About This Item
Sydney / Melbourne: Melbourne University Press / Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales, 1992. Paperback small quarto, very good condition, black & white & colour text-photos, faint foxing inside covers & edges, minor edgewear. 194 pp. This beautiful and authoritative book of essays is about life in a new society - its architecture and literature, political and economic development, and the fine and decorative arts in Sydney Town when lachlan Macquarie was governor. The unique achievement is to create from the burgeoning diversity an exciting and vivid picture of early Australian colonial history. The many illustrations make this a very interesting way to learn about our early history. Edited by James Broadbent and Joy Hughes on behalf of the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales.
