Helensville-born folk singer - and erstwhile
editor of Craccum - Peter Cape was as famous
for his beautifully produced art books as he
was for the classic kiwiana songs “Taumarunui
on the Main Trunk Line” and “All Black
Jerseys”. In the last decade of his short life he
published four surveys of New Zealand
painting and crafts based on interviews done
with artists as part of his job as arts and
religion editor at Radio New Zealand. Prints
and Printmakers in New Zealand was
published in 1974, during the heyday of
printmaking in New Zealand.
