Description

Country Churches of New Zealand. A collection by Don Donovan. 'When the first European settlers arrived in New Zealand, choosing a site and erecting a building where they and their families could worship took precedence over many other civic requirements. In the main, early churches were well designed and stoutly built - almost invariably of local materials: timber, stone or brick - so that some 150 plus years later rural New Zealand remains studded with a surprising number of these architectural jewels. Not all are in mint condition but the original simple beauty of many of them can still be seen and appreciated, nowhere better than in this assembly of charming watercolours by artist Don Donovan. This very personal graphic collection of 148 subjects - and Don's often pithy and incisive observations about their histories and how they appear today - will hold great appeal not only for the many New Zealanders who have personal or historical connections with these churches, but also for those with an interest in colonial architecture'.
