Introduction to New Zealand was published in 1945 by the Historical Branch of the New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs and printed by Whitcombe and Tombs in Wellington.
Produced and distributed for the New Zealand Legation in Washington, D.C., the 271-page volume was created to introduce New Zealand and explain the country to its American wartime allies. New Zealand established its first permanent diplomatic mission in the United States in October 1941 (with Minister Walter Nash presenting his credentials in February 1942) at Observatory Circle. Because smaller nations initially exchanged "Ministers" rather than full "Ambassadors," the mission was called a Legation until 1948, when it was upgraded to the Embassy of New Zealand, Washington, D.C.
Whilst widely printed, this volume is now scarce and the Legation stamp adds provenance.
