Old Fremantle: Photographs 1850-1950Old Fremantle covers the first hundred years of the camera in Fremantle. Over 240 early original photographs scanned and printed in color tell a vivid story of Fremantle from early interaction with the Aborigines through the development of port and town, the goldrushes and wars, to 1950. More than 25,000 words of text, which include commentary by Phillip Adams and George Seddon, background material, maps, and an index, make this a serious reference work as well as a visual delight for all ages. |
