Kia ora,

We’re getting in touch on behalf of Dinah Priestley and her family to share the following invitation to celebrate the launch of An Eccentric History in Batik. It has been a privilege for our team to help bring this extraordinary book to life, and we’re thrilled to see it heading out into the world.

With thanks,
Mary Egan Publishing

Dearest friends,

We are delighted to invite you to the launch of Dinah’s wonderful book, An Eccentric History in Batik.

It’s a beautifully produced retrospective of Dinah and Tony’s artwork over the decades, suffused with their warmth, intelligence, and sharp satirical eye.

Dinah and Tony documented social events happening around them, so the book serves as a colourful personal history of New Zealand. It is also a love letter from Dinah to her man.

It’s an incredible achievement, and we would love you to come and celebrate with us. Details are below.

We understand that, for those of you far-flung, it may be too tricky to attend in person, but we know you will be with us in spirit. As will Tony!

Hope to see you there.

Much love,
Dinah, Nikki, Justine, Tandi, Stephanie and Victoria.
