Reference: A-229-033/034

Description: Left-hand view (A-229-034) "Running in bull ..." shows a Maori village with several people and a bull being pursued by a man on horseback. The view is intersected diagonally by a stream, with a small canoe being poled along it. Trees and hills in the background. Right-hand view (A-229-033) "Bull of Ngatimaniopoto" shows a bull, tethered by the neck and nose and standing in a river, being hauled by teams of Maori men and driven from behind by others standing in the river with sticks. Tall trees in the background. The sheet was once folded in half The name Tapuia Kumera (or Kumara) not found in gazetteers. However J. C. Crawford in his "Recollections of travels in New Zealand ... " (London, 1880) describes this scene and locates "Topini's village of Tapuia Kumera, situated on a river flat of the Whanganui [River] about two and a half miles above its junction with Ongarue" , i.e. close to the site of Taumarunui. The bull shown is being led by Ngati Maniapoto men on a trading expedition from Tapuia Kumera to their own area. The bull was distressed after Samuel Deighton had cut a hole for a nose-ring the previous day and objected to being removed. Bull of Ngatimaniopoto (A-229-033) was used as the basis for an engraving illustrating J. C. Crawford's "Recollections of Travel in New Zealand and Australia", with the same title, opp. p. 158. The men attempting to budge the bull look rather more tentative and nervous in the drawing than in the related engraving. Other Titles - Ngati Maniapoto Quantity: 2 drawing(s). Physical Description: Pencil & ink on paper 176 x 260 mm (2 drawings on one folded sheet)
