Beschreibung

Jacket has tattering to the edges, corners are lightly bumped, binding tight, internally clean w/the exception of a gift inscription. The Georgian buildings erected in Australia between 1788 and about 1849 were perhaps the finest product of the whole colonial period. Most have been heedlessly destryoed, but with the passage of time appreciation has grown of the beautiful proportions and simple elegance of the style, and today the examples that remain have acquired an irreplaceable value. This book contains over 100 photographs by Max Dupain of the best surviving Georgian buildings in New South Wales and Tasmania, the two States old enough to have architecture of the period. These houses, churches and bridges, the work of architects like Francis Greenway, John Verge, James Blackburn and John Lee Archer, are splendidly shown here. Max Dupain's feeling for their mellowness of texture and simplicity of line is expressed in a truly dazzling series of plates. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 240211025
