Brian Carroll's authoritative text chronicles the social and historical layers of Richmond and East Melbourne, tracing their evolution from colonial settlement to established urban precincts, while Arno Roger-Genersh's detailed pen-and-ink drawings capture the textures and rhythms of everyday life with extraordinary precision.\n\nPart of the celebrated Sketchbook series that documented Australia's built heritage through the mid-twentieth century, this volume stands as both an artistic record and a work of local history. Roger-Genersh's illustrations render Victorian terraces, bluestone laneways, and leafy gardens with an intimacy that photography rarely achieves, while Carroll's prose anchors each scene in its broader civic and cultural context. Together, they illuminate a Melbourne that is at once familiar and fast disappearing — making this a volume that rewards both the nostalgic local and the curious newcomer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130720657627,"sku":"2026200010626-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f58a556c-e407-480e-9d00-78193715d0ef.png?v=1786589279","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010626-secondhand-richmond-and-east-melbourne-sketchbook","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
