Western Images : Western Australia in pictures from the colonial era to the present

DESCRIPTION

AuthorAusten, Tom, authorDescriptionIn this volume we see our history unfolding over time through the eyes of the many perceptive photographers. Most are from The West Australian and their work as a whole has resulted in a Photographic collection that is an irreplaceable record of our past. Milestones, landmark developments, key social change, architecture, people of influence, important visitors, unusual personalities, sports' achievers all unfold in these pages. So, too, do natural and human disasters upswings and downturns, misadventure, the clash of cultures, wars, fashion, new technology, politics and a host of other subjects. The pictures appearing inside come almost entirely from the resources of The West Australian which, as the second-oldest continuously produced newspaper in Australia, has chronicled events that make up this living history, dating back to its antecedent, the Perth Gazette in 1833. With its wealth of textual information, Western Images offers a fascinating look at both past and present, one that will delight all tastes and age groups.
