EDITORS COMMENTS
This albumen print captures the aftermath of the devastating eruption of Mt. Tarawera in July 1886. The photograph, taken by Frederick Muir for Burton Brothers Studio, showcases the sheer power and destruction unleashed upon Te Ariki. The once serene landscape has been transformed into a haunting scene of desolation. The mighty volcano's fury is evident as it looms over the now submerged village, buried under an astonishing 15 meters of mud. The magnitude of this natural disaster is truly awe-inspiring. Despite the tragedy depicted in this image, there is also a sense of resilience and beauty that emerges from the chaos. The contrast between the darkened mountain and its surroundings creates a striking visual effect. In addition, the presence of a nearby lake adds an element of tranquility amidst the devastation. This albumen print serves as both a historical record and a testament to nature's raw power. It allows us to reflect on our own vulnerability in relation to these extraordinary natural phenomena while appreciating their inherent beauty. Now part of a private collection, this remarkable photograph continues to captivate viewers with its ability to transport them back in time and evoke emotions ranging from awe to contemplation.
