      ARTIST: LEONARD CORNWALL MITCHELL (1901-1971) SIZE: 26 x 39 1/2 in./66 x 100.3 cm PRINTER: G. H. Loney, Wellington DESCRIPTION: So convinced is New Zealand’s Tourist Department of the untouched splendor of Mount Egmont that all they ask of designer Mitchell is to show the rest of the world precisely what they’re missing. And what they’re missing is an active volcano also known as Taranaki that last erupted in 1755. Easily one of the most beautiful volcanic cones anywhere in the world, Mount Egmont is New Zealand's largest and most spectacular volcano. A national park since 1900, Taranaki is home to a number of beautiful walks through verdant forest to waterfalls, wetlands, and excellent elevated viewpoints.
