Item description from seller

Brisbane, Globe Printing Company and Colless Publicity Services, 1927. Quarto, 80 pages with numerous illustrations (including many portraits from photographs). Wrappers (printed in decorative type in two colours) slightly creased and marked; small puncture to the blank leading margin of the last half of the book; trifling signs of use; a very good copy. The future King George VI 'and his wife visited Australia as the Duke and Duchess of York in 1927. They were the royal representatives at the opening of the provisional Parliament House in Canberra on 9 May 1927. The couple arrived in Australia on 26 March and departed the country on 23 May' (National Archives of Australlia research guide on Royalty and Australian Society). The couple spent seven days in Queensland. An unusual feature of this publication is the large number of potted biographies (with portraits) of 'persons officially connected with the visit'.
