The image depicts a black and white photograph featuring two individuals, likely within the context of a hospital setting. One person appears to be lying in bed with their head resting on pillows while wearing a light-colored garment covered by a blanket or comforter; their eyes are closed suggesting they might be asleep or unconscious.

In contrast, another individual is seated next to them, gazing off into the distance with an expression that suggests contemplation or concern. This person has longer hair and wears what appears to be a patterned shirt or jacket over casual clothing.
The backdrop reveals medical equipment such as a monitor or other apparatus mounted on the wall above one of the beds, reinforcing the hospital atmosphere.

The overall composition captures an intimate moment between two individuals amidst healthcare surroundings, evoking emotions associated with vulnerability, support, and concern.

The image is a black and white photograph capturing an intense moment during what appears to be a protest or demonstration. In the center, there's a man with curly hair being detained by two individuals wearing police uniforms equipped with distinctive white helmets known as "billy clubs." The individual on his left has their arm extended towards him in a manner suggesting they are either attempting to restrain or assist in restraining this person.

The detainee is dressed casually and seems distressed, possibly shouting or expressing resistance. His facial expression conveys urgency and concern. In the background, other individuals can be seen observing the scene. The overall atmosphere suggests tension and conflict, with elements of civil unrest present.

This photograph likely depicts a specific historical event related to protests against sporting events involving South Africa during apartheid in 1972 known as the "Anti Springbok tour demonstration." It is an image that carries significant social context regarding political activism and law enforcement's responses to public demonstrations.

A black and white photograph depicting a large group of young people gathered, possibly for an event or protest. Many are sitting on the ground with some standing in the background. They appear casual dressed in jackets, jeans, and various hairstyles indicative of 60s-80s fashion trends. A delivery truck labeled "LOAD" is visible behind them suggesting they may be outside a venue related to their gathering. There's an air of anticipation or attentiveness as many are looking towards something out-of-frame on the left side of the photo, where we can see one individual gesturing with his hand extended upwards and another holding what seems like either binoculars or some sort of device for viewing at distance. The scene is urban with a road stretching into the background flanked by sidewalks.

The image depicts a large, industrial structure resembling part of a crane or bridge support. It is constructed with numerous steel beams and girders arranged in an intricate pattern that suggests it's designed for heavy-duty use, possibly related to construction work such as loading docks at a port facility.

In the foreground, there are several objects on the ground which look like blocks of concrete and what appears to be part of a mechanical device or piece of equipment. A metal railing is seen in front of these items, indicating a restricted area for safety reasons. The background shows an overcast sky with hints of trees at the far edge, suggesting this location might be near some greenery.

Handwritten on the image are numbers "1 372 ens" which could refer to identification or documentation details related to the structure. There's also what appears to be a signature in ink at the bottom right corner of the photo, but it is not clear enough to read without closer inspection.

The image captures a vibrant scene from the arrival of the Maori land march on Parliament grounds in 1975. It's a black and white photo, adding a sense of nostalgia and historical significance to the event. The crowd is dense with people of various ages and genders, all gathered in support of the march. Many are holding umbrellas, perhaps as a symbolic gesture or simply for protection from the weather.

In the midst of this sea of faces, one woman stands out. She is wearing a bandana on her head, signifying her participation in the event. Her gaze is directed towards something off-camera, and she appears to be deep in thought or perhaps observing a key moment in the march.

The image is rich with emotion, capturing not just the physical details of the crowd but also the spirit and intent behind their gathering. It's a snapshot of history, telling a story without words through the actions and expressions of its subjects.

http://api.digitalnz.org/records/36386666/source

The image shows a group of people walking together across a street. It appears to be an event or protest, as the individuals are gathered and moving in the same direction, suggesting a coordinated effort. There is no visible text within the image that would provide context or description of the scene beyond what can be inferred from observing the actions of the people shown.

The setting includes an urban environment with infrastructure such as road markings, which are typical elements found in city streets. The weather looks overcast, and the ground appears to be wet, possibly from recent rain.

In terms of the composition of the scene, there is a mix of attire among the participants, ranging from casual clothing to what might be considered more formal or professional wear. There's no indication of specific identities or affiliations of the individuals, and the style of the image suggests it could be from an earlier time period due to the fashion and the quality of the photograph.

The overall atmosphere is one of unity among the participants as they walk together on the street. The presence of an umbrella in the scene might suggest a concern for protection against rain, or possibly being prepared for any eventuality during their march.
