''Moko Or Maori Tattooing'' is a book written by Horatio Robley that explores the art and cultural significance of traditional Maori tattooing, known as moko. The book is a detailed account of the history, techniques, and symbolism of moko, as well as its place in Maori culture. Robley, who was a British army officer stationed in New Zealand in the late 1800s, became fascinated with moko and collected many examples of the art form. He also interviewed Maori elders and experts to gain a deeper understanding of its cultural significance. The book includes illustrations and photographs of moko designs, as well as descriptions of the tools and methods used to create them. It is considered a valuable resource for anyone interested in Maori culture and the history of tattooing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
