The image depicts a large group of men, most likely Maori people, seated on the banks of a river beneath a tree. The photograph appears to be black and white with an antique feel, suggesting it may have been taken several decades ago.
In this scene, various individuals are sitting casually in groups or pairs; some lean against each other for support while others sit upright. They display relaxed postures, many resting their legs on the ground or crossed at the ankles. Their clothing is simple and suited to a warm climate: sleeveless shirts, tank tops, shorts, and sandals.
Among them, several individuals are engaged in smoking cigarettes, indicated by visible smoke trails and hand positions holding lit cigarettes. The atmosphere seems informal as they engage with one another through conversation or shared activities.
In the background, there is an expansive landscape that includes a dry field extending to meet hills on the horizon under a hazy sky suggesting either dawn or dusk lighting conditions. On the tree branches above them hangs multiple bundles of eels, which could be indicative of their cultural practices and means of livelihood connected with fishing or trade.
Overall, this image captures a moment in time where these individuals are taking respite from activities to socialize together under natural surroundings that reflect simplicity and close-knit community life.

The black and white photograph captures a group of individuals in what appears to be an outdoor urban setting, likely during the late 1960s or early '70s based on their attire. In focus are four men with serious expressions standing side by side; they seem contemplative or concerned as if awaiting something significant.

The man at center-left wears sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat, exuding an air of nonchalance or perhaps defiance, contrasting the more somber demeanor around him. His relaxed posture contrasts sharply with his companions' attentive stances. The two men to his right are dressed in dark clothing; one is wearing glasses and has a mustache while clutching something small between his fingers.

The background suggests an urban environment bustling with activity or possibly protest, as inferred from the individuals present but not focused on by the photographer's attention. A woman stands at far left edge of frame partially cropped out—her presence adds to atmosphere yet remains anonymous due to her peripheral inclusion within this moment captured in time.

This image is notable for its candid portrayal of an apparent social or political gathering, offering viewers a window into historical activism and public expressions during that era.

The image depicts a group of elderly women sitting on the floor in what appears to be an art gallery or exhibition space. The room has white tiled walls, and there are various artworks displayed on them, including paintings and sculptures.

Four women can be seen seated together; one is wearing a patterned black-and-white dress with glasses, while another wears a striped shawl over her shoulders. A third woman sits next to the first two, also in a traditional attire that includes a headscarf or wrap around her neck. The fourth woman appears more distanced from the group and leans against what looks like a white bench.

Behind them is an artwork titled "Capt. Bryce," which features a portrait of a man wearing a cap with text above it reading 'Capt. Bryce.' Another piece, possibly created by Te Whiti himself or someone closely associated with him, shows a black-and-white photograph framed and hung on the wall next to another abstract painting.

In front of them is an open book lying flat, suggesting that they might be engaging in conversation about art or discussing the works displayed around them. The overall atmosphere seems contemplative and serene as these women gather together within this space dedicated to artistic expression.

The black and white photograph depicts a group of individuals, likely at an outdoor social gathering. Four women are walking together on what appears to be grass with patches of bare ground visible between the stepping stones that outline their path. One woman is pushing a stroller while another is pulling it by hand; both look down towards where they're heading.

The others walk beside them: one has her arm around the shoulders or back, and seems supportive as she accompanies an elderly person who's walking with assistance from someone else in front of him. They are all dressed casually but respectfully for what might be considered a semi-formal event given their attire suggests practicality mixed with some level of decorum.

Behind them is another group interacting: two women appear to engage warmly, one reaching out her hand as if to help the other who's holding onto something above waist-level. Further back are more people and trees that form part of this outdoor environment which could be a park or perhaps grounds for an institution based on context clues given in the image information.

The scene is tranquil with no visible distress among these individuals, creating an atmosphere of calm camaraderie despite their varying ages and social roles suggested by their attire. The photo captures not just bodies but also subtle gestures that speak volumes about interpersonal relationships during this moment captured in time.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an indoor scene with multiple people. In the foreground, there's a woman in the middle of styling another person's hair using a canister possibly containing hairspray or a similar product. The stylist has her hair styled upwards into a voluminous bouffant reminiscent of late 20th-century fashion trends.

