A Perth Camera is a treasure trove of rediscovered images by the late Ernie Polis from a lifetime spent photographing the city. Following his high-profile success with Perth Then & Now and Lost Perth, Richard Offen was contacted by the son of the late Ernie Polis, the long-time Perth City Surveyor. Ernie had been both a keen amateur photographer (and in his role as surveyor had access to some great viewpoints) and a collector of historic photos of the city. This trove of previously unpublished images give a unique view of the city from the 1950s through to the 1990s. Richard Offen has assembled the photos into themed chapters, sometimes revealing aspects of buildings that not even Heritage Perth were aware of. Along with Richard's insightful captions, the photos show both what was lost and give a Then and Now comparison between modern-day Perth and the one well-known to Ernie Polis. - Forming the third part of Richard Offen's trilogy of photographic books covering the heritage of the city:Lost Perth, Perth Then and Now and A Perth Camera.- Richard Offen has sold 20,000 Perth local history titles through Pavilion Books since 2016 and is a familiar voice talking about heritage subjects on Perth radio.- Featuring over 140 unique, previously unpublished photos of the city from the 1950s, 60s and 70s.
