This exhibition contained 100 paintings and drawings organised by the Dunedin Public Art Gallery. This exhibition was mounted to provide opportunity for comparison and study, as well as to confirm criticism and enable reassessment of existing opinions. It represented a view of Māori through European eyes and included most of the recognised recorders including Charles Frederick Goldie and Gottfried Lindauer.

The works covered a large variety of styles, as well as qualities and mediums, but all were important either as ethnic or art historical documents, and were loaned by all major art galleries and many private individuals, as well as institutions.

This exhibition also included works by recognised contemporary New Zealand artists who were not so readily associated with Māori.

Some damage was sustained to the works in the exhibition and the most damage was to the Lindauer portrait of King Tawhiao which was slightly scratched and spat upon and needed some restoration work.
