Description: A cartoon showing a Maori man about to tuck into an enormous plum pudding with a large plate of meat to one side, in the "before" view; and looking very well-fed and fat with many empty plates on the table in the "after" view. He is seated in a room with leadlight windows. The room with leadlight windows may be the Melanesian Mission building at Kohimarama (Mission Bay) where Governor Gore Browne convened a Maori Conference in 1860. Another possibility is that the conference is one of the series of conferences at Orakei in 1879, 1880 and 1881, to discuss and ratify the terms of the Treaty of Waitangi, 1840. The latter conferences were held in a building constructed by Paora Tuhaere, probably lacking leadlight windows. The image implies that the Conference was simply an excuse for gluttony.

Description: Group seated in front of the carved meeting house, Te Whatu o Tamainupo, 'Marae-o-Hine' [Te Marae o Hinekakea], at Riverhead, Auckland Region. The group includes four Maori women, one is holding a baby, and another, an older woman, is wearing a feather cloak; also four men, one is a European, and one of the Maori is wearing a feather cloak. In front of the two Maori wearing cloaks are two small children - a Maori boy and a European girl. Photograph taken by William A Price on 25 May 1909. Some of the group have been identified by ethnologist David Simmons as being: Mita Taupopoki (second from left), Mrs Graham (woman in cloak) for whom the house was built and also known as Taupiri Harongo, H J Hall (European man) son of Jean Lafitte of France and also known as Te Wharepurakau, Ripeka Tipuna (holding baby, a whangai from Hawai'i), and Pene Taui (far right). An alternative suggestion for the identities of some of the group has been provided Raewyn Graham, great granddaughter of Takurangi Hapi and George S Graham: the man standing on the left between the two women is Te Pataka Rangira Hapi, father-in-law of George Samuel Graham, who is standing in front of the door. Mr. Graham’s wife, Mrs Mary Magdalene Graham aka Takurangi Kahupeka Hapi, is the woman sitting holding their baby boy, Henare (Henry) Tuarangi Graham. Haki Hohaia is the man sitting wearing the white korowai/cloak, Mrs. Graham’s grandfather on her mother’s side. The little boy in front of Haki Hohaia is James Montrose Graham, oldest son of Mr and Mrs Graham. Information about the name of this marae was given to the Library by a member of the public, so this record was updated accordingly in October 2016.
