    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    From the sublime to the surreal, the familiar to the forgotten and the 1850s to the present see New Zealand photography like never before in this unique visual history. New Zealand Photography Collected illuminates New Zealands photographic history, from the earliest nineteenth-century portraits of M&&&257;ori and local scenic views to the latest contemporary art photography. It features more than 350 photographs drawn from the national collection at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, beautifully reproduced and accompanied by richly informative descriptions. From the iconic to the previously unpublished, the selection includes outstanding photographs by James Bragge, Leslie Adkin, Spencer Digby, John Pascoe, Brian Brake, Frank Hofmann, Ans Westra, Eric Lee-Johnson, Marti Friedlander, Laurence Aberhart, Ann Shelton, Glenn Jowitt, Anne Noble, Yvonne Todd and many others. Author and curator Athol McCredie offers a fresh and compelling narrative that foregrounds photographys wide-ranging uses across portraiture, landscape, science, documentary photography and art, and contemplates the way it has been collected both privately and publicly through time. What emerges is not only an illuminating new history of the photographic medium but also a surprising and powerful portrait of Aotearoa New Zealand its landscapes, its people and its changing character as a nation.

    "New Zealand Photography Collected offers some six decades of our life, with a compelling immediacy there is a magical timelessness about photography which gives the past a vivid presence made richer here by being arranged as a lively subject and not by cold chronology. In these images we gaze at our ancestors and they gaze back; we share their landscapes and their celebrations, their tragedies and their private memorials.' Hamish Keith"
