Artist unknown :Maori Conference ; before ; after. [1860 or ca 1880?]

Date: 1879 - 1860 - 1881

By: Forbes, David W, active 1950s-2000s

Reference: A-279-003

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. Inscriptions: Recto - above & below image: title Quantity: 1 drawing(s). Physical Description: Sepia ink on cream wove paper 121 x 193 mm Provenance: Purchased from a book dealer (Mr Wreden) in Palo Alto, California, by David Forbes, 1970s.
