Description

Auckland Through a Victorian Lens by William Main

Auckland Through a Victoria Lens is composed of 250 carefully selected images from 1850 through to 1914. The book is divided into three sections ? Faint impressions: – photos of the fledgling settlement of Auckland as it finds its feet, Image Resolved: – incorporates the expansion into what was then known as the suburbs as the city established itself on a solid footing and Picture Defined:- points to the end of the era and the emergence of the city proper. William Main has through the use of photos produced a history following the development of Auckland from Settlement to city, the memorable landmarks, many now not with us, others having undergone such change as to now be unrecognizable, others that are still ?just there?. An interesting book for the historian, an enjoyable and nostalgic browse for those who wish to be well informed and have a feel for what has become Auckland.
