This case was made in 1835 for William Colenso, as described in McKenzie: Oral culture, literacy & print in early New Zealand (1985). Because the Maori language uses less characters than English, only 72 boxes are needed, rather than the normal 98, and the case thus manages to include roman, small caps and italic. The actual type lay is Maori Upper and the companion Lower is Maori Lower .
