Description: Māori woman in a tag cloak, and a pakeha woman, alongside a raupo whare at Karaka Bay, Wellington. The photograph was taken, circa 1885, by Henry Wright. The woman on the right is the photographer's eldest daughter, Amy Elizabeth Wright. "The Maori settlement at Karaka Bay, on the east side of the Miramar Peninsula, was long established when this photograph was taken. Wooden extensions and windows have been added to the traditional raupo construction. Other photographs of this settlement show extensive plantings of cabbages, which were probably sold in the Wellington markets. The lower edge of this print shows damage to the emulsion of the original negative." (Information taken from the caption used in "Darling, I'm home!" display).
