Summary

[edit]
Description

The above photo is from Archives New Zealand's National Publicity photo collection. The photo was taken in January 1965, the photographer was Mr. Hill.

Mitre Peak is close to the shore of Milford Sound, in the Fiordland National Park in the southwestern South Island of New Zealand. It rises to 1,692 metres from the water of the sound (more technically a fjord), it is actually a closely grouped set of five peaks, although from most easily accessible viewpoints it appears as a single point.

The National Publicity Studios were established in 1945, but its beginnings can be traced back to the establishment in 1924 of a Publicity Office - part of the Department of Internal Affairs. The emphasis of this Publicity Office was on films, photographs and booklets.

The purpose of the National Publicity Studios was to provide advice to government departments and state agencies on the provision of photographic, art, and display services and in particular to assist in the production of publicity material aimed at conveying a favourable image of New Zealand.
