New Zealand Capping Magazines Gallery

University Capping magazines were published in New Zealand from the early decades of the twentieth century through to the last decades although to the best of my knowledge have now ceased publication. Each annual publication featured writing, illustration, cartoons, comics and photos with of a satirical nature. Neville Colvin, Tom Scott, Nevile Lodge, Sid Scales, and Bob Brockie were amongst many of New Zealand's finest cartoonists with work featured in capping magazines.
