Description: Display at the Wanganui Museum to show methods of traditional Maori tree felling, circa December, 1957. Photographer unidentified. The card in the foreground reads: "Ancient Maori methods of felling trees. Note: The old-time Maori must have spent much time in cutting down trees - a slow process when one considers the primitive tools he had to work with. Then the cutting off the head of the tree and lopping the branches was even a slower and more tedious job. Yet with these drawbacks the Maori succeeded in erecting strong palissades round his pa, in making handsome canoes, and in building fine houses." Published in the New Zealand Freelance, 6 December, 1957, page 20, with the caption: " `Bow-and arrow' method used by the ancient Maori to fell trees is on the right. At left is `pendulum' method. " Quantity: 1 b&w original photographic print(s). Physical Description: Silver gelatin print 200 x 138 mm
