A further 6 works with the title The New Zealanders have been identified, ranging from Craik's 1830 work (about Māori and discovery) to Maurice Shadbolt's collection of short stories, first published in 1959 and reissued several times, most recently in 1993. The photographer is unknown but the woman holding the books is identified as Allyson Burgoyne. (Evening Post Collection, Alexander Turnbull Library, reference number F-22718-35MM-EP)
