EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, published in the September 28, 1838 issue of a popular Victorian-era magazine, showcases an intricately detailed map of Hokianga Harbour in New Zealand. The map, created in 1838, is a testament to the early exploration and discovery of this beautiful region. The scene in the foreground brings the history of this area to life, as it depicts a moment from the 1760s when Captain James Cook first made landfall in New Zealand. Cook's ship, the HMS Endeavour, is anchored in the harbor, while native Maori people, dressed in traditional garments, gather on the shore to greet the explorers. The reflection of the map in the mirror-like surface of the water adds an element of intrigue and depth to the image. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the early Victorian era, when the world was being explored and mapped with ever-increasing accuracy. The juxtaposition of the modern cartography and the traditional Maori culture highlights the rich tapestry of history that unfolded in this part of the world over 200 years ago.
