Reference: A-315-3-008
Description: Wiremu Kingi Tarapipi Te Waharoa is standing, after addressing a group of his fellow Maori who are seated at his feet within the palisades of a pa. To the right, in the background, a ship is standing at sea while troops are marched towards it, overseen by Brigadier-General Carey on horseback. A group of volunteer Pakeha troops are marching up from the middle distance on the right. The suggestion is that the volunteers and rangers will be a far more formidable force than the Queen's troops who had not been used effectively. The drawing is possibly the work of G. F. von Tempsky. The seated woman in the centre is strongly reminiscent of his work, and he is known to have drawn illustrations for 'Punch, or the Wellington Charivari' in the mid-1860s. The reference to the Forest Rangers (led by von Tempsky) also suggests a connection with him. See also PUBL-0078-44. Extended Title - Wiremu Thompson - The General is in disgrace, you say, and the Queen's troops are to be sent away, and the volunteers and rangers are coming against us. Then, Kingi, the sooner we surrender the better. Quantity: 1 cartoon bromide(s). Physical Description: A5 size bromide.

By: Tempsky, Gustavus Ferdinand von, 1828-1868
Reference: PUBL-0078-44
Description: The cartoon shows Wiremu Kingi Tarapipi Te Waharoa (Wiremu Thompson after baptism) saying to a Maori chief that 'The general (Carey) is in disgrace you say, and the queen's troops are to be sent away, and the volunteers and rangers are coming against us. Then, Kingi, (Wi Kingi te Rangitake?) the sooner we surrender the better'. To the right in the background is a ship at sea and troops are marching towards it, overseen by Brigadier-General Carey on horseback. A group of volunteer Pakeha troops are marching up from the middle distance on the right. The Cartoon shows the moment when Wiremu Tamehana decides that the Maori must surrender. In 1860 Wiremu Thompson travelled to Taranaki in the roles of negotiator and mediator between Maori and Pakeha. Later, when war broke out in the Waikato, he again acted as peacemaker, but his attempts were not completely appreciated by Pakeha leaders of the time. The drawing is possibly the work of G. F. von Tempsky. The seated woman in the centre is strongly reminiscent of his work, and he is known to have drawn illustrations for 'Punch, or the Wellington Charivari' in the mid-1860s. The reference to the Forest Rangers (led by von Tempsky) also suggests a connection with him. Extended Title - From: Punch in Canterbury. 17 June 1865, p. 44. Quantity: 1 b&w art print(s).
