Early Buildings of Southern Tasmania – 2-Volume Set | E. Graeme Robertson | 1970 [USED – HCDJ]

The companion work to Robertson's Early Houses of Northern Tasmania, this two-volume set documents the historic architecture of southern Tasmania — covering Hobart and the surrounding districts, the Derwent Valley, the Channel, and the broader south of the island. Written and photographed by E. Graeme Robertson and published in 1970, the set combines photographs with descriptive text to record buildings from the convict era through to the late colonial period — churches, homesteads, farm buildings, commercial premises and public buildings.

Together with the northern volumes, Robertson's work constitutes the most thorough photographic record of colonial architecture in Tasmania ever undertaken. Out of print since publication and rarely found as a complete two-volume set in any condition.

If you're researching a specific southern Tasmanian property, tracing family connections to early Hobart or the surrounding districts, or building a collection of significant Tasmanian architecture and heritage references, this is an important set to have.
