Description:
Charles Frederick Goldie, manuscript inscribed, signed and dated print, the portrait of Pani of the Ngatiawa Tribe. The sitter's head held in her hands and downcast eyes evoke a sense of sadness and contemplation. Goldie's portrayal of what he believed was a dying race. Inscribed - ' Thoughts' for R. Height Wardell, C.F. Goldie, May '37. 25 x 19 cm Cf. C.F. Goldie ' Prints, Drawings & Criticism' page 191. The original artwork of Pani entitled ' Memories, The Last of Her Tribe' . Colour prints are recorded as being made in 1943, '48 and '68 (the current example predates these evidently by the inscription, signature and date.) The author notes in the Introduction: ' Not all prints may be included ...' ' As well, some Goldie paintings and prints have been reproduced with insufficient information to allow identification of date and place of publication and details of publisher and/or printer.'
