The years spanning 1880 to 1940 brought many great and lasting changes to the Australian way of life. These were the years between the gold rush and the Second World War, when Australians went from long skirts to short, from kerosene lamps to electric lights, from horse-drawn vehicles to motor cars and aeroplanes. The catalogues in this book reflect the tastes, aspirations and dreams of a nation coming of age.
