Since the pages of this sketchbook are watermarked 1814, its more intensely-coloured studies may document these effects which lasted for more than a year.

[. . .] The book explains the superiority of natural immunity over vaccine 'immunity' and how the New Zealand government has used fearmongering and intimidation to create a virus that in almost all cases is no worse than a bout of the flue so as to give it an excuse to exercise control over the lives and movements of five million people." - from blurb on rear cover. .

"From humble beginnings in 1879 until the time it merged with the Waterside Workers' Union in 2003 to become the Maritime Union of New Zealand, the New Zealand Seamen's Union played an integral and essential role in this country's seafaring industry.
