This is a tourism poster from the 1950s.

It shows a young Māori woman, partly silhouetted, wearing traditional clothing. She is swinging a poi, a ball attached to string, with her right hand. The motion of the swinging poi has produced an 'atom' design. She is wearing a greenstone (New Zealand jade) pendant, or hei tiki, around her neck. Two shadows of the woman in differing shades of blue are set against a grey-blue background. The words 'The canoe poi dance' appear at the top of the poster and 'See it in fascinating New Zealand' at the bottom.

Blank pages throughout.
