- George Chance: Photographs

Dunedin Public Art Gallery 1985 Soft Cover. Best known for his sepia-toned photographs of the New Zealand rural landscape in the 1920s and 30s, Chance (1885-1963) was the most popular photographer this country has known. He sold over 30,000 prints in his day and most found their place on the walls of New Zealand homes. Chance came to New Zealand in 1909 to work as an optometrist for the Dunedin firm Dawsons Limited and brought with him a considerable knowledge of cameras and photography. The exhibition was organised by the Dunedin Public Art Gallery with the assistance of the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council of New Zealand. The national itinerary 1986-87 was organised by the New Zealand Art Gallery Directors' Council. To accompany the exhibition the Gallery has published, with the assistance of the QEII Arts Council of New Zealand, a fully illustrated catalogue featuring an essay by Wellington expert William Main.
