THE LINDAUER COLLECTION.
These pictures were painted during a long series of years by
Herr Lindauer, to the order of H.E. Partridge, Esq., who desired to
preserve records of primitive Maori customs, and portraits of
Chiefs notable in the annals of aboriginal inhabitants of New
Zealand. The collection was generously given to the City of
Auckland, in May 1915, in consideration of £10,000 subscribed, in
response to the appeal of the owner, for the relief of Belgian
sufferers by the war.
