Description: Shows the interior of a Maori home, with the father trying to wash his screaming child in a pan on the floor. The mother smokes a pipe and reading the gossip column of the paper in a deckchair, toasting her feet on the stove though her elegant boots are on the floor nearby. Another son makes himself smart in the back room, struggling with his tie. The family all have European clothes and live in a European house, but through the back door is a whare and pigs root in the back yard while a dog sits in the doorway. Context: The cartoon is an illustration of a popular view of Maori by European immigrants of the time who regarded themselves as rather more sophisticated, perhaps 'civilised'. The cartoon reflects an attitude of mockery at Maori attempts to imitate Pakeha behaviour. Quantity: 1 b&w photo-mechanical print(s) on postcard in album..
