Bound in semi-flexible hardboards of marbled paper with black buckram spine and corners. Patterned pastedowns/FEPs with a small repeat design typical of papers from the turn of the 20th century. Good Plus condition overall with photos generally in Very Good condition. 1 lb. 1 oz. weight. Undated photographs probably circa 1900-1920 possibly earlier. Photo captions as follows: "Mairie" the Arawa beauty; a Whakarewarewa beauty; a tribal belle; "poi" dancer Whakarewarewa; Maori girls; Onehe ra! departed days; Kapai te torori; a pretty Maori; Maori woman weaving taniko; Maori woman twisting flax; Te hongi rubbing noses; Maori women; and in reduced format Te hongi rubbing noses. When viewed under magnification the elderly women pictured have chin moko i.e. tattoos. The girls and young women do not. Early photographs of the women of Whakarewarewa including those who acted as tour guides are known to have been taken no later than the 1880s and probably earlier. European missionaries and traders arrived in Rotorua in the 1830s and soon local Maori began to turn the inquisitiveness of the visitors to advantage by showing them the geothermal environment. Persons acting as paid guides were deemed essential. Traditionally it was the women of Tuhourangi and of Ngati Wahiao who acted as guides at Whakarewarewa. Maori women rather than men were more appealing to tourists. Guiding was also compatible with the traditional puhi and kaitiaki role of Maori women. They grasped the opportunity to sustain themselves and their families by doing work they enjoyed. Unfortunately Whakarewarewa The Living Maori Village purporting to offer Maori cultural dance performances and traditional feasts has become a sort of Disneyland experience for tourists. <br/> <br/> hardcover
