There is the haunting 1966 image of King Korokī being carried up the sacred Mt Taupiri in his cloak-covered coffin as the mist descends; Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay doing a spot of shopping in Wellington in 1971; another showing the hole ripped in the side of the Rainbow Warrior in 1985.
They are some of the country’s most storied photographs, depicting influential moments and people in the past 50 years of New Zealand history – and for the first time, a large collection has been pulled together in the name of charity.
