Rilegato. Zustand: ottimo. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: ottimo. prima edizione, edizione illustrata. (Historic buildings of Australia 3). When European immigrants settled in Australia they built houses in styles remembered from their homeland, and in varying degrees tempered them with practical and artistic adaptations to suit their new environment. Gradually styles developed which were characteristically Australian. In this volume, the third in the series Historic Buildings of Australia' published in conjunction with the Australian Council of National Trusts, thirty-seven of Australia's historic houses are described and superbly illustrated. Chronologically the selection covers a hundred years from 1790 (Old Government House, Parramatta) to 1890 (Government House, ACT). Stylistically the houses range from the simple Jolimont in Melbourne, through houses of Georgian tradition to Gothic houses, such as Vaucluse in Sydney, and mansions of the Victorian land boom. As well as houses of distinctive European lineage the coverage includes early examples of styles now regarded as traditionally Australian, such as Ralahyne, a fine instance of the Queensland development of a house on stilts surrounded by a splendid verandah. Then there are houses unique in themselves, for example the elaborate mansion of Illawarra in Melbourne, built in the last frenzied years of the land boom. The hopes and ideals of some of Australia's leading families were expressed in these houses and this volume is a valuable contribution to the architectural story of Australia's houses, and gives a glimpse of the life within.

Rilegato. Zustand: ottimo. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: quasi ottimo. prima edizione, edizione illustrata. (Historic buildings of Australia 2). A nation's history is inevitably reflected in its public, or civic buildings. Australia's public buildings—its parliament houses, town halls, court houses, gaols, customs houses, barracks and other civic buildings-reflect very directly the rapid expansion and increasing wealth of European settlement during the nineteenth century. This second volume in the series Historic Buildings of Australia' provides ample proof of the extent of the early settlers aspirations. Wherever settlements were established, among the first permanent buildings to be raised were the government offices, the court houses and the military or police barracks-the nucleus of the new community and the essential requirement for the maintenance of law and order. Presented in chronological order by date of first construction, some forty buildings or groups of buildings are here described and superbly illustrated Coverage is Australia-wide-from the earliest public buildings still in existence (in Macquarie Street, Sydney, and in Hobart, Tasmania) via the grand civic buildings of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, to the equally historic and often unique buildings of Queensland and Western Australia. In addition to the better-known buildings (Victoria Barracks, the Sydney G.P.O., Melbourne's Exhibition Buildings) many lesser-known buildings are portrayed: among them the civic buildings of gold-mining and outback centres; an inland telegraph post; a Queensland railway station; a lighthouse and port complex and the early convict settlements at Norfolk Island and at Port Arthur.
