By: Tempsky, Gustavus Ferdinand von, 1828-1868

Reference: PUBL-0078-44

Description: The cartoon shows Wiremu Kingi Tarapipi Te Waharoa (Wiremu Thompson after baptism) saying to a Maori chief that 'The general (Carey) is in disgrace you say, and the queen's troops are to be sent away, and the volunteers and rangers are coming against us. Then, Kingi, (Wi Kingi te Rangitake?) the sooner we surrender the better'. To the right in the background is a ship at sea and troops are marching towards it, overseen by Brigadier-General Carey on horseback. A group of volunteer Pakeha troops are marching up from the middle distance on the right. The Cartoon shows the moment when Wiremu Tamehana decides that the Maori must surrender. In 1860 Wiremu Thompson travelled to Taranaki in the roles of negotiator and mediator between Maori and Pakeha. Later, when war broke out in the Waikato, he again acted as peacemaker, but his attempts were not completely appreciated by Pakeha leaders of the time. The drawing is possibly the work of G. F. von Tempsky. The seated woman in the centre is strongly reminiscent of his work, and he is known to have drawn illustrations for 'Punch, or the Wellington Charivari' in the mid-1860s. The reference to the Forest Rangers (led by von Tempsky) also suggests a connection with him. Extended Title - From: Punch in Canterbury. 17 June 1865, p. 44. Quantity: 1 b&w art print(s).

Description: Shows an Academy Award wearing a blindfold, with the words, 'Embargo, Best Picture withholding the truth' and 'There's a fraction too much fiction'. Refers to the film, Argo, directed by Hollywood actor Ben Affleck, which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2013. The film portrays the escape of six Americans in Iran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and misrepresents New Zealand's role in the rescue. According to the movie, the British and New Zealand Embassies turned their backs on the American diplomats, however in fact they helped them to escape Tehran. The New Zealand Parliament formally expressed its regret at the portrayal of New Zealand in the film, stating: 'That this House acknowledge[s] with gratitude the efforts of former New Zealand diplomats Chris Beeby and [second secretary] Richard Sewell in assisting American fugitives or hostages in Tehran during the hostage crisis in 1979 and expresses its regret that the director of the movie Argo saw fit to mislead the world about what actually happened during that crisis when in reality our courageous New Zealand diplomats' inspirational actions were of significant help to the American hostages and deserve the factual and historic record to be corrected.' Affleck has since admitted that the film casts Britain and New Zealand 'in a way that is not totally fair'. (New Zealand Herald, 12 March 2013) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
