Item Overview

Description

A pair of Maori "photographic" portrait ceramic tiles by Sherwin & Cotton, c.1900, being Tuari Netana and Bella (possibly Bella Papakura, the celebrated Rotorua guide), moulded and with deep brown glaze, both signed with C monogram at lower left and titled at upper right, 235 x 155 mm.

George Cartlidge worked for Sherwin & Cotton from the mid-1880s to around 1910, and is noted for his portrait tiles. The present pair are most likely based on photographs by the Rotorua photographer Arthur James Iles.
