Produced for the Gisborne Cook Bicentenary Committee, Landfall marks two hundred years since Captain Cook’s 1769 visit to the East Coast of New Zealand. Text and photographs by Robert and John Logan connect accounts of Cook at Poverty Bay, Anaura Bay and Tolaga Bay with a portrait of Gisborne and its surroundings in 1969. Historical quotations, maps and illustrations sit alongside photographs of coastal scenery, local activities and community life, creating a commemorative view of the region across time. The booklet reflects the language and perspective of its anniversary celebrations, making it both a regional pictorial record and a historical document in its own right. Readers interested in Tairāwhiti, Cook commemorations and changing representations of New Zealand history will find a distinctive period publication.
