“This is the first serious study by an artist of the characterstics of Maori Art, as revealed in carved objects, tattooed ornament, painted decoration, and textile designs.It is gratifying to learn that the artist of this isolated, and if you like, savage race, have thus established a kinship which the most civilized peoples should be proud to own. This opinion is expressed after a detailed examination of typical examples, which the author has reproduced for the elucidation of the text.”
