Welcome to our final newsletter of the year. 2022 has hurtled by so very quickly and has been full of wonderful, stimulating and important book projects. Even so, we are all looking forward to a summer break. But first, there is one more book to launch! Do please read on and thank you for your support and interest over the past year. We look forward to sharing more terrific books with you in 2023.

Te Papa Press was very sad to learn from Audrey Eagle’s daughter Alison that her mother died last week, at the great age of 97. Audrey was a renowned botanical illustrator whose monumental two-volume book Eagle’s Complete Trees and Shrubs of New Zealand won both the Montana Medal for Non-fiction and the Illustrative Book section of the Montana New Zealand Book Awards in 2007. It is a book of which Te Papa Press has always been enormously proud, and it is a mighty legacy. Kua hinga te tōtara o Te Waonui a Tāne.
Te Papa botanist Heidi Meudt has written a blog tribute to Audrey here.

At last! A book to accompany Te Papa’s ground-breaking exhibition Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War. Over three million visitors have been through the exhibition since it opened seven years ago but until now there has never been a companion book. Well, here it is, an information-packed overview of both the campaign and the exhibition developed in partnership with Wētā Workshop that tells the story of those caught up in it.
It’s written by Christopher Pugsley, Sir Richard Taylor, Puawai Cairns and Michael Keith, all of whom bring their insights and expertise to the task. With over 250 images and maps, and fold outs of all six of the exhibition’s ‘giants’, we think this is a must-have.

- Reviewed in the Summer 2022 Edition of Art New Zealand: “reading the book is as close to a multi-media experience that the printed page can produce, and a complete biography emerges: life, art, faith, relationships, experiences."
