Description

The lower picture on the page shows a group of Maori paying respect to the body of a deceased person who lies in state in front of a whare, wearing a feather headdress. In the left foreground sits a Maori mother and infant, and a woman stands by the body, declaiming. Other figures sit and stand.

The print is similar to Robley's ink and watercolour work, "A tangi at Matapihi 1864", at A-080-016; a note on that watercolour says "reproduced in "Illustrated London news, 17 Feb 1866".

Quantity: 1 b&w art print(s).
