EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait, Tauranga, c. 1930" transports us back in time to the indigenous Maori culture of New Zealand. The image showcases a female native New Zealander adorned with striking tribal markings and a traditional facial tattoo known as moko. The subject's intense gaze holds our attention as we are drawn into her world. Her eyes reflect strength, wisdom, and resilience that seem to have been shaped by a lifetime of experiences. A stylish hat sits atop her head, adding an intriguing contrast between tradition and modernity. Photographer Eunice Harriett Garlick, also known as Una, skillfully captures the essence of this Maori woman's identity through her lens. The silver gelatin print technique used adds depth and texture to the image while preserving its timeless quality. This intimate portrait serves as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Maori people. It invites us to appreciate their unique art forms such as facial tattooing (moko) which hold deep spiritual significance within their community. As we observe this remarkable photograph from decades past, we are reminded of the importance of honoring indigenous cultures and celebrating their contributions to our global society.
