	Pictorial New Zealand (20th Century) at A Vintage Shop
		This "photgraphic study" of the country in all its fl and white splendor is undated, but I would guess that it dates from the late 1940s.
		Filled with lovely photos and sidebars that read like old Movie News reels, "Pictorial New Zealand" was produced by New Zealand's own Whitcombe and Tombs, Ltd. It measures 9 and 5/8 inches by 9 and 3/8 inches and is 60 pages long.
		It's not in pristine condition; the spine is crackled as if it's been subjected to a bit too much twisting, the cover is lightly scuffed, and the pages are naturally yellowed with age.

		Whitcombe and Tombs were New Zealand’s leading publishers of household manuals, on both cooking and gardening.
		The botanist and pioneer ecologist Leonard Cockayne (1855–1934) wrote the first popular book on growing native plants, The Cultivation of New Zealand Plants (1923) as part of Whitcombe and Tombs’ New Zealand Practical Handbooks series.
		Though he recognised that some gardeners’ motivations to do so reflected innate patriotism, he was also aware that popular taste for novelty played a role, for it was the nursery-selected bronze and variegated varieties that were the best sellers (as they still are).

		However, certainly for the brighter pupils, this latter material remained available and judging by the print runs of the local publisher, Whitcombe and Tombs, various series must have been much used.
		We have also to recall that these sets of materials were supplemented after 1934 when the revised Course of Studies for Primary Schools was introduced.
		To support this new curriculum the Education Department commissioned two sets of readers from Whitcombe and Tombs.
