How is a city - any - city - perceived through time by those who live there, and those who visit? A City and Its Setting explores this question by looking at Perth, Western Australia, across time and through the interplay between image and artefacts.
The authors examine the site and its subsequent changes from a group of tents in the bush to a small colonial village, a convict town, then down through the years of the gold book, World War I and the post-war boom of the 1950s, to the 1980s.
