Beschreibung

Uncommon early Australian photographic view book of 1930s Melbourne at night, ranging from elegant images such as 'Henley on the Yarra' depicting fireworks over the city, to a more gritty image of a tradesman asleep on a pile of wares at the market, beneath a sign warning of pickpockets. The images show the influence of Paul Morand's 'Paris de Nuit', a photographic study of the City of Light at night, which was published the previous year. The images are evocative-- depictions of different parts of Melbourne, many late night car lined street views without many pedestrians, including: Collins Street, Ridgway Place, fog over the city, the Public Library, the Eastern Market, Melbourne Under the Moon, Swanston Street, the Alexandra Gardens, and Chinatown. 4to, [31] pp, b&w printed photographic illustrations throughout. In the original pictorial paper wrappers, price struck out at upper corner, wrappers vertically creased and rubbed at edges; ink presentation inscription at title page, signed Una Longmire. Despite signs of wear, this view book is in good + condition. Trove 7682268 records 5 copies. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 25830
