Copyright and Publication Page from a Literary Work

This is a digital image of a copyright and publication history page, likely from a book published in the mid-20th century. The text is printed in a clean, black serif typeface on a light-colored, off-white or cream paper stock. The layout is centered and vertically oriented, displaying a detailed publication chronology. Key text identifies the publisher as A. H. & A. W. Reed, with office locations listed in Wellington, Auckland, and Artarmon, New South Wales. The publication history notes the work was first published in 1946, with multiple subsequent reprintings and editions reaching up to 1967. This specific copy appears to be the 1967 reprint of the third (revised and enlarged) edition from 1961. The copyright is held by Literary Publications Ltd. Below the publishing details, a simple dedication reads 'TO MY MOTHER' in uppercase letters. The image shows some digital noise and compression artifacts, but the paper appears to be in fair physical condition with no significant staining, foxing, or tears visible in this section. The typography and printing style are characteristic of mid-century Oceanic publishing house standards, specifically those of New Zealand and Australia.
