Wellington at Work in the 1890s by Beverley Randell

ISBN: 9781877448607 PUBLISHER: Steele Roberts & Associates Ltd FORMAT: Hardback PAGES: 48 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.05.2009 DIMENSIONS: 276mmX210mm

DESCRIPTION: Wellington at Work in the 1890s is compiled from two rich sources: illustrations from four beautifully produced posters that came out in 1895 as supplements to the New Zealand Times, and supporting text from the 1897 Cyclopedia of New Zealand. The result is a colourful account of late Victorian life, with some intriguing facts - did you know that a shipyard in Manners Street built ocean-going steamships, or that a Lambton Quay chemist produced chocolate-flavoured worm tablets for ailing Wellingtonians? This is the companion volume to last year's book Old Wellington in Colour.
