| Summary |
"With the approach of the first centenary of European settlement in Australia, a team of writers and artists was assembled to produce a monumental illustrated history of the Australasian colonies. The massive, three-volume Picturesque Atlas of Australasia was first published in Sydney between 1886 and 1888, and sold a remarkable 50,000 copies." "The story of the conceptualisation and publication of the Picturesque Atlas, as told by Tony Hughes-d'Aeth, offers us a window through which to see and understand late nineteenth-century Australian culture. As a history, the Atlas evokes the sentiments of an emerging nationalism. As a snapshot of 1880s Australia, it reveals a community acutely aware of finding itself in the midst of rapid modernisation."--BOOK JACKET |