Behind them, various individuals are seated and standing around engaged in different activities; some appear to be conversing while others seem more passive. Among the crowd is another woman who stands out due to what seems like an oversized wig or hairdo that matches the stylist's own hairstyle but appears exaggerated for comedic effect. The environment suggests a casual gathering, possibly at someone’s home during social events.

The clothing styles and hairstyles are indicative of mid-20th-century fashion trends in Japan, with traditional attire such as kimonos also visible among some individuals present. There is no explicit indication of the setting beyond that it's an indoor event where people have gathered to either celebrate or participate in a communal activity before attending church services at Ratana Pao on January 25th.

The photograph captures a slice-of-life moment, giving insight into social customs and trends from its time period.

The image depicts a scene of desolation and destruction. In the center, there is an intact green couch with various cushions scattered on it, but around it lies a chaotic mess of debris: charred remains of furniture, twisted metal pieces, and mangled fragments of wood suggest that this room has been subjected to fire or another catastrophic event. The floor outside visible through broken windows appears to be littered similarly.

The walls are darkened by soot and discoloration from the smoke damage, and the large window panes have a frosty appearance on their outer sides as if covered in ice due to freezing temperatures after exposure to the elements or possible water condensation. The overall atmosphere is one of abandonment and ruin, with no signs of life present within this decimated space.

The black and white photograph depicts a group of men at an outdoor livestock auction, specifically identified as the Lorneville saleyards in Invercargill. The central figure is a man wearing a hat and coat, leaning over a wooden fence to interact with sheep on the other side. His expression suggests contemplation or concern while examining the animals closely.

In the background, several men can be seen observing the scene; some are dressed in work attire appropriate for farming or livestock handling activities. The setting appears to be an open space typical of saleyards, likely designed for such agricultural transactions. Notable features include the rustic wooden fence and the casual yet focused demeanor of the individuals present.

The photograph captures a moment from what seems like daily life at this rural location, providing insight into how livestock is managed or sold in New Zealand during that period. The image carries historical significance as it offers a glimpse into agricultural practices and community interactions related to animal husbandry in Invercargill's Lorneville saleyards.

The black-and-white photograph features a group of four people outdoors. The central figure is a woman standing assertively with her fists clenched and fingers pointed forward, exuding confidence or perhaps anger. She wears a knee-length coat over a skirt, high-heeled boots, and has tousled hair indicative of the late 1970s fashion style.

Behind her stand three onlookers: two men and one woman, displaying various degrees of engagement with their surroundings—ranging from disinterest to mild contemplation. The man in the middle is casually dressed in a sweater and jeans, his arms crossed, suggesting indifference or reflection upon what's happening before him.

The setting appears rural or semi-rural; behind them are trees, shrubs, and an open field under overcast skies. Onlookers include three individuals: one woman standing with her hands on hips, another seated in the background, partially obscured by foliage, wearing a cap, and yet another man walking away from the scene.

The overall atmosphere is tense or dramatic due to the central figure's assertive stance contrasted against the calm demeanor of those around.

A black and white photograph capturing a poignant moment at James K Baxter's graveside, located in Hiruharama. The scene shows individuals gathered around the grave; some are standing while others kneel or sit on rough ground strewn with foliage and debris.

The focus is drawn to two men assisting another individual lying upon what appears to be an old cloth spread across a deep trench-like pit beside Baxter's gravesite, suggesting they may have fallen in. The expressions of concern and shock etched on their faces convey the gravity of the situation. Other figures surrounding them display varied emotions ranging from distress to curiosity or interest.

The photograph evokes a strong sense of historical context as it captures an event involving members of what seems like New Zealand's youth movement during Baxter’s time, reflecting both reverence for his memory and the impact on contemporary generations.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting the scene of several individuals, including children and adults, emerging from what appears to be an old-fashioned wooden structure with vertical siding. The group seems cheerful as they gaze outside or towards each other while holding onto various objects like blankets and toys.

