SCARCE NEW ZEALAND MAORI 19TH CENTURY ALBUMEN PHOTOGRAPH MOUNTED TO CARD.
THE MEETING HOUSE /TRIBE NEEDS RESEARCH AS THE HOUSE IS NOT IDENTIFIED :
There appears to be some writing to the bottom right side of the photo but I can not decipher.
It shows an elderly Maori couple to the left with a Man standing to centre by window, a dog is to the front as well.
The carvings are quite clear so would be able to be link the house ,is this perhaps a Wanganui river Whare.?
The photo with the card mount measures 228mm x 168mm approx.
Some edges and corner wear/ some age and some fade.
