Description du livre Soft cover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. Large size card cover, Excellent clean copy, light cover wear, hint of cover edge wear, illustrated throughout with colour and b&w photographs, maps and drawings. Auckland Before the Harbour bridge. There has never been a book on Auckland like this before - a pictorial look in time that puts the reader in the picture at a glance. The following pages show how the Auckland isthmus developed and grew since the city was founded in September 1840. It covers the first 120 years of European settlement from basic timber dwellings to the building of the harbour bridge. it takes you on a journey along familiar streets back to when they were little more than mud or metal tracks only trodden by the horse. It portrays the harbour graced with t5he pioneer wooden-crafted yachts, the old paddle-steamer ferryboats and visiting luxury passenger liners when Auckland was a South pacific outpost before mass-market air travel. it shows the inner suburbs of today that were in the country before the harbour bridge was built; the electric trams that were lords of the road before the motorcar became the dictator of Auckland's streets and life.
