Product Description
This handsome gift volume surveys in words and pictures the early and colorful history of the colonial outpost, the development of its extraordinary town plan, its dignified architecture, the city's 20th century decline and its recent renewal. The book contains some two hundred pictures - historic prints and maps and photographs of buildings - and eye-witness accounts of daily life and historic struggles.
Sunfade to the spine, although the book itself is still sealed in publisher's shrinkwrap.
