Tasmania Now and Then
By A.D. Baker
Published by J. Walch & Sons Pty Ltd: Hobart 1938 (1st Edition)

"Tasmania Now and Then by A.D. Baker is a richly illustrated historical and cultural survey of Tasmania, contrasting the island's past with its present (as of the book's early 20th-century publication). Baker delves into the colonial history of Tasmania, recounting early European settlement, convict heritage, and the transformation of Hobart and other towns from rugged outposts into developed communities. The book explores key events, landmarks, and personalities that shaped the island, offering readers a window into Tasmania's formative years and its journey from penal colony to civil society.

In addition to historical analysis, Baker highlights contemporary Tasmania—its landscapes, industries, and evolving identity. Through photographs and detailed descriptions, the author presents a comparative visual narrative, juxtaposing scenes from Tasmania's early days with their modern counterparts. The result is both nostalgic and educational, revealing the resilience of Tasmanians and the enduring natural beauty of the island. The book serves as both a tribute to Tasmania's past and a celebration of its progress."
