Colour illustrated dustwrapper, being a reproduction of the painting by Tom Roberts "Opening of the First Federal Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia", with white, red and black coloured titles to the front panel and black coloured titles to the back strip. This book covers an immense panorama from the South African veldt to the battlefields of the Somme, from the Constitutional Convention of the late nineteenth century to the peace conference of 1919, from the first empire day in 1985 to the slaughter at Gallipoli, from a leisurely Edwardian cruises "home" to Ross Smith's extraordinary London -- Melbourne flight in 1919. Running through all these events, and through the evolving character of the "independent Australian Briton", were the dual sentiments of imperial and national loyalty. Where the tribes are central Australia devoted their rites of passage to such totems as emu and native cat, the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic Tribes of Melbourne and Sydney devoted many affairs to the lion and the kangaroo. Here is the initiation of Australia. Rubbing of the book corners and back strip edges. Age toning of the text block edges and lighter age toning of the pages. Rubbing of the dustwrapper edges and panels with fading of the back strip and a little to either side of the back strip. There is 1/4 inch tear to the top left hand corner of the front panel.
