A rare opportunity to purchase a signed, numbered and recorded, collector's edition of an outstanding New Zealand publication.
William Harold Marsh, farmer, father and adventurous photographer captured a time of enchantment, when life was lived at a slower place, governed by a different set of values and priorities and ambitions. One of the first generation of those immigrants who sailed around the world to settle in Albertland, 70,000 coastal acres on the Kaipara Harbour, in Northland, New Zealand, he has left a legacy of those times, a window into the past for those yet to come.
"It's a wonderful book - in the truest sense: every page, each image of Harold Marsh's - full of wonder. And it doesn't get better than that!" |
Echo Publishing
Echo Publishing was formed by author, Paul Campbell, and newspaper publisher Allan Mortensen, with the express purpose of producing high quality books recording the broad spectrum of New Zealand history, with an emphasis on the rural sector.
Echo Publishing concentrates on seldom seen photographic archives, be they in public or private collections, which usually go through a process of painstaking restoration.
Many photographs considered for publication may have been damaged over time, be it by moisture, dust or poor storage.
Employing exhaustive triage and the latest computer-generated graphic restoration techniques, followed by craftsman hand-printing on top quality paper stock, Echo Publishing staff have succeeded in recreating iconic pictorial accounts that record the growth of a nation through the actual eye-witnesses of the time.
