer during the late 19th century, this silver gelatin print measures 7.8x15.8 cm and is now part of a private collection. The image depicts representatives from New Zealand who traveled to London for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. These brave soldiers proudly display their indigenous heritage through their attire, highlighting the rich cultural diversity of New Zealand. Each detail within the frame tells a story: from the intricate designs on their garments to the stoic expressions on their faces. The photographer, HNK, skillfully captures both strength and pride emanating from these men as they stand tall in unity. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and bravery of these soldiers who fought for their country while honoring their Maori roots. It stands as a reminder that even amidst war and conflict, culture remains an integral part of one's identity. Preserved over time, this historic snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten – where tradition meets modernity on foreign soil.
