New Zealand Odyssey - A Graphic Journey

Heinemann Reed, Auckland, 1989 (1st ed). Minor wear at top of dustjacket spine. Some foxing.

Here the authors have travelled the length and breadth of the country seeking structures and landscapes that, to them, are the essence of New Zealand, `warts `n' all.' The illustrations invite us to look again at things we walk past every day without noticing; ornate buildings hidden above shop-front canopies, rusting roofs, faded signwriting, pompous façades, simple colonial dwellings, peeling paint, colourful mosses, crumbling brick... If you seek the real New Zealand you will find it among Sarginson's stunning photos and Donovan's whimsical watercolours...
