Title: Sheep and Wool in New South Wales, with History and Growth of the Pastoral Industry of the Colony As Regards Both These Items of Production. Published by Authority of the New South Wales Commissioners for the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893
Description: Sydney, Charles Potter, Government Printer, 1893. First separate edition (initially published in "Wealth and Progress of New South Wales"); 8 3/4 x 5 1/2; pp. [3], 4-23; salmon-colored wraps, printed in black and decorated with a small vignette; illustrated with a frontis chart in color and numerous tables; a bit of spotting mostly to margins of wraps, not affecting readability; closed cut to top edge; old crease lines to lower corner; in good to very good condition. As New South Wales was the only state to represent on a grand scale Colonial Australia at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the booklet was specifically prepared for that world fair and contained history and detailed information on sheep farming and wool production, trade and export, etc. OCLC lists one copy at The British Library; none in the trade (as of September 2021). Very good .
