WWII In War and Peace New Zealand MacDonald Gill
Original vintage World War Two pictorial map for New Zealand Her Natural and Industrial Resources featuring a great illustration by the notable graphic designer, cartographer and artist MacDonald Gill (Leslie MacDonald Gill aka Max Gill; 1884-1947) of a map of New Zealand depicting the country's various industrial and natural resources, including farms, mines and forests, gold, hydroelectric works, coal, timber, iron, tobacco, grain, cheese, butter, fruit, fish and sheep with the stylised title text on a scroll design, a plane and Onward coat of arms above, a compass on the side and a ship and information box below - When war broke out New Zealand industries were unprepared for munitions production. To-day New Zealand is not only manufacturing many kinds of munitions for her own defence but is making a valuable contribution to the defence of other areas in the Pacific. When the war is over, New Zealand will convert her new industries for peace time development. Very good condition, folds, restored pinholes and minor tears on folds, pen inscription Ralph on the bottom margin, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
