New Zealand Photography
by Hardwicke Knight
Hardwicke Knight is a very well known New Zealand author who has written widely on local history, art, and photography.
This book pays homage to the firm of Burton Brothers and to the remarkable contribution of Walter and Alfred Burton to New Zealand's photographic history. They travelled widely throughout the country and did a great deal to promote the country and its attractions.
They photographed everything from the scenery and the towns & cities to the buildings & the inhabitants. The selection in this book has been chosen to highlight not only their artistic flair but also to give a fascinating glimpse into the period itself. The photographs are combined with an in depth biography of the Burton Brothers and their firm.
