[Adelaide]

City of Adelaide. Parks, Gardens, and Children's Playgrounds. Issued by the Corporation, 1928 [cover title]

Adelaide, The Corporation of the City of Adelaide, 1928.

Oblong quarto (220 × 290 mm), [39] captioned full-page plates (printed rectos only).

Cord-bound hole-punched overlapping wrappers, with the edges expertly stabilised; trifling blemish to the top corner-tip of four consecutive leaves; an excellent copy of this unusual pictorial work, rare in our experience.

The last 12 plates depict playgrounds: the Glover Playground, South Terrace (4); the Glover Playground, North Adelaide (3); the West Terrace Playground (3); and the East Terrace Playground (2). Clearly visible at the entrance to the charming North Adelaide precinct are signs prohibiting both dogs and men.
