Transport & Engineering Art, Design & Photography Australiana
Railway Stations of Australia, the 1982 hardcover collaboration between photographer Rennie Ellis and writer Andrew Ward, frames the nation’s grand and forgotten depots as living works of art. Every plate pairs Ellis’s crisp architectural images with Ward’s concise cultural notes, turning what could be a simple transportation survey into a stylish travelogue for rail buffs, design lovers and Australiana collectors.
This first-edition copy arrives with its original dust jacket and all illustrations intact; pages are crisp, unmarked and tightly bound. A small surface tear on the front inner cover and a single photo-tipped page are the only gentle reminders of its journey from a smoke-free home to yours.
Ideal for fans of railway history, mid-century photography or Australian heritage, the book slips easily into a shelf of transport classics or becomes a striking coffee-table accent. Searchers of vintage trains, station architecture and Antipodean culture will find this illustrated volume a ready conversation starter.
