Sydney: Charles Potter, Government Printer, 1893. Very good. First separate edition (initially published in "Wealth and Progress of New South Wales"); 8 3/4 x 5 1/2; pp. [3], 4-23; salmon-colored wraps, printed in black and decorated with a small vignette; illustrated with a frontis chart in color and numerous tables; a bit of spotting mostly to margins of wraps, not affecting readability; closed cut to top edge; old crease lines to lower corner; in good to very good condition.As New South Wales was the only state to represent on a grand scale Colonial Australia at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the booklet was specifically prepared for that world fair and contained history and detailed information on sheep farming and wool production, trade and export, etc. OCLC lists one copy at The British Library; none in the trade (as of September 2021).
