He undertook a three-and-a-half year journey around the North Island of New Zealand during the 1970's, looking for the last remaining Kuia (Maori women) with such decorations. Une superbe collection de 34 portraits couleur pleine page, chacun avec une brève biographie du sujet sur la page opposée. Les pages de garde présentent des dessins détaillés de chaque tatouage complexe. Edition originale sous jaquette déclipsée. 96 pages. 335 x 245 mm (13¼ x 9¾ pouces). La jaquette et le livre sont tous deux en très bon état. Le couvercle de protection en plastique amovible transparent avait malheureusement été fixé par du ruban adhésif, au fil du temps, une partie des résidus s'est transférée sur les pages de garde (ceci est montré sur les photographies).
    Le portraitiste Harry Sangl a créé ces œuvres d'art après avoir vu une femme maorie centenaire avec un moko (tatouage du menton et des lèvres). Il a entrepris un voyage de trois ans et demi autour de l'île du Nord de la Nouvelle-Zélande dans les années 1970, à la recherche des dernières Kuia (femmes maories) avec de telles décorations.

Inside, the plates are in good, clean condition, with a touch of darkening to the edges. The odd spot to them only. The text pages and title are darkened and have a few slight nicks and closed tears to the edges. As noted, the second page of the plate listing is lacking. Overall a decent copy of this work.
