This hard covered book in a dust jacket is the story of John Turnbull Thomson First Surveyor-General of New Zealand.

It is also the story of the exploration and mapping of southern New Zealand as told by Thomson and illustrated with his own paintings, including the first of Mt. Cook from the east.

This is a 114 page book in excellent condition with a dustjcket that has been protected in a professional jacket.

Lots of photographs and art work, and information for an avid New Zealand history researcher.
