Christchurch, New Zealand : the garden city of the dominion

Published by the Lyttelton Times Newspaper Company, Christchurch, New Zealand : the garden city of the Dominion  is a pictorial, souvenir book published c.1917.

The work places an emphasis on the 'Garden City concept', illustrating the "busy streets, the public buildings, the architecture, the beauty spots and all the many scenes that constitute the make-up of a progressive colonial city."

The work's size (24 x 32cm) and approximately 41 plates, both in full page and collage format, along with a lack of advertising content, allow the publication to illustrate its broad scope to the reader.
