About this object
A hand coloured photograph of an unidentified man standing in front of Māori carvings outside the Spa Hotel in Taupo. Part of an album of coloured scenery images.
A description of the scene has been pasted onto the album page. It reads: Not quite so beautiful. The husband of the young lady on the opposite page also admires the fine craftsmanship of the native race. However, the man's presence fails to add the touch of charming beauty to the pictures that the feminine presence imparts.
Photographer, unknown.
Date, 1930s.
