OLVESTON – PORTRAIT OF A HOME
Commissioned by Olveston Historic Home and Published by Massey University Press, Olveston: Portrait of a Home is a richly illustrated tribute to Dunedin’s architectural gem. The book pairs Jane Ussher’s evocative photography with compelling storytelling by writer John Walsh, capturing the grandeur and warmth of the Theomin family's historic residence.
Originally featured in Ussher’s acclaimed Rooms: Portraits of Remarkable New Zealand Interiors, Olveston inspired this dedicated volume. “The Theomins were avid collectors with an adventurous and enquiring eye,” Ussher says. “The images I took in 2022 left a lasting impression— when I was invited by Olveston to create a book solely about the house I leapt at the chance”.
We can’t wait to share this beautiful new chapter in Olveston’ s story with you.
