Maori head trafficking. Based on an earlier sketch by Major General H. G. Robley, this illustration taken from 'The Graphic' newspaper, circa 1930, depicts a group of Maori men attempting to sell preserved Maori heads to a European sailor on the deck of a ship. The heads, which were traded in exchange for weapons and ammunition, were prized as novelty curios in Europe for their elaborate 'ta moko' facial markings. New Zealand, circa 1825. New Zealand, New Zealand, Oceania.
