Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Old Australia needed people power. The farms and the factories were places of unremitting toil, usually sweaty and physically tiring.

The offices, the shops and the government services worked a six-day week. The luxuries of labour-saving devices and the resulting leisure time were not for these people. They worked long hours and then worked again at home.

The telling photographs of these working lives speak of a growing nation with a pioneering past.

Sepia photographs from the 1880s to the 1920s.
