EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an exploration in the King Country of North Island, New Zealand. The print beautifully captures the rugged and untouched landscape that awaited adventurers during this time. The focal point of the image is Mount Tongariro, standing tall and majestic against a clear sky. Its volcanic nature is evident as pumice rocks dot its slopes, reminding us of its fiery past. A terrace formation can be seen in the foreground, leading our eyes towards a series of boiling springs. These natural wonders add an element of mystique to the scene, with steam rising from their depths. The exploration depicted here highlights both the beauty and challenges faced by those who ventured into this remote region. The ascent up Mount Tongariro would have been arduous but rewarding, offering breathtaking views along the way. The topography surrounding King Country is diverse and awe-inspiring. From lush forests to winding rivers like Upper Waikato River, every corner seems to hold secrets waiting to be discovered. This expedition likely marked just the beginning of many explorations yet to come in this untamed land. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back in time and reminded of humanity's innate desire for discovery and adventure. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our world.
