AUT historian Paul Moon is hoping someone may recognise the māmā and pēpi in a photo he recently discovered while sorting through family documents so he can return it to the whānau, a Stuff report says.
Moon says the photo may simply be an image his grandmother liked and decided to keep - possibly a souvenir of some sort - as it was common to keep scrapbooks of interesting items back then.
He suspects the picture dates from between 1880 and the early 1900s. On the back it says “1/2 page. For book”, which Moon told Stuff he has no idea what that means.
