Education & Reference History Australiana
Before the Invasion: Aboriginal Life to 1788 by Isobel White offers a concise, illustrated window onto First Nations cultures on the continent just prior to European settlement. This 1981 Oxford paperback distils archaeological and ethnographic research into 109 reader-friendly pages, ideal for students, educators, and collectors of Australian history.
The volume carries the added charm of a warm personal inscription and an Ex Libris label, giving it a gently loved, one-of-a-kind character. While the text block remains clean and tight, expect a discreet stamp on the cover page and a neat ownership sticker inside the front board—minor reminders of its journey from a smoke-free home.
Vintage illustrated reference works on Aboriginal life seldom surface in personalised condition, making this copy a thoughtful gift for anyone passionate about Indigenous studies or pre-1788 Australia. Secure a piece of cultural heritage that sits equally well on a shelf of antiquarian Australiana or within a young adult learning library.
