- Description
The Wallace family on the verandah of their house. A Maori pattern has been carved into a panel which runs along the front of the verandah.
Also includes one of the granddaughter's of the whaler James Reed and Kahumahinga of Ngati Toa, the daughter of Sarah Reed and Spencer Von Strumer. Kahumahinga was the daughter of Paretona, a sister Werawera, who was the grandfather of Te Rauparaha. To the Maori mind they were very closely related.
Date based on what can be seen of the women's clothing and hair style. On assment of this it is unlikely that his photograph is earlier that 1891, or later than 1897.
This was Tamihana Te Rauparaha's former house. It was situated in what is now Matene Street in Otaki township but burnt down during the 1920s.
Quantity: 1 b&w original photographic print(s).
