Prosperous Quorn, and Port Augusta, the Seaside Resort of South Australia
Adelaide, C.H. Wildy, Printer (for J. Edward Robinson), February 1909.
Large quarto, [20] pages with numerous illustrations (from photographs) plus illustrated text on the inside surfaces of the covers and an advertisement on the outside rear cover.
Pictorial card covers a little marked and lightly chipped, with the spine neatly reinforced at a later date with clear tape; trifling signs of use and age; an excellent copy.
Early regional advertorials probably don't come much better than this. Trove records only one copy, in the National Library of Australia. Provenance: 'Rev. Wm Roehrs, Bethany' is written in indelible pencil at the head of the front cover (Reverend Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Roehrs, circa 1888-1969).
