History Australiana Architecture & Interior Design
From Dusk Till Dawn: A History of Australian Lighthouses by Gordon Reid charts the rugged coastlines and isolated towers that guided mariners around the continent. This 1988 hardcover blends architectural photography, local history, and maritime culture into a vivid portrait of Australia’s coastal heritage.
The 264-page volume arrives with its original dust jacket and crisp illustrations, all pages clean and binding tight after three decades. A previous owner has added a neat gift inscription, while three tiny dog-ear folds serve as gentle reminders of well-traveled reading.
Collectors of Australiana, nautical reference, or coastal photography will value this vintage title for both shelf presence and research depth. Reid’s authoritative narrative suits young adults curious about lighthouse life as much as adults seeking authoritative Australian history.
Ships from a smoke-free home in good vintage condition, ready to anchor any collection focused on architecture, maritime culture, or the enduring romance of Australian lighthouses.
