"The New Zealanders Illustrated" is a seminal work by George French Angas, first published in 1847. This comprehensive volume is a significant historical and ethnographic record, capturing the diverse cultures, landscapes, and peoples of New Zealand during the mid-19th century. Angas, an English artist and naturalist, embarked on an extensive journey through New Zealand in the early 1840s, meticulously documenting his observations through detailed illustrations and descriptive text.

The book is renowned for its vivid and accurate depictions of Māori life, customs, and traditions, as well as the natural environment of New Zealand. Angas's illustrations include portraits of prominent Māori leaders, scenes of daily life, traditional ceremonies, and intricate carvings and artifacts. His work provides invaluable insights into the Māori way of life during a period of significant change and contact with European settlers.

"The New Zealanders Illustrated" is not only an artistic achievement but also an important ethnographic resource. Angas's commitment to accuracy and detail in his illustrations and descriptions has made the book a crucial reference for historians, anthropologists, and art historians studying New Zealand's colonial history and Māori culture. The publication includes 60 hand-colored lithographs, which were highly praised for their quality and fidelity to the subjects depicted.

Angas's work stands out for its respectful and empathetic portrayal of the Māori people, contrasting with many contemporary accounts that often depicted indigenous cultures through a Eurocentric lens. His illustrations and accompanying narratives provide a rare and valuable perspective on New Zealand's cultural heritage, making "The New Zealanders Illustrated" a treasured document in the annals of New Zealand's history.
