Henry Charles Goffin (1885-1973) was an internationally renowned bandmaster, choir leader and composer whose direction of the Salvation Army in both musical and spiritual activities in Wellington, then Australasia, was inspiring and of lasting impact. He was father of the noted brass band player, conductor, and composer, Norman Goffin. This fanciful rendering of a WWI North Sea naval engagement between "OHMS New Zealand" and the "Blucher" is by the artist "I.R." and features imitative typography of hawser and knotwork. This second edition was published by the Wellington-based Henry Warren Kelly.
