| Title: | Salisbury’s changing skyline, 1890 - 1980 | |
| Place: | Bulawayo | |

A handsome large coffee-table volume of Salisbury's (now Harare) architecture and street scenes from its beginnings to 1980 - the story of its growth told through its buildings and the people associated with them. It is a fascinating record of a city of pioneering character and robust individuality. The book contains more than 114 subjects illustrated in various media - pencil and watercolour sketches, two aerial photographs plus a fold-out map. Also includes informative text and anecdotes that set the sketches in their historical perspective and add background that makes them more meaningful. (Source: bobshop formerly Bidorbuy) | ||
