Description: An ornate arrangement of panels of text, of various typeface, and featuring the clouds of glory of the British Empire. Each Canterbury town is described in a decorative panel of its own. A history and chronology of major events in Canterbury's history is given, and several local businessmen are named: Robert Watson, tailor and habitmaker; John Moore, boot and shoemaker; D Inwood, baker and miller; Drs Donald and Barker, medical profession; W Wilson, nurseryman and seed merchant; C W Bishop, storekeeper and general mertchant; George Gould, storekeeper and general merchant; Golden Fleece Hotel, Ellis and Cartner; A J Alport, auctioneer and commission agent; J Anderson, blacksmith and practical engineer; R Wormald, solicitor and conveyancer; Joyce and Turner, butchers. From the poster itself, the date appears to be around 1882, because of the last date on the chronology. However, biographical notes about Meek mention a date of 1886 or 1887 for his Canterbury poster. Other Titles - Christchurch, situated in Lat. S. 43 [degrees] 31'.34" Long.
