Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread so far. It's about time I added to it.

Here are some selected cigarette cards relating to the theme. The ones from the "New Zealand Early Scenes & Maori Life" series are from 1926, while the "Beautiful New Zealand" ones are from 1928.

The first card includes some rather outdated views on the racial origins of the Maoris...

PS: In belated reply to the above question, yes the Christchurch museum survived the earthquakes - it had previously completed earthquake strengthening and got through them intact with just a few fallen bits of masonry.

Toto, j'ai l'impression que nous ne sommes plus au Kansas !
