A collection of the beautiful, loving portraits of older, tattooed, Maori women by Kristine Zambucka. Each in full colour, and full sized. These women - the kuia - were fast vanishing even when the book was published 50 years ago, despite their noted longevity, but, in the words of Dr, S. M. Mead in the Foreword, 'The tattooed kuia is something more than a grandmother. She is a symbol, a bridge between life and death'. Words which have ever more resonance now perhaps than when they were written.
