La première histoire de Ballarat | F. W. Niven | Ballarat (état du Victoria, Australie) 1887 | 13.8 x 21.8 cm | Reliure de l'éditeur | Deuxième édition illustrée de 33 planches hors-texte, dont 23 en noir, 8 sur fond teinté, et 2 dépliantes en couleurs (panorama de la ville de Ballarat ; carte des gisements d'or), cf Ferguson VII, 18716. Aucun exemplaire au CCF. La table, p. xv, ne donne que 27 planches, parce qu'elle groupe les reproductions de documents concernant la révolte de 1854. Reliure de l'éditeur en pleine percaline grise, dos lisse et plats ornés de décors noirs et or, coiffes affaissées, gardes et contreplats de papier marron, charnières intérieures fendues, exemplaire un peu déboîté, une déchirure avec manque de papier sur la charnière intérieure du second plat, quelques petites rousseurs, . L'édition originale de cette précoce monographie de la ville de Ballarat (Etat de Victoria) parut en 1870. Cette cité avait été fondée seulement en 1850 à partir d'un ancien campement indigène, et son développement spectaculaire dut beaucoup à l'exploitation de gisements aurifères. Elle forme actuellement la troisième ville de l'Etat. L'ouvrage est très important aussi pour la connaissance de l'Eurêka stockade des années 1854-55. William Bramwell Withers (1823-1913), né en Angleterre, émigra au Natal en 1849, puis dans l'Etat de Victoria en 1852. Devenu journaliste à Melbourne, il se fixa à Ballarat en 1885 seulement, soit quinze ans après la parution de son ouvrage. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Second edition, illustrated with 33 plates outside the text, including 23 in black and white, 8 on tinted background, and 2 folding plates in colour (panorama of the city of Ballarat; map of the gold deposits), cf. Ferguson VII, 18716.No copy recorded in the CCF.The list of plates, p. xv, mentions only 27, as it groups together the reproductions of documents relating to the 1854 uprising.Publisher’s binding in full grey cloth, flat spine and covers decorated in black and gilt, headcaps worn, endpapers and pastedowns in brown paper, inner hinges split, slightly shaken copy, a tear with paper loss along the inner hinge of the lower board, some light foxing.The first edition of this early monograph on the city of Ballarat (State of Victoria) was published in 1870.The town had only been founded in 1850 on the site of a former Indigenous encampment, and its spectacular growth owed much to the exploitation of gold deposits.It is today the third largest city in the State.The work is also of great importance for the history of the Eureka Stockade of 1854–55. William Bramwell Withers (1823–1913), born in England, emigrated to Natal in 1849, then to Victoria in 1852. Having become a journalist in Melbourne, he settled permanently in Ballarat only in 1885, fifteen years after the publication of his book. * in-8 ; xx pp., 362 pp., 33 planches hors texte, dont 23 en noir, 8 sur fond teinté, et 2 dépliants en couleurs (panorama de la ville de Ballarat ; carte des gisements d'or).…
