Key Features:
- Includes four full-page historical plates, featuring three portraits of early pioneering ministers and a view of the historic first Methodist chapel in Melville Street, Hobart.
Condition Details & Defects:
- Format: Softcover, thick paper wrap-around cover. Published 1920.
- Cover: The outer paper cover is in worn and creased condition, with a white vintage sticker remnant visible in the top corner of the front.
- Interior: The pages are heavily tanned with age and are fragile to the touch, with a few creased page corners. The four full-page illustrative plates show light, widespread foxing.
