By: Clune, Frank, 1894-1971
Reference: MSX-10003
Description: An annotated unpublished travel journal written by the Australian travel writer, author, journalist, and businessman Frank Clune. Journal records Clune's journey around the world which includes time spent in New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific. The journal is annotated throughout, presumably by Clune, with corrections, additions, and pagination of chapters. Chapter headings provide a list of subjects covered, which include New Zealand history, colonisation, and race relations; art, both in New Zealand and internationally, particularly Paul Gauguin; Tahiti, and other Pacific Islands; Christopher Columbus, his exploration and colonisation of the Americas; and South Africa. Some of the New Zealand entries relate to conversations between Clune and Sir Henry Kelliher, businessman and art patron. Title supplied by Library. Quantity: 1 volume(s). Physical Description: Typescript volume bound in full leather with raised bands, labels on spine, and gilt border, circa 510 pages, 27.3 x 22.6 cm. Provenance: Vendor indicates that they purchased this volume in the early 2000s in Auckland. This may have coincided with the disbursement of Kelliher's estate and book collection around the same time. The spine of the volume includes the label of Sir Henry Kelliher which may indicate that Kelliher once owned this manuscript -- it was possibly a gift from Clune -- and arranged for its binding.
