Carr, Francis

Entry updated 21 October 2024. Tagged: Author.

(1834-1894) UK businessman and author of Archimago: (or the New Zealander on the Ruins of London Bridge. A Satirical Work, Commencing I, Jno, formerly of the U. K. of G. B., etc) (1864 3vols), which uses the familiar image of the New Zealander to frame two visions of London's future: in the first, horseless carriages and flying vehicles manifest the commercial and Technological glories of Empire to come; in the second, the New Zealander is given a sight of 1964 rather on the lines of Gustave Doré's famous etching of 1872.
