Description: Digital print copy of an unused cover design for a book by A J Harrop. The front cover shows red masks of a tattooed Maori and a European soldier in a helmet, tied together with red ribbon, and superimposed on an image of a group of Maori dancing performing a "Hauhau ritual dance" (so titled on another version by the same artist, that eventually used for the book cover) around a flagpole flying three flags: one rectangular and two pennant-shaped. The left side of the large rectangular flag is coloured red. The spine design shows the European mask placed above the Maori mask. The original ink drawing of the version that was eventually used for the book cover is housed at A-164-023.
