EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Mitre Peak, a true gem of 19th-century New Zealand. Taken from The Colonial Portfolio by The Werner Company in London, this photograph transports us back in time to an era when travel and transportation were vastly different from what we know today. The image captures the exterior beauty of Mitre Peak against the backdrop of Milford Sound's breathtaking fjords. As boats gracefully glide through the calm waters, it is evident that water transport played a significant role in exploring this picturesque landscape during that century. Mitre Peak stands tall and proud, its rugged silhouette dominating the landscape. This natural landmark has long been a magnet for tourists seeking adventure and awe-inspiring sights. Its name derives from its resemblance to a bishop's mitre, adding an intriguing metaphorical layer to its already impressive presence. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded not only of New Zealand's geographical features but also of colonialism's influence on exploration and tourism during that time period. The print collector has skillfully captured both the allure of nature and the impact of human intervention on these lands. With Piopiotahi (the Maori name for Milford Sound) as our location guide, let us immerse ourselves in this stunning 19th-century scene – a testament to the timeless beauty found within New Zealand's landscapes.
