Graphica Britannica

In 1953, Sir Rex Nan Kivell from London's Redfern Gallery, packaged a selection of more than one thousand prints by the leading British artists of the day into four separate parcels. He sent the parcels to the public art galleries of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin and this was to become one of the most significant offerings to the public print collections of New Zealand. This beautifully illustrated publication reflects Nan Kivell's original list and is a celebration of a generous gift which has provided a snapshot into the most significant period in the history of the print in Britain.

John Kinder's New Zealand
The Reverend Doctor John Kinder was one of New Zealand's most influential 19th century Anglican ministers and teachers and was also a committed amateur artist. From his arrival in Auckland in 1855 until his death in 1903, he travelled the country making drawings, watercolours and photographs of his experiences. From watercolours of Lyttelton Harbour to photographs of the pink and white terraces, Kinder's legacy is an evocative portrait of New Zealand in its early colonial years.
