It contains 226 original photographs from the earliest days of photography to the eve of the Great War, depicting the move from mid-nineteenth century depression to Edwardian vitality. However, the charm of many of the scenes still does not disguise the real poverty which existed alongside middle-class gentility. The photographs have all been researched individually by the authors and the text contains much information that has remained unpublished until now. The book is a 'must' for all those interested in tracing the character of Poole as it progressed from the 'Age of Sail' into the twentieth century.* A NEAR FINE copy with NO MAJOR FAULTS. Reduced by dust jacket wear & minor faults to VG+.* 1981-01-01.
