EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and witness the remarkable transformation of Wellington, New Zealand's vibrant capital city, as depicted in this intriguing poster. On the left, a quaint and comparatively rural townscape from 1844 greets the viewer, with simple wooden buildings huddled around the coastline and a small, peaceful harbor. The tranquility of the scene is a stark contrast to the bustling urban metropolis on the right, showcasing the city as it appeared in the twentieth century. The poster, created in 1935, beautifully illustrates the remarkable growth and urbanisation Wellington underwent during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The harbor, once a small and sheltered body of water, is now dwarfed by the sprawling cityscape, with modern buildings reaching for the sky and the busy port teeming with ships. As you gaze at this image, consider the rich history and the myriad of changes that have taken place in Wellington over the past century and a half. From a humble settlement to a thriving city, Wellington has become a must-visit destination for travelers from around the world, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Whether you're a history buff, an urban explorer, or simply someone who appreciates the passage of time and the transformative power of progress, this poster is a fascinating glimpse into the past and a testament to the enduring allure of Wellington, New Zealand.
