Narrative batiks by Dinah Priestley and Tony Burton.

Exhibiting our batiks at NZ’s Embassies in London and Paris in 1980, was fun. Our exhibition included the  glorious scientific   voyages of  our great hero, Captain James Cook.

Finding the batiks rather exotic, even Galleries Lafayette in Paris purchased several of them.   I think these ones of Cooks first and last voyages, between 1768 and 1780 ,would make rather good stamps. They’re the right shape.
