Long description:

A SUPERB SELECTION OF THE WORK OF ONE OF NEW ZEALAND?S FINEST EARLY PHOTOGRAPHERS

Leslie Adkin (1888?1964) was a Levin farmer, photographer, geologist, ethnologist and explorer, a gifted amateur and renaissance man, of sorts, who used photography to document his scholarly interests, farming activities and family life. His much loved and exceptionally beautiful photographs taken between 1900 and the 1930s are one of the highlights of Te Papa?s historical photography collection.This book of over 150 images, selected by Athol McCredie, Curator Photography at Te Papa, establishes his reputation more clearly within the development of photography in New Zealand and showcases a remarkable body of work.

McCredie?s substantial text gives rich insights into the varied elements of Adkin?s very busy life, including his love for his wife Maud, captured over the years in a range of intimate and engaging images which feel as fresh as when they were first taken.
