About the author

W. (Wilhelm) Dittmer

1866–1909

A German-born painter who spent part of his career in New Zealand, he is remembered for portraits of Māori subjects and for the illustrated 1907 book Te Tohunga. His short life left behind a small but striking body of work tied to the art history of Aotearoa.
