The New Zealand Dictionary Building
Cartoon depicts a dilapidated brick building shaped like a book with birds perched on ledges and the sea eroding the foundations. It is labelled 'The New Zealand Dictionary' and there is a door at the bottom of the rounded spine. Scafolding for repairs seems to be abandoned.
