The lithograph is part of a series depicting Major Gustavus Ferdinand Von Tempsky and his exploits in the Waikato during the nineteenth-century Maori Wars. Von Tempsky fought for the British colonial forces, leading a company of the Forest Rangers. Von Tempsky died in battle in 1868.

Cornwell has depicted Von Tempsky as an almost caricature, perhaps incorporating a sense of the flamboyance that Von Tempsky was known for.
