Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. A very close to new copy with only one small mark on the rear cover. The book traces how New Zealand's mountains were promoted from the late nineteenth century onward, using posters, brochures, hand?coloured photographs, glass slides, magazine covers, lithographs and other visual ephemera to show how the idea of the Southern Alps as an "alpine playground" was constructed. It follows the growth of tramping, skiing, climbing and scenic travel, and explains how mountain imagery became tied to national identity and belonging in Aotearoa. The research team draws on a century of visual material, presenting it in a way that blends art history, tourism history and cultural storytelling.
