EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Shouting Their War-Cry, The British Charged The Breach" we are transported back to the early 20th century in New Zealand. Created by artist Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton, the image depicts a significant moment in history featuring Hone Wiremu Heke Pokai, a revered Maori Rangatira and war leader. Hone Heke was known for his relentless battles against British Colonial rule during the 19th century. In May 1845, his Pa (fortified village) came under attack by troops from various regiments commanded by William Hulme. However, despite facing formidable opposition, Heke's forces emerged victorious as the British were forced to retreat. The photograph captures the intensity of this pivotal battle with its vivid colors and dynamic composition. We see a group of brave soldiers charging forward fearlessly into combat, their weapons raised high. It is an awe-inspiring sight that encapsulates both the courage and determination displayed by those fighting for their land and freedom. This powerful image serves as a reminder of New Zealand's tumultuous colonial past and honors the resilience of its indigenous people in resisting foreign domination. Through Skelton's artistry, we are granted a glimpse into this historical event that shaped the nation's identity. As we reflect on this photograph print today, it prompts us to acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifices made by individuals like Hone Wiremu Heke Pokai who fought valiantly for justice and sovereignty amidst challenging circumstances.
