ESSAY The following excerpts are from Philip Jones’ recent publication illustrating the Antipodes: George French Angas in Australia and New Zealand 1844 – 1845, National Library of Australia, Canberra in association with the South Australian Museum, Adelaide, 2021. According to Angas’s published account [of four months in New Zealand], the party setting out for the Waikato River comprised himself and [Thomas] Forsaith [Protector of Aborigines], with ‘five native boys’, a standard ratio for a mid-nineteenth-century colonial expedition through an unmapped landscape. The party set out for the south [from Auckland] on the morning of 26 September [1844]. … [a] destination was the Church Missionary Society mission at Pepepe, close to the sacred mountain of Taupiri where the Tu Kaitote pa stood, one of two main pa maintained by the paramount rangatira of the Waikato, Te Wherowhero. He and his followers were at Whatawhata on the Waipa River; George French would meet the rangatira there some days later. In the meantime, he was free to sketch a detailed view of the pa with the Taupiri mountain behind. The mission had been established by Edward Ashworth of the Church Missionary Society only a year or two earlier. It was as picturesque as any subject for Angas: ‘At a bend of the river, the romantic cottage of the missionary suddenly appeared in view.  It was as lovely and secluded a spot as it is possible to imagine: the little cottage built of   raupo, with its white chimneys. And its garden full of flowers – of sweet English flowers, roses, stocks and mignonette – was snugly perched on an elevated plateau overhanging the Waikato: and the access to it was by a small bridge thrown across a glen of fern trees, with a stream murmuring below.’1 1.

            Est: $300 - $600

            This folio, originally hand-colored lithograph is from George French Angas's The New Zealanders Illustrated. The work was published in London by Thomas McLean in 1847. This is the first edition of a fascination work on the Maoris. Angas was a skilled ethonographic illustrator. He joined several of Sir George Grey's expeditions beginning in 1843. There he made watercolor sketches of the scenery, aborigines, and natural history of South Australia. Once reaching New Zealand, Angas travelled over 800 mile by foot in wild regions. His published work on these subjects is considered a cornerstone of color-plate travel literature. Angas noted in the preface that "by seeking out nearly every tribe of natives, and living amongst them for some time... I have succeeded in obtaining portraits of the most important Chiefs", with the aim of recording their habits, costumes and works of art "so rapidly disappearing before the progress of Christianity and Civilization".
