What a stunningly beautiful portrait. Not only the obvious beauty of the model herself, but also the very photography itself: Tones, expression, DOF... Ms Makereti must have been an impressing woman herself her eyes speak of an extremely intelligent person.

The cloak she wears is made of Kiwi Feathers. She was a highly thought of woman and was the author of 'The Old Maori" www.monumentalstories.gen.nz/bio_36.html

Interesting expression "a sanguinary battle", which today might mean 'healthy' or perhaps even good mannered, back then (in this context) probably meant 'violent and bloody'! A fascinating bit of history from the Sandwich Islands!
