A Map of New Zealand
A truly outstanding, and large scale, Empire Marketing Board poster map designed by Leslie MacDonald ('Max') Gill. This design, for New Zealand, was published in 1930, as part of a series celebrating the produce of the British Isles and its Dominions (namely South Africa, Canada, New Zealand and Australia). They were intended for public display, often on specially erected hoardings. Today, these extremely scare and beautiful posters rarely appear on the market. This example came from the estate of MacDonald Gill and would have been retained as a reference copy. Date: 1931

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning and large-scale Map of New Zealand is an exceptional Empire Marketing Board poster design created by Leslie MacDonald Gill, also known as 'Max' Gill, in 1931. Part of a series showcasing the produce of the British Isles and its Dominions, including South Africa, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, this poster was published in 1930 for public display on specially erected hoardings. The series aimed to promote the economic and cultural connections between the United Kingdom and its colonies. Measuring an impressive size, this Map of New Zealand is a testament to Gill's exceptional design skills. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring the land and its geographical features to life. The poster features a clear and accurate representation of New Zealand's islands, major cities, and bodies of water, making it an essential reference tool for those exploring the region. This particular example of the Map of New Zealand comes from the estate of Leslie MacDonald Gill and was likely retained as a reference copy. The rarity and beauty of these posters make them highly sought-after collectibles today. Though they were originally intended for public display, few survive, making this an exceptional addition to any collection of vintage travel or cartographic posters.
