Summary

Description

Contemporary Biographies, by W.T. Pike, including "Wiltshire at the opening of the Twentieth Century". (Pike's New Century Series no.16). Published in 1906 by W.T. Pike & Co., 19 Grand Parade, Brighton.

The original volumes in this series each contain an illustrated section about the county, followed by a long list of short biographies (each with a photographic portrait) of men of the county who were alive in 1906 (plus a few who had recently died). Each volume has an index to the illustrations of buildings and views of the county, and an index to the biographies.

Showing a photographic portrait of Captain Joshua Watts Brooke {1865–1954); surveyor, architect and engineer. This is a scan of a 1983 reprint, and there may be omissions. The reprint features the biographies only.
