EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the rugged beauty of New Zealand in the 1890s, specifically showcasing the Summit of Porter's Pass. The image is a snapshot of a bygone era, when photographers like Wheeler & Son in Christchurch and McKee & Gamble in Wellington were capturing the essence of this breathtaking landscape.
The misty mountains and rolling hills in the background create a sense of mystery and adventure, inviting viewers to imagine what it must have been like to traverse these challenging terrains over a century ago. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the grandeur of nature at its most untouched.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when New Zealand was still known as Dominion Aotearoa. The pioneers who explored these lands would have marveled at such sights, just as we do today through this beautifully preserved image.
This print serves as a reminder of the rich history and natural wonders that make New Zealand truly unique. It is a testament to the enduring beauty of this land and its ability to captivate us across generations.
