The printer, C.S.W. is Coulls Somerville Wilkie. Mounted on linen prior to arrival in Library. A slightly enlarged version of this image was used on the front of: "New Zealand : scenic playground of the Pacific". Dept. of Tourist & Publicity, 1937. The subtitle "Wonderland of the Pacific" was used on a booklet issued for use overseas in 1929, and scheduled for re-issue around 1935 in a deluxe addition, according to the Tourist and Publicity Department's annual report for 1934-35. This suggests the poster is dated around that time.
