Auckland's John Leech Gallery was established in 1855 by Manchester born, John Leech. Following his death in 1879 the gallery continued to flourish under the management of his son Harold, whom Goldie dedicated this to in his inscription.
Harold Leech died in 1945 at the age of 87. In 1946 Allan Swinton, Gilbert Meadows and Howard Newcomb purchased the gallery.
