The Shedifice - A Glimpse into New Zealand's Political History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early days of New Zealand's political landscape. Known as "The Shedifice" this iconic building served as the country's first Parliament in Auckland, circa 1860. The structure, with its simple yet striking architecture, stands proudly against the backdrop of a rapidly developing city. During its operational years from May 1854 to 1865, this historic site witnessed crucial debates and decisions that shaped the nation. It was here that politicians deliberated over matters of governance and legislation, laying down the foundations for a democratic society. As we gaze upon this image captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we are transported to an era long gone but not forgotten. The horizontal composition emphasizes both the grandeur and modesty of this significant landmark. With nobody present in the frame, it allows us to imagine ourselves stepping into history itself. However, time moves on relentlessly, and so did New Zealand's seat of government. In 1865, Wellington became the new capital (then known as Port Nicholson), marking a pivotal moment in national politics. Today, while no longer serving its original purpose as a parliamentary building, "The Shedifice" remains an enduring symbol of New Zealand's rich heritage and political evolution. This print serves as a testament to our collective journey towards progress while honoring those who laid its very foundation.
