Description: Shows a Marquesan man and woman on the left and four Maori in a canoe on the right. The scene is drawn so that the Maori appear to be paddling away from the bank on which the Marquesan couple is located. The standing Marquesan woman wears a skirt and has a fully tattooed back. The reclining man wears a feathered headdress, a cloak over his shoulders and appears to be fully tattooed. The Maori canoe has a carved stern post. Two men are standing in the stern, while two rowers are paddling the canoe. Both standing men wear long cloaks, and one holds a taiaha, its point to the ground Published in Paris 19 June 1858. Recorded in the journal La Bibliotheque de la France (1811-1881), signifying a work's authorisation for distribution in France and conformity to the law of legal deposit. Also published in Paris in 1858 as a plate opposite p [48] in a book Le monde en estampes ... Lithographies par J Boquin d'apres les dessins de MM. Leloir et Fossey. Texte par Elisabeth Mueller. Paris, Amedee Bedelet, 20 rue des Grands-Augustins, [1858]. The plate was described in the index to the book as well as in the heading above the plate as representing Polynesie [Polynesia] under a broader heading of Oceanie [Oceania]. It is the only lithograph in the book showing Polynesians. There is an additional wood engraving of the end and shoulders of a Maori man on the final page Source of images: the two standing Maori men and the canoe appear to be derived from images in Voyage pittoresque autour du monde (Paris, 1834-5).
