Description

Goldfields of Otago an illustrated History by John Hall-Jones. Second Impression 2005. This book has received a heavy knock to the edge of the cover boards and the resulting damage along the covers edges is a 25mm crescent shaped fold on some of the page edges. The book however remains tight and pages bright. 'Fascinated by the story of Otago's gold rushes John Hall-Jones tramped its goldfields for over 30 years, photographing old gold batteries and sites. More recently he had been unearthing old photographs of the diggings from private collections, local and national museums. He had also the advantage of his great-grandfather's (surveyor J. T. Thomson's) early paintings of the goldfields. The end result is an outstanding collection of over 300 historical photographs and paintings of the Otago goldfields, many of which have never been published before.' The font cover has some sun-fading but the book remains tight and bright.
