In 1929 the Village of Howick had shaken off its origins as a Fencible settlement — built for retired British soldiers and their families — and had become a town in its own right. This detailed district map captures Howick’s streets, sections, and shoreline at a moment when the gulf was still the main road and Pakuranga was just a neighbour.

Made for a Howick or east Auckland home — particularly striking in a lounge or hallway where the warm cream and ochre tones can do their work. This map especially suits interiors that lean Scandinavian or coastal.

It makes a perfect gift for the east Aucklander with long roots in the area, and a thoughtful housewarming or birthday gift for anyone who grew up on those streets and would get a quiet thrill seeing them rendered in 1929 ink.

This map comes in a 8 × 10 aspect and we offer two different finishing options. Please choose from the following selection to make it your own.

Acrylic Print

Perfect for any room where gallery quality is optimal, our Acrylic Prints are also ideal for bathrooms and wet areas.

Your map will be printed in our boutique print studio on Kodak Professional substrate using archival inks, and then mounted in-house on crystal clear acrylic for a back-lit appearance and unrivaled vibrancy.

Finally, it will be seamed with 4mm ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) for a modern frameless finish. A custom hanger is attached before the print is securely packaged and sent to you, ready to hang on your wall.

ACM Wall Art

Our ACM Wall Art prints are sleek and non-reflective. Your photograph will be printed in our boutique print studio on Kodak Professional Paper using archival inks and then mounted in-house on 4mm ACM. A custom hanger is attached before the print is securely packaged and sent to you, ready to hang on your wall.
