City Streets

Progressive Adelaide 75 years on

Lance Campbell, Mick Bradley

When South Australia was 100 years old, Gustav Hermann Baring celebrated with style. His mammoth publication Progressive Adelaide - As It Stands To-day was both a catalogue of commerce and a labour of love.

In 1936, Hermann Baring captured the State and its capital in pictures. For all time. Inspired by Progressive Adelaide, photographer Mick Bradley and writer Lance Campbell set out in Baring's footsteps. In images and words, City Streets is progressive Adelaide today.

This is a unique book about a unique city. For all time.
