Four albumen paper portrait photographs (cartes de visite, image sizes approximately 85 × 60 mm) of Maoris, offered as one lot

The photographs are on their original card mounts; the photographers are not identified, but the verso of one card carries the purple and gilt ticket 'From Harris's Fancy Goods Establishment ... Auckland'. The subjects are identified in two instances: Patomia, an elderly man; and Wiremu Tamihana (William Thompson, circa 1805-1866), a significant figure in New Zealand history, especially in the Maori King Movement. The photographs are undated, but probably 1870s; the condition is uniformly fine. [4 items].
