Mark Twain in Dunedin

Mark Twain in Dunedin

In 1895 Mark Twain, the prominent American writer, visited New Zealand on a lecture tour. His lecture in the city hall in Dunedin was such a success that he decided to stay and give a repeat performance rather than travel to see the southern lakes. This sketch of Twain performing on the occasion is by William Mathew Hodgkins.
