$750
Sydney, Frank C. Johnson, 1933. Quarto, 48pp. on laid paper, illustrations, neat modern inscription on half-title page, bright original coloured pictorial wrappers. First edition. Very scarce and ephemeral Frank Johnson publication in uncommonly good condition. Wills & Wep's Sydney of the early 1930s, flappers, six-o'clock closing, and the Harbour Bridge &c. Pidgeon's striking illustrations include his useful drinking map of Sydney 'With Wep Where it's Wet'.
