[Barossa Valley]

The Barossa District. Souvenir. Gawler-Angaston Railway Opening [cover title]

Angaston, 'Barossa News' Limited (printed by Hussey and Gillingham, Adelaide), 1911.

Quarto, 120 pages, extensively illustrated (including many pictorial advertisements).

Three-colour pictorial title-wrappers (with additional advertising on the other three surfaces); expert conservation to the wrappers (small chips infilled, and discoloured tape removed, albeit leaving behind some stains); later ownership name on the front cover; minimal signs of age and use elsewhere; overall, in very good condition.

A very rare item of local history, with content that is far more substantial than its title suggests: for example, there are thirteen pages of well-illustrated text devoted to the fruit and vine industries.
