New Zealanders As We See 'em 1936-37" is a book published by the short lived New Zealand Cartoonists' Association that features cartoons and caricatures of prominent New Zealanders from that period. The book includes portraits of men, often professionals like doctors, lawyers, politicians, and businessmen, with accompanying text describing their occupations and hobbies. It was published in 1937, with the preface noting it could be considered a "Who's Who" of New Zealanders from the perspective of cartoonists.
Sadly no women feature, nor is it a glowing endorsement of our attitudes to promoting diversity and inclusion in those days! Even the disturbing Swastika is applied as a border to the title page!
Leather hardcover, 434 pp. Extensive frontis notes from Bagnall Collection of rare and significant material relating to New Zealand.
Pre-loved, VG+, scare only 450 copies published.
