As the original document is pages long it was a challenge to create an image, which captures the essence of the document, what it means and alludes to the presence of the Cathedral. At its heart , for me, 'From the Letter Patent' is about a special time in the history of our city and reflected in the present. Includes Provenance, artist profile, art on card and in large envelope. The Christchurch Press archives Condition: Excellent
