Love reading the online catalogues at SLV. The language of certain decades is so well crafted, particularly with advertising:
Melbourne and suburban hotel, guest and boarding house guide and tourist handbook. Date 1928?
Oh you’d love some of the stuff I’ve worked on. Social disease, self pollution, public convenience, avoidance of harlotry. The turns of phrase are magnificent!
Any strange Girl coming to Melbourne can visit the Cafeteria here where meals can be got for a small charge
Is that building still there in Russell Street?
The vast majority of buildings in this particular guide I'm reading seem to have been supplanted. Seems something of a shame but, equally, nothing stops progress.
