Mō Vicereines of Ireland Pukapuka Mātauranga

Ko Vicereines of Ireland he pukapuka mātauranga mō tētahi rōpū wahine kāore i aro nuitia i roto i te hītori o Airangi. Ka hopukina e te hoahoa te ao rawa taonga whāiti oēnei wahine, ā, e whakaata ana hoki i te tangata-tanga o ā rātou mahi. I tangohia te tae kōwhiri mai i nga peita māwhero-puwhero e mau tonu ana i runga i te papa peita a tētahi o aua wāhine. Nā tētahi pukapuka tuhi mangumangu Itāriana tāwhito i whakaawe i nga pepa mutunga, ā, i hangaia mā te tikanga marumaru ira-ā-waahi tuku iho, kātahi ka urutau matihikoina. Kei runga i te uwhi pakupaku he papa parāoa koura kua parae kia noho ki muri i te whakaahua o mua o te uwhi, kia puta mai ai te wahine e whakaatuhia ana ki mua.

Kete Pāpāho

Ngā whakamihi, ngā mema o te rōpū me ngā taipitopito hangarau i whakaratohia e te kaihoahoa.

Āhuatanga Motuhake: Aim of the design was to capture rich material world, and also to reflect these women's humanity. The choice of a simple cover rather than grand portrait, that mainly appear on the covers of art history books, reflects this approach. The gilded frame that usually surrounds many portraits is placed not around the portrait image but behind it, on the hard cover, allowing the image of the woman to come forward. It encourages reader to look beyond the superficial image of women as decorative partners to powerful men.

Hangarau Whakanao: The making of the book was a dialogue between the written content, the visual material discovered during the research, and current design practices. One of the key sources used in the writing of the book was an old Italian marbled notebook that belonged to one of the women. This inspired the creation of artwork for the book's end papers. The book's colour palette was sent to an artist, who created six bespoke patterns using a traditional spot marbling technique. After selecting the most suitable, the pattern was digitally manipulated to give this traditional pattern a contemporary look.
Wero Hoahoa: As an academic book, there were specific design conventions which had to be followed. The challenge was to strike a balance between meeting these criteria and reflecting the seriousness of the book's content, while also pushing the creative boundaries to modernise the image of the art history book. A bold colour palette, unexpected cover image (and application of it), use of a ribbon bookmark inspired by the diaries of the vicereines and the choice of contemporary serif typography all helped to overcome this challenge.
Rangahau: The research for the design grew out of several years of original research for the book. This research was carried out in public and private archives across Ireland, Britain and the USA, and attracted funding from bodies including the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art. The main sources were the letters and diaries of these women, as well as their private collections of textiles, sketches and personal objects. One of the most inspiring of these objects was the paint palette of one of the women featured in the book. The book's colour scheme was taken from the blush pink paint colours that have survived on the palette since the 1780s.
Whakaaweawe: The book tells the untold story of a group of overlooked women in Irish history. As the wives of the countrys rulers, they were the female faces of the British administration in Ireland before independence. Even though their privileged world was one of shimmering fabrics, sparkling pearls and blossoming flowers, many of these women worked hard to relieve crushing poverty, promote Irish fashion and mitigate injustices. Despite their pioneering efforts, they have long been almost entirely forgotten in Irish history. Their story, and the value of telling it for the first time, inspired the project.
