EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "F. 2 The Inside of a Hippah, in New Zeeland" takes us back to the late 18th century and offers a glimpse into the indigenous Maori culture during Captain James Cook's third voyage. Painted by John Webber, this artwork showcases an enchanting landscape with a mountainous backdrop and a breathtaking view of the sea. Within this picturesque setting, we witness a Maori settlement known as a hippah. The village is composed of traditional reed houses that blend harmoniously with nature. Figures dressed in robes made from animal skins can be seen engaging in daily activities, providing us with insight into their way of life. The image captures the essence of exploration and discovery as Cook's expedition encounters these Polynesian people for the first time. The steep cliffs surrounding the hippah add an element of drama to the scene, emphasizing both its isolation and natural beauty. This remarkable piece not only serves as a historical record but also celebrates the rich cultural heritage of New Zealand's indigenous population. It reminds us of our connection to past civilizations and invites contemplation on how societies have evolved over time. Displayed at Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this print allows viewers to immerse themselves in an era long gone while appreciating John Webber's artistic talent and his ability to capture such intricate details within his work.
