The Pictures Tell The Story: Winston Irving

Outstanding images from a century of Australian press photography, beginning with the first photograph ever used in an Australian newspaper - a train derailment in 1888. Here are 200 unforgettable images, including pioneering aviators, the building of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the dole queues of the Great Depression, farewells and reunions, the going to war and the coming home, disasters and rescues, tragedies and triumphs, heroes and villains, politicians in defeat and victory - all our yesterdays. Irving spent 15 years compiling this book; prior to his retirement he was one of Sydney's leading newspaper photographers.
