THIS IS AUSTRALIA

by Oswald Ziegler

  • Used
  • Hardcover

This is a functionally sound copy of the introduction to Australia published at that postwar era when interest in emigration to that continent was peaking. Like a high school yearbook for a continent.  Nice job, great photography, in lush colors.

Photos on request.
