In 1922, Dunedin was finding its feet after the gold rush energy had settled into something more solid — a proper southern city, Scottish in its bones, with a harbour that reached deep into the peninsula. This map captures that moment.

This Dunedin and Vicinity survey covers the city and its harbour in full, the Otago Peninsula curling away to the east, the Taieri Plain opening to the south, and the hill suburbs already threading their way up the slopes in tightly packed sections. The tidal inlets and mudflats are picked out in soft teal — a cartographer's touch that gives the map its warmth — while the road and rail networks fan out from the city centre in every direction, including the tram routes still running at the time.

The Otago Harbour sits at the centre of it all, the reason for the city's existence, and the reason this particular view of Dunedin remains so immediately recognisable a hundred years on.

This map suits a home office or study, especially in a southern home. It would also hold its own in a professional setting — a law firm, an architectural practice, an accountant's office — anywhere that values a certain kind of quiet, substantive character.

The perfect gift for the Dunedin expat living in Auckland who still considers the south home. Also the Otago family with roots that go back several generations who have kept the habit of pointing out where their great-grandparents farmed.

This map comes in a 5 x 7 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.
