Port of Bristol - one hundred years of municipal ownership, 1948
A rather fine booklet issued to celebrate the centenary of the City of Bristol's ownership and development of it's famous docks, harbours and associated port facilities and issued in 1948. By this date the city had developed not only the historic city centre facilities but also constructed the associated Avonmouth and Portishead docks.
The booklet is very neatly designed by Walter Pearce & Co Ltd and printed by E S & A Robinson of Bristol. It is very much in a contemporary style - board covers with a perspex shield and the slight vogue for spiral plastic binding that, in this case, has yet to become brittle and split.
