RARE 1893 Inaugural NZ Official Year-Book - First Ever Edition (With Folding Maps). An incredibly rare piece of New Zealand publishing history: the premier, inaugural 1893 edition of the New Zealand Official Year-Book. Compiled by the Registrar-General's Office, this historic first volume established the framework for all modern statistical tracking in NZ, offering an unparalleled look at the colony's demographics, early infrastructure, and late-Victorian development. This is the original Octavo edition bound in classic brown buckram boards, featuring ornate black decoration and elegant gilt lettering to both the front board and the spine. • Maps & Insert: Complete. Features the large folding map at the front (which has a minor tear restricted to the margin, not affecting the map image). Crucially, the second folding map and the large fold-out statistical summary chart are both present and in Very Good condition. Condition Report (Good Antique Condition): • Exterior: The cloth boards are rubbed, bumped, and marked from age. The corners and spine ends show standard heavy wear and minor chipping, but the spine remains solid. • Interior & Binding: The binding remains firm and structurally sound. The text block shows light natural tanning with foxing (age spotting) to the end-papers and the closed page edges. Features two neat previous owner stamps on the interior, one page has Errata slip tipped in on page 106. An exceptional, foundational cornerstone item for any serious collector of New Zealand history or antiquarian books.…
