A nice collection of original engravings on three full pages of the Illustrated London News relating to New Plymouth in New Zealand as follows:
"New Zealand: Encampment on Mount Eliot, New Plymouth" - dated August 23, 1856 - see interesting description below
"Crofton Park, Omaha District" - "View in Crofton Park" - " View on Waitera River - North Bank" - "Mokau River, forty miles north of New Plymouth" - dated February 8, 1851
"North bank of Waitera River, Near New Plymouth' and "View from the town of New Plymouth" and three "natives" dated February 8, 1851
Good condition . Related and unrelated text . Page size 11 x 16 inches.
These are original antique prints and not reproductions . Great collectors item for the historian - see more of these of New Zealand in Seller's Other Items.
NOTE - International mailing in a tube is unfortunately expensive. The quoted price assumes that the pages are lightly folded and sent in an envelope. Alternatively a mailing tube to N.Z., if preferred, would be $17.50
