Teacher and scholars at Malanta, 1892
Scope and Contents
206 x 156 mm. Printed from a broken photographic plate. A view of the teacher Joseph Waite and his wife and family. The taking of this photograph is described by Montgomery: ‘One morning at six o’ clock, I landed with Mr Palmer at Soa, and walked up to the village with the camera. The teacher here is a well-known man. Joseph Wate was on board the ‘Southern Cross’ when John Patteson was killed at Nukapu, and has always borne a good character. His wife has a charming face, and looked a worthy helpmeet. I took a good photograph of the family, including a crippled boy, who was tenderly nursed by them’, p. 179.
