Exhibition unfolds at Our City O-Tautahi
A unique
exhibition, Unfolding New Zealand, is currently on show at
Our
City O-Tautahi.
The display features folding
emigration maps which were published to
encourage new
settlers to New Zealand. They are part of the
collection
of Dr. Peter Maling, a well-known Christchurch
map collector and author
of the landmark book, Historic
Maps and Charts of New Zealand,
1642-1875.
Maps have
always formed an integral part of a country's development
and
New Zealand has been no exception. The maps at the
exhibition reflect
the exploration and development of New
Zealand during the 19th Century.
The exhibition is
presented by the Antique Print Gallery, 34, New
Regent
Street, Christchurch.
Unfolding New Zealand, 26 June - 15 July, free admission.
Our City O-Tautahi is the
Council's community exhibition space on the
corner of
Oxford Terrace and Worcester
Boulevard.
