Shooting Folly As It Flies

The Life and Lines of New Zealand's First Political Cartoonist James Brown

by Ian Dougherty

Shooting Folly As It Flies is the first biography of New Zealand's first political cartoonist, the Dunedin engraver and artist, James Brown, and reproduces all of his surviving cartoons, many of which have not previously been published. They constitute what the book describes as 'a rare visual record of and a remarkable and enduring commentary on the factional and fickle world of settler politics in Dunedin and Otago in the 1850s and 1860s, which would have been duplicated in settlements throughout New Zealand.
