This impeccably produced (no exaggeration) hardback volume features large-format reproductions of 72 photographs by
leading New Zealand photographer Laurence Aberhart. They provide an
almost-comprehensive record of fifty New Zealand ‘Digger’ memorials (those
featuring statues rather than abstract sculpture), and a representative range
of their Australian counterparts.

Laurence Aberhart will be published in April 2014 to coincide with the opening of a
