Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Canberra, although generally considered a new city, was first settled in 1823 by Lieutenant Joshua John Moore.

This volume, which is superbly illustrated with twenty-four pages of black and white plates, holds something of interest for everyone. ** The book has foxing at the edges**.
