Royal Show. New Show Grounds, Wayville West, Sept. 24 ... [to] Oct. 1, 1927. Railway Timetable [cover title]
Adelaide, Harrison Weir, Government Printer, 1927.
Royal duodecimo (207 × 125 mm), 60 pages with numerous illustrations and advertisements plus a folding advertising flap to the centrefold map of the show grounds and advertisements on three surfaces of the cover.
Saddle-stapled pictorial wrappers a little rubbed at the extremities, with slight loss to the head of the spine; minor signs of use and age; a very good copy.
'Railway Timetable' is misleading to a fault, with only nine pages devoted to the special Show Week excursion fares and timetable. for the rest, among numerous interesting period advertisements, there is a potted history of the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of SA, the programme for the current event, and 15 pages of illustrations (all from photographs) of the showgrounds and scenes of interest from around the state. One that caught our eye was the full-page image of the Wine Kiosk, 'occupied for the first time during the 1926 Show'.
