This charming print captures a moment of 1960s culture at the Heretaunga Hastings A&P Show, with its vibrant crowds and classic mid-century theme park atmosphere. Among the attractions, you’ll spot the familiar outlines of the Ghost Train and Mirror Maze, quietly inviting visitors to step into a world of lighthearted 1960s fun. The gentle motion of the Swing Ride and Umbrella Ride adds a sense of movement to the scene, while the Pirate Ship evokes a hint of adventure in the distance. Together, these elements create a nostalgic and understated tribute to a beloved community event.

Captured in the Hawkes Bay by R. Coad for the National Publicity Studios, this photograph was part of a larger effort to promote New Zealand through photography, art, and design.
