New Zealand Odyssey: A Graphic Journey (book)
New Zealand Odyssey: A Graphic Journey (book)
Don Donovan and Euan Sarginson
Hardback, large format, colour, 234 pages. 1989
Sticker residue on one of inside pre-title pages after removal of an inscribed message. Also personalised inscriptions and signatures surrounding one sketch on P42. Otherwise excellent.
Here the authors have travelled the length and breadth of the country seeking structures and landscapes that, to them, are the essence of New Zealand, 'warts 'n' all.'
The illustrations invite us to look again at things we walk past every day without noticing; ornate buildings hidden above shop-front canopies, rusting roofs, faded signwriting, pompous facades, simple colonial dwellings, peeling paint, colourful mosses, crumbling brick... If you seek the real New Zealand you will find it among Sarginson's stunning photos and Donovan's whimsical watercolours...
