My latest jigsaw: A tourist map from 1946. A very colonial of view of New Zealand back then, emphasising the many hunting and fishing options available, as well as ties to Britain. Taranaki is described as being "reminiscent of Cornwall and Devon". Naturally there isn't a macron in sight on any Māori place names. A fascinating map with lots of detail which is hard to see on this image. As always, the sea was the hardest part with the 'brute force' being the only real option.
