Wellington Historical Cards The establishment of the city of Wellington coincided with the invention and early development of photography. Although the visual record of the first two decades of the capital comes principally from sketches and paintings, often by agents of the New Zealand Company, within a few years colonists were enthusiastically documenting the growth of their town using the new medium. As more sensitive photographic materials were developed and exposure times reduced, images of static and empty streets were replaced by ones showing the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The images come from collections of the Alexander Turnbull Library, National Library of New Zealand, Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa; the library's assistance is gratefully acknowledged. The packs include twelve high-quality cards (two of each type) with images printed as duotones. Blank inside, they have detailed descriptions and commentaries on the back. Envelopes are also included. They are shrink-wrapped inside an attractive cover and retail for $17.73 + GST ($19.95 incl GST). They are ideal for personal stationery and for gifts. Prices can be negotiated for inclusion of your corporate logo on bulk orders. PDF version of cards (420kB). For further details ring Wellington 389 9354 or email cards@bookpro.co.nz.
