About this object
A photograph of the Coronation Celebration for Edward VII (crowned 9 August 1902).
The image depicts a large crowd gathered near the band rotunda on Marine Parade and along the street. The spectators are observing an exhibition by a group of Māori men in a waka taua, or war canoe. The men are dressed in short sleeved white shirts and piupiu with trousers underneath. At the head of the boat a woman is seated.
At the left of the image the edge of the decorated Band Rotunda is visible. Presumably the Masonic Hotel is at the rear of the camera.
Photographer, unknown.
Date, 1902.
