Historical souvenir of the Young Men's Christian Association of the City of Wellington, New Zealand.
The Young Men's Christian Association was founded in Auckland in 1855 with separate associations established around the country throughout the later nineteenth century. After forming a trans-Tasman National Council in 1886, a separate New Zealand Council was created in 1916. This souvenir booklet makes good use of photographic blocks and studio portraits reprinted from various magazines such as Sporting & Dramatic News and Freelance. As the acknowledgements note, both Commercial Printing Co and the paper merchants John Dickinson & Co. made liberal concessions to enable the completion of this important commemorative work.
