EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in New Zealand's history. In the image, we see three influential figures who played pivotal roles in shaping the nation during the late 19th century. The central figure is William Australia Graham, an esteemed surveyor, landowner, and former Mayor of Hamilton. His presence exudes authority and wisdom as he stands tall with a distinguished beard. Flanking him on either side are King Mahuta Tawhiao and Te Tahuna Heirangi. King Mahuta Tawhiao was the third Maori king, revered for his leadership and dedication to preserving Maori culture and rights. Te Tahuna Heirangi served as a councillor alongside these prominent individuals. Their collective presence symbolizes unity between indigenous communities and European settlers during this transformative period in New Zealand's history. Captured by photographer John Hanna in June 1898, this silver gelatin print showcases his skillful artistry in capturing not only their physical features but also their character and significance within society. Preserved within a private collection today, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the diverse voices that shaped New Zealand's past. It invites us to reflect upon our shared heritage while honoring those who paved the way for progress and understanding between cultures.
