Published as a pair with 'Adic Hator' (A-092-009) The attribution to Ngati Maru as "Feedee's" iwi is derived both from the area he is described as inhabiting - "Howdrucke" or Hauraki - and by comparison with the matching lithograph "Adic Hator" (A-092-009), described as being of the "Nar-te-mar-lu Tribe". "Feedee" may more correctly be "Whiti" or "Te Whiti". The copy of this print in the Rex Nan Kivell Collection bears the inscription in pencil: "J.B. April 28 1828", while one of the Turnbull's copies of "Adic Hator" bears an ink inscription: "Adic Hator age 23 1829 New Zealand October 1st".
