There was no evidence to support Hunter being a founding member of the NZ Graphic - founded by Henry Brett in 1890. The Auckland Graphic only lasted five weeks in 1876 and it is also not clear that Hunter was involved from the sources that were linked. Ian Grant's book has been physically checked and reference to that updated. Tags: references removed Visual edit |
