ABOUT
Documents Payton’s extensive travels across New Zealand between 1883 and 1886.
Payton arrived in New Zealand in 1883 and spent three years exploring both the North and South Islands. His journal entries offer an invaluable first-hand perspective on late-nineteenth-century colonial life, landscapes, and society.
The book is structured around his journey, transitioning from major settlements to remote areas.
Because he was a notable landscape painter, the first-edition volume is highly regarded for containing 20 full-page illustration plates sketched by the author, alongside a large folding map at the back.
Includes a newspaper clipping pasted into the front.
