EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Pataka, Putiki, a remarkable storehouse in New Zealand dating back to around 1900. The image showcases the exquisite architecture and indigenous artistry that characterizes this elevated former food storehouse. Standing tall with its poupou panels carved in Tuhoe style adorning the side walls, this structure is a testament to Maori craftsmanship. The photographer, William Partington (1855-1940), skillfully captured every intricate detail of Pataka, Putiki in this silver gelatin print. The composition highlights the steps leading up to the entrance, emphasizing their significance as a pathway into Maori culture and history. As we gaze upon this photograph from our private collection, we are transported back in time to an era when these storehouses played a vital role in preserving food for native New Zealanders. The raised design not only protected valuable resources from flooding but also served as a symbol of respect for nature's power. Through Partington's lens, we can appreciate the beauty and cultural significance of Maori carvings showcased on Pataka, Putiki. This image serves as a visual reminder of the rich heritage and artistic traditions passed down through generations. With its timeless appeal and historical importance, this silver gelatin print stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into New Zealand's indigenous past.
