Deel van de Pink Terraces langs Lake Rotomahana c. 1865 - 1875

"Deel van de Pink Terraces langs Lake Rotomahana" is a striking black and white photograph captured by Daniel Louis Mundy, a renowned photographer of the 19th century, sometime between 1865 and 1875. The photograph depicts a portion of the Pink Terraces, a unique geothermal wonder in New Zealand, before their tragic destruction in 1886 due to a volcanic eruption. The image showcases the terraces' remarkable layered structure and the breathtaking beauty of the natural landscape. Mundy's work, often focused on documenting New Zealand's scenery, played a significant role in capturing the ephemeral beauty of these natural wonders.
