Kia ora koutou
Our March newsletter kicks off with the splendid news that Jane Ussher’s magisterial book Nature – Stilled, which we published last October, is one of the four books on the shortlist for the Booksellers Aotearoa New Zealand Award for Illustrated Non Fiction. We could not be more thrilled for Jane or more grateful to the Te Papa Natural History team, who not only helped her photograph the book but also wrote its terrific text. We are grateful, too, to the book’s designers – the mighty team at InHouse.
You can read all about the shortlist here – and warmest congratulations to all the other finalists – and about Nature – Stilled here.

Dressed: Fashionable Dress in Aotearoa New Zealand 1840 to 1910 by Claire Regnault
|

|
This richly illustrated and lively social history explores the creation, consumption and spectacle of fashionable dress in Aotearoa New Zealand. New Zealand’s 19th century dress culture was heavily shaped by international trends and interactions with Māori, the demands of settler lifestyle and the country’s geographical and environmental conditions.
