Edward Gibbon Wakefield was English, as were most of the initiators of the New Zealand Company. Not surprisingly, over 80% of those assisted to migrate by the company were English, as were those who migrated after 1850 with the help of the Canterbury Association. This poster offered assistance for suitable immigrants to Canterbury. Those interested were asked to apply to the office in London.
