Eric Gill]]> Ian Rogerson]]> Southern Cross is a true graphic novel; all images and no text. Loosely based on the nuclear testing that took place on Bikini Atoll in the 1940s, the book was described by Rockwell Kent in the introduction as ‘a story of love and happiness culminating in immeasurable disaster’. It contains 118 images all printed from the original wood engravings by English-born Laurence Hyde (1914-87), who immigrated to Canada, aged 12. The multi-talented Hyde, a wood engraver, artist and film maker, designed postage stamps for Canada’s Postal Service. Southern Cross has a New Zealand connection; Hyde consulted Sir Peter Buck (Te Rangi Hiroa) on facts about Polynesia.]]> Laurence Hyde]]> Portraits]]> Lang, John Dunmore, 1799-1878]]> unknown]]> Image]]> Still Image]]> Wood engravings]]> Nineteenth century]]> Birds]]> McCahon, Colin]]> Reproduction permission courtesy of the Colin McCahon Research and Publication Trust.]]> Image]]> Still Image]]> Prints]]> Nineteen forties]]> Landscape]]> Cooke, Albert Charles, 1838-1902]]> Image]]> Still Image]]> Wood engravings]]> Dunedin (N.Z.)]]> Nineteenth century]]> unknown]]> Image]]> Wood engravings]]> Dunedin (N.Z.)]]> Portraits]]> Tāwhiao, King of the Māori, fl. 1860-1894]]> unknown]]> Image]]> Wood engravings]]> Baptism]]> Chapman, Thomas, 1792-1876]]> Cooper, G.
