| Name: | A fortified town or village called a hippah |
| Description: | Sporing, Herman Diedrich, ca 1730-1771 : built on a perforated rock, in New Zealand. Morris sculp. London. Alexr. Hogg [1784?] Shows Europeans at left and Maori at right, paddling two canoes in the foreground, with the arched rock behind. Some canoes are drawn up on the steep back at the right beyond the rock. Derived from the first published illustration in Hawkesworth's voyages, 1773, v. 2, pl 18, which in turn is from a pencil drawing by Herman Diedrich Sporing ('A perforated rock fortified on the top'. Endorsed in Sporing's hand, `Sporing's Grotto. Opuragi-bay. New Zealand!. See Barnard Smith's European Vision and the South Pacific) The view is actually of Te Puta o Paretauhinu at Mercury Bay not Tolaga Bay. `Opoorage' was Cook's rendering of Purangi ie Mercury Bay. Confusion has arisen in early titling of engravings on account of the Sporing and Parkinson views of the Tolaga Bay archway (see plates in Bernard Smith and Beaglehole).

| Name: | The inside of a hippah in New Zealand |
| Description: | Webber, John, ca 1750-1793 :. Rennoldson sculp. [London] Alexr. Hogg [1784?] Shows a group of four Maori in the centre foreground outside a pa. Two other figures talk together on the ground to the left. Some whare constructed of reeds are seen behind them, on ground that slopes away to the lake or inlet in the background. There is a hill in the centre distance. The pa shown is probably the fortified village on the island of Motuara, visited by Cook on 15 February and by Anderson on 20 February. It was visited by Cook on his first voyage, and Furneaus had established his winter quarters there on the second voyage when it was also used as William Bayly's observatory. Between the second and third voyage, the pa had been rebuilt but was again deserted. This gave Webber an opportunity to sketch it from the inside. Physical Description Engraving, hand-coloured, 200 x 327 mm. |
