Cleave's Directories

In 1889 Arthur Cleave (1862?-1933) established his
high-profile printing business in Auckland and
developed a reputation as a significant colonial
publisher. Until 1912, Cleave produced highly popular
titles such as the New Zealand Sporting and Dramatic
Review and the Auckland Provincial Directory, one of
just three main directories produced in New Zealand.
He also produced important new publications, such
as the New Zealand Illustrated Magazine which
included contributions from noted New Zealand
writers and illustrators.