One child sits on a set of steps leading up to the entrance of the building, smiling broadly at someone out of frame. Another stands in the doorway leaning against the wall behind the first child, their body language relaxed with hands casually resting by their sides. There are multiple people visible within this group; some adults and children can be seen inside or partially outside.

The light source seems to come from a natural daylight setting, casting shadows on parts of the building's exterior as well as its occupants. The overall atmosphere is warm yet somewhat austere due to the black-and-white imagery and rustic wooden architecture.

There are no distinct markers indicating an exact location; however, this image evokes a sense of community and daily life in perhaps rural or lower-income areas during mid-20th century America. It captures candid moments shared by neighbors within their humble abode, suggesting simplicity as well as the resilience found among tight-knit groups.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting several people, likely from an earlier time period given the clothing styles. The focus of the photo seems to be on a group emerging or leaning against what appears to be a wooden structure, possibly a porch or doorway with horizontal slats.

From left to right: One individual stands holding a child in their arms at chest level; next is another person standing and facing towards us, partially obscured by darkness from behind them. There's an open door revealing two more individuals - one sitting on the doorstep leaning against the wall beside it, wearing what looks like pajama bottoms with long sleeves over bare shoulders or upper body, suggesting a casual attire typical of children at home; next to him sits another child also in dark clothing.

The expressions and postures suggest a moment captured spontaneously. The lighting is dramatic, casting shadows on their faces which adds depth and texture to the scene. It seems like an intimate family gathering during what could be routine activities such as washing up or preparing for bed time.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting two young children engaged in an activity. The child on the left appears to be about three years old, wearing a light-colored jacket or robe with their mouth wide open as if they are eating something directly from a spoon held by another person not visible in the frame above them.

This second child is slightly older and also dressed warmly in what looks like a thick sweater. They seem focused on feeding or perhaps playingfully attempting to feed the younger child, holding up an opened container labeled "Anchor Full Cream Milk Powder" with their right hand while using their left hand for support.

The setting appears to be indoors near a wall-mounted cabinet, suggesting it might be in a kitchen area at home. The lighting and shadows indicate that this scene is taking place during daylight hours as the window's natural light illuminates part of the room. There are various containers on what seems like a shelf or counter beside them which could hint towards meal preparation.

The children appear to share an intimate moment, captured with raw emotion and everyday simplicity without any staging or artificiality that would suggest otherwise—a snapshot of childhood life in perhaps less affluent conditions suggested by their clothing choice for warmth.

The image is a black and white photograph of a young child. The child appears to be standing near a structure, possibly outdoors given the natural lighting on their face. They are wearing what seems to be a knitted sweater or jacket with visible texture that suggests a chunky stitch pattern.
The expression on the child's face is contemplative; they have wide eyes and slightly furrowed brows, giving them an earnest look as if deep in thought or perhaps reflecting on something unseen by the viewer. The hair of the young person appears tousled, indicating either wind or movement just before being captured. There are no discernible background elements apart from what could be part of a building structure to their side.
The image has a candid quality and captures an intimate moment that suggests it is meant to convey emotional depth rather than document a specific event.

In this black and white photograph, a group of young boys are engaged in what appears to be traditional dancing. They wear grass skirts made from palm leaves over their shorts, which gives them an earthy look that blends with the natural surroundings.

The boys' heads are adorned with woven hats crafted from coconut palm fronds, adding another layer of authenticity and cultural significance to their attire. In addition to the hats, they also have seed pod anklets on their feet, which likely serve as both a decorative element and an indicator of social status within their community.

Each boy is actively participating in the dance by wielding wooden spears held out flat in front of them. The way these boys are dressed suggests that this activity may be part of a cultural celebration or ceremony. Although it's challenging to discern specific facial expressions, we can infer from their body language and focus on one another that they're fully immersed in the moment.

This photo captures not only an interesting snapshot of traditional dance but also provides insight into the rich customs and traditions held by these young boys' community during 1963.
