About The art of Maori tattoo has always been regarded with fascination, but surprisingly this is the first comprehensive book on the subject this century. The Author, formerly enthologist with the Auckland Museum, provides a detailed but readable examination of Maori moko in all its aspects-its historical development, tribal variations, design principles and social significance. In this lavishly illustrated study of male and female moko, the author draws on the records, journals and sketches of early European observers in New Zealand-explorers such as Cook, de Surville and du Fresne and later traders and missionaries. He relies, too, on visual sources, including the work of artists such as Earle, angas, Robley, Lindauer and Goldie, to document the increasing standardization, and eventual decline and disappearance of male moko in the nineteenth century. Deeply researched, clearly written and profusely illustrated in both color and black and white, Ta Moko is an understanding work of Maori scholarship.
