Description SECOND HAND BOOK Brian Carroll’s story of Melbourne, and the accompanying collection of historic illustrations and photographs, sees Melbourne through all its phases of prosperity and decline and discusses the causes: the gold rush, the irresponsible enterprise of the land and building boom of the 1880s, the subsequent bank crashes and depression of the 1890s, the stagnation of the 20th century and the late surge of the city to the proportions we know today. … Melbourne: An Illustrated History will surprise many Melburnians with the colour and vigour of the life it depicts, and with the fresh interest and romance it will lend to familiar scenes and landmarks. It is a book in which the proud Melburnian may see himself reflected. Specifications: Condition: Good/Fair. Evidence of light use on the cover, the pages are slightly yellowed.
