First edition: quarto; hardcover, with green upper board title label and decorated endpapers; 147pp., with many monochrome plates. Mild wear; rubbing and wear to lower board edges; corners scraped; browning to endpapers; browned and spotted text block edges. Dustwrapper with two small missing segments on upper front and rear panels with some general scraping to edges and corners; now backed by archival-quality white paper and professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Very good. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. This book contains over one hundred 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 shown here. Morton Herman has written a commentary on Australian Georgian architecture, and notes on the individual buildings illustrated; and Marjorie Barnard and Daniel Thomas have contributed brief social histories of New South Wales and Tasmania.
