"This groundbreaking book celebrates the remarkable range of tourism posters and other publicity that helped promote New Zealand--both locally and to the world--until the 1960s, before television and colour photography changed the publicity landscape forever. With close to 1000 images and a range of important essays, Selling the Dream is the first dedicated and extensive celebration of this valuable material. The imagery is some of the finest graphic art ever produced in New Zealand, and as arresting and impressive today as when it was first created. The book will leave you in no doubt that the art of early tourism was highly significant in New Zealand's art history, and in the development of New Zealand's tourism industry and sense of national identity." -- the publisher.
