Victors in the Fight - A Glimpse into New Zealand's Colonial Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Victors in the Fight" offers a fascinating insight into the history of New Zealand during its colonial era. Created by Arthur David McCormick, this colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment in the Romance of Empire series by Reginald Horsley. The image transports us to an antipodean landscape where British imperialism and colonialism intersect with Maori culture. The scene depicts a group of Maori warriors led by their chief, standing tall as victors after a fierce battle. Their heads held high, they exude strength and resilience. Intriguingly, this artwork showcases both sides of the conflict; it portrays not only the triumph of these native fighters but also acknowledges their opponents' valiant efforts. It serves as a reminder that history is multifaceted and complex. Through this print, we witness how art can be used to explore historical narratives while shedding light on cultural encounters between indigenous peoples and colonizers. It invites contemplation about power dynamics within empires and raises questions about identity, heritage, and representation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are transported back in time to an important chapter in New Zealand's past—a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by those who fought for their land and culture amidst imperial expansion.
