| 説明 | On 15 October 1877, Sir George Grey (1812-1898) became Premier of New Zealand. Grey dominated New Zealand’s political landscape for much of the nineteenth century, and served twice as Governor and as a Member of Parliament before becoming Premier at the age of 65. His first term as Governor was recreated in the iconic 1970s TVNZ series ‘The Governor’ www.nzonscreen.com/title/the-governor-episode1-1977 Grey had retired from political life after his second term as Governor during the years of the New Zealand Land Wars, however he returned to politics to fight the abolition of the provinces during the late 1870s. Grey was elected to Premier in 1877 and led a comparatively liberal government, passing trade union legislation and advocating electoral reform. His tenure as Premier was contentious and short-lived however, and he was ousted from his position in an early election in 1879. Grey died in 1898 in London.This photograph of Grey is one of four images within the file and comes from the Patent and Copyright series held at Archives New Zealand.
