Additional Information
Created around 1935 by Leonard Mitchell for the New Zealand tourist office, this poster promotes climbing at Aoraki, or Mount Cook, the country's highest peak. A roped party rests with ice axes and coiled rope, one woman gathering mountain lilies while the snowy summit fills the sky behind.
Mount Cook had become the heart of the nation's mountaineering, its glaciers and ridges a proving ground for adventurers from across the world. Guided parties set out from the hotel below, and the sport carried a whiff of daring that the tourist office was glad to sell.
New Zealand had opened its upland country to the world through the tourist department, which billed the peaks as a new-world rival to the Alps of Europe. Photographs and posters like this one turned raw landscape into a badge of homegrown pride.
Today this poster stands as a testament to the pioneer days of mountain tourism in New Zealand and offers a window into a peak that still tests the toughest climbers. Its shining snowfields and thin air make it a prized feature for a study, den, or hall.
