Quarto, with full page copper plate engravings throughout; original pink papered boards, preserved in a blue folding quarter morocco bookform box. First edition, first issue of Australia's first work devoted to architecture, showing the Georgian heritage of Sydney at a time when it was a city of just 50,000 inhabitants: "invaluable for the early topography of Sydney" (Ferguson). Joseph Fowles arrived in Sydney in 1838 and this is without doubt his most important work, providing remarkably detailed information on the buildings of the city at mid-century. As Morton Herman puts it, "the Sydney he records was a lovely colonial town of clean, chaste Georgian architecture. Whole streets were pleasant compositions of harmonious buildings, few of them over three storeys high, all clearly designed, well mannered and an orderly delight to the eye." (Foreword to the facsimile edition of 1963). Published by subscription, this work consists of forty "Copperplate Engravings of the Principal Streets, Public Buildings, Churches, Chapels, Etc". Fowles stated that its express purpose was "to remove the erroneous and discreditable notions connected with the Colony". It is one of the rarer Australian illustrated books, whilst its importance to architectural history is without rival. No further such detailed study appeared for at least fifty years. This work was re issued in 1878 with the text reset, and has been reprinted many times over. This first edition is greatly enhanced by its forty fine copper-engravings produced in Sydney. It was first issued in parts (an almost impossible rarity today): this is its first appearance in bookform, here in the first issue (with a sheet of reviews and advertisements, omitted from later issues, following the title-page). These illustrations were engraved by W. Harris from original drawing done by Fowles and were well received by the press as "superior to any previous attempts at representing Sydney as it really is. " (Bell's Life in Sydney). Throughout his life Fowles taught as well as practised art. He was in charge of the training and examination of art teachers for the National Board of Education from 1854 until 1867 when the board was succeeded by the Council of Education. It was largely through his efforts that drawing was being taught in every government school in New South Wales by the surprisingly early date of 1869. He was also drawing master at a number of private schools, including The King's School, Sydney Grammar, Sydney High and Camden College, as well as at the Sydney Mechanics School of Arts (lessons £1 a quarter). .

hardcover. Condition: very good. Sydney, printed by D. Wall . published by J. Fowles [1848-49]. Quarto contemporary half straight grain calf and marbled sides (much of the spine missing but still solid); 40 plates. Browning and offsetting - the street elevations are most affected - and some minor signs of use but a very decent copy. One of the minor signs of use in this copy can be counted as a bonus: someone has neatly annotated several plates in pencil, identifying and updating the names and owners of various buildings. These annotations look to be about forty years later. First edition and bound from parts; this was issued in twenty fortnightly parts and as a book on completion. The last time I checked there was one known complete set in parts. This copy is without the advertisement leaf which, in the incomplete set of parts in the Mitchell Library, came with part four. Fowles is celebrated for his pictorial record of a Sydney - a charming Georgian colonial town - not fictional but understandably positive; this is not social reform. But the book is also a surprisingly good read. He has an often breezy style and does not shy from expressing opinion. There is a laconic account of the burning of the old Royal Hotel and the providential arrival of officers straight from the governor's ball: "by levelling several tenements . Lieut. Lugard, in all probability, saved the Victoria theatre". His description of Hughes' new Royal is equally amusing. Everyone called this a rare and invaluable book, from Ferguson to Wantrup, who in 1987 noted this as "a rare book [which] might, with patience, be obtained for about $4000" (Australian Rare Books). Even booksellers offering reprints without doing their homework call it rare and invaluable. If you've been patiently waiting since 1987 to prove Wantrup wrong now's your chance. *This item might cost more to post than quoted by abe.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Mist drifts over the sandstone facades and bustling wharves, while narrow streets wind through a city still forging its identity at the edge of empire. Here, the pulse of nineteenth-century Australia is captured in intricate detail, offering a rare, immersive glimpse into the rhythms, architecture, and spirit of colonial Sydney life. Every page radiates with the energy of a city in transformation-its elegant terraces, crowded marketplaces, and harbour vistas rendered with both precision and warmth. Through evocative illustrations and carefully observed descriptions, the text brings to life the daily realities of early Sydney, from its grand public buildings to the hidden corners of old Sydney streets, inviting readers to witness the birth of Australian urban history and the subtle interplay of cultures, ambitions, and landscapes. This work stands apart as a singular document of Australian social history, blending artistry and accuracy to reveal the foundations of a modern metropolis. Its pages are a testament to the aspirations and challenges of a community carving out its place amid the raw beauty and complexity of the continent. The narrative lingers on the textures of colonial architecture in the 1800s, the shifting boundaries of city development, and the enduring traces of Australian heritage that still shape the city's character. For anyone drawn to Sydney's cultural history or the evolution of its built environment, the book remains both a visual and literary window into a formative era. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, offering a lasting connection to the origins of one of Australia's most iconic cities.
