Why Size Matters: See New Zealand's History in Every Magnificent Detail

At Yesterday*, we’re passionate about bringing New Zealand’s past vividly to life. We believe that appreciating the depth and richness of historical photographs deserves more than a quick glance—it calls for immersion. That’s why we source prints that can be printed at large formats: to let the full story of each image shine through.

When you explore our collection, you’ll find a range of sizes thoughtfully curated to showcase the full scope of each moment. Larger prints reveal the textures, expressions, and architectural subtleties that often get lost in smaller prints. It’s in those details where the real magic—and historical insight—lives.

But choosing a larger print isn’t just about scale—it’s about impact. A grand image of the 1969 NZ Grand Prix or the tranquil Onetangi Beach in 1958 becomes more than a photograph; it becomes the centerpiece of a room. These pieces invite conversation, spark curiosity, and offer a deep visual connection to New Zealand’s heritage.

Imagine leaning in to spot individual faces in Queen Street 1967. Or picking out the elegant design flourishes of Marine Parade, Napier, 1951. Or even identifying the classic cars in 1975 Tokoroa sheep print. These are the kinds of discoveries our larger prints make possible.
