First edition and printing of this wonderfully illustrated book, with 75 colour plates and folding map

A fascinating travel classic book in the original cloth bindings. The book is wonderfully illustrated with fold out map in colour at rear, and 75 striking full page colour plates, captioned on the tissue guards, by F. And W. Wright (Frank and Walter Wright taught and exhibited at Auckland's Victoria Arcade art school in the late 1880's along with Robert Atkinson, Charles Blomfield, E. W. Payton, Kennett Watkins, Louis John Steele and G. C. Goldie).

This book is a well presented blend of descriptive and historical material. There are an appendix and 7 chapters described by William Reeves. Published by Adam and Charles Black, London 1908. Publisher’s original brown cloth, decorated with Maori and Tiki design, with gilt lettering on upper cover and spine. Top page edges gilt.

Book Dimensions: 23.5 x 17.5 x 4.5 cm and Number of Pages: 241 including index

Condition
The book is beautifully designed and illustrated. Firm and well bound. External covers in nice shape, with light wear to boards’ corners, edges, and to head and tail of spine. Internally the book is in very good condition. Neat old inscription dated 1925 on first front free endpaper page. Pages are clean, with light foxing to free endpaper pages, and on the margin of some pages. The text is fresh. The attractive illustrations make this a truly beautiful title (Please see pictures).
