Climb Every Mountain by Lester Hall

Postage stamp series print from Lester Hall celebrating mountaineer Ed Hillary. Hillary first appeared in Hall's work in his "Hories and Whities" series that questioned who is and who isn't Tangatawhenua. Hall wrote that "my artwork of Sir Edmund Hillary with TANGATAWHENUA tattooed up the side of this face became a clear beacon to me of the burning question - if Sir Ed is not tangatawhenua, then what "Whitie" can be?
