A striking head and shoulder portrait of a Maori in New York wearing a Korowai or tag coat a white feather in his hair and lower chin Ta Moko or tattoo. It appears that this image is not recorded at the National Library of New Zealand. <br /> <br /> Charles Eisenmann was born in Germany and migrated to New York City around 1870 and opened his first photography studio six years’ later. He began specializing in theatrical and show business portraits and became acquainted with legendary showman and circus impresario P. T. Barnum whose human oddities or 'freaks' were a popular exhibit at his American Museum. The two came to an agreement where Mr. Eisenmann would photograph the unique performers so cards could handed out as promotion to the public.<br /> Mr. Eisenmann's images are noted for particularly being sharp clear and well-posed. adapted from Historiccamera dot com.<br /> <br /> It is unclear why Keewee was in NY but it was a common thread for tattooed individuals to pose for Eisenmann. Tattooing was banned by the NZ government in 1890 and it was not until 1962 that the ban was dropped. He is wearing a shirt tie and jacket underneath his cloak possibly something to do with missionary work. A beautifully constructed image in very good condition overall with slight oxidation around some edges of the verso and some light foxing in the background of the image. 4 1/8 x 2 1/4" The verso text- Chas.

A rare care-de-visite portrait of Tawhiao c. 1822-1894 the 2nd Maori King who ".left a legacy of religious principles from which his people would draw a future dream for Tainui: the rebirth of a self-sufficient economic base supported by the strength and stability of the people. Native trees and foods symbolise strength and self-sufficiency in his statement: 'I shall build my own house the ridge-pole will be of hinau and the supporting posts of mahoe and patate. Those who inhabit that house shall be raised on rengarenga and nurtured on kawariki.' During Tawhiao's exile Waikato people had reflected and focused on the powerful symbols of the King movement. The man and the vision became united and part of the traditions and knowledge of the people. The vision is recounted and passed on to later generations at tribal hui where it continues to be discussed and debated." - www.nzhistory.net.nz. unknown
