EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, "Hongis last 'word' to his people" transports us back in time to the era of colonialism and British imperialism in New Zealand. Created by Arthur David McCormick, this artwork is part of the Romance of Empire series, specifically representing New Zealand. In this evocative image, we witness a powerful moment as Hongi bids farewell to his fellow Maori people. The vibrant colors used in the lithograph bring life and energy to the scene, highlighting the significance of this historical event. Hongi's expression reflects determination and resilience as he imparts his final message before departing from his homeland. As a leader among the Maori community, Hongi's words carry immense weight and importance for both himself and his people. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the complex dynamics between colonizers and natives during that period. It captures not only Hongi's individual story but also symbolizes the larger struggle faced by indigenous communities across different parts of the world. Through McCormick's skillful artistry, we are transported into an important chapter in history where cultures clashed and empires expanded. This lithograph invites us to reflect on themes such as power dynamics, cultural identity, and resistance against colonization. As we gaze upon "Hongis last 'word' to his people" we are reminded of how art can serve as a window into our shared past while provoking contemplation about our present-day society.
