From the starting point of John Kinder’s atmospheric 1856 engraving of Auckland from above, and an imagined balloon flight in 1885, we follow through on a Victorian flight of imagination. With early watercolours painted from photographs, through rare postcard views of early twentieth century Auckland to present day images we take an elevated view of our city from sweeping perspectives.
The evolving Auckland waterfront, the Domain and Grafton all feature in this compact exhibition in the stately Victorian Gothic venue of John Kinder House.
