EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Raihana Tukarawa and Paratene te Manu, c. 1863" captures a powerful moment in history. Taken by John Beattie, a renowned photographer of the 19th century, this albumen print measures 9.7x6 cm and is now part of a private collection. The image showcases Raihana Tukarawa and Paratene te Manu, two prominent New Zealand Chiefs who embarked on a mission to England in 1863. They were met at various houses by L. A. Pease as they arrived on May 18th of that year. Seated side by side, these indigenous Maori leaders exude strength and dignity through their stoic expressions. The portrait provides an intimate glimpse into their lives during this pivotal time in history. The use of the carte de visite format adds to the historical significance of this photograph. Cartes de visite were small photographic prints mounted on cards that gained popularity during the mid-19th century for their portability and affordability. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a time when cultural exchanges between nations were rare but significant events. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of Raihana Tukarawa and Paratene te Manu as they ventured far from home to forge connections with distant lands. This image stands not only as an artistic achievement but also as
