This type lay case was that of William Colenso in 1835, as described in McKenzie: Oral culture, literacy & print in early New Zealand (1985). Because the Maori language uses less characters than English, only 72 boxes are needed, rather than the normal 98, and the case can thus include roman, small caps and italic. The empty case configuration is Maori Upper, and the lower case lay is Maori Lower.
