[Ballarat and Melbourne], The National Game Company, [ca. 1940]. Folding game board printed directly onto thin card, 250 x 250 mm; in fine condition. A very good example of one of the later editions of this game. A scarce Australian-made and designed board game which reflects what it was still like to drive on Australian roads at this time. The hazards encountered by the players include skidding on gravel, sheep blocking the road, and broken axles and springs due to bumpy country roads.

Description:
Melbourne : The Miegunyah Press, 2021. Quarto, laminated boards reproducing a painting by Howard Arkley, pp. 262, extensively illustrated. New copy, signed by the author. With works from Sidney Nolan, Howard Arkley and more, this richly illustrated work illuminates the untold stories and origins of the most important event of the art world. Before the winds of World War I blew Europe apart, a rowdy and radical group of Australian artists would gather in the salons of Paris and London to embrace new ways of painting and seeing the world. By 1914 twelve of them had shown their works at the Venice International Exhibition, now known as the Venice Biennale. Bundled in with the British, Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and Thea Proctor were represented alongside legendary artists Corot, Rodin, Klimt and Renoir. Four decades later Australia sent its first official delegation of artists: Sidney Nolan, Russell Drysdale and William Dobell; the works of Rover Thomas, Howard Arkley, Patricia Piccinini and Shaun…

Description:
New York : Condé Nast Publications, Inc., November 1932. Large quarto format (325 x 250 mm), original pictorial wrappers, the front cover design a lampoon of Adolf Hitler by Italian artist Paolo Garretto; 72 pp, illustrated in colour and black-and-white; the wrappers have some very light handling wear, and the paper spine is chipped in a few places; contents clean and sound. Like the front cover of Vanity Fair's October 1932 issue, which featured a grotesque caricature of the fascist dictator Mussolini by Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias, the cover of its November 1932 issue has achieved notoriety for Italian artist Paolo Garretto's anti-Nazi depiction of Adolf Hitler. At the time, Hitler was not yet in power: he would not become Chancellor of the Reichstag until January, 1933. 'When the editors of Vanity Fair sat down to plan the layout for their November 1932 cover, they probably had only one thing on their minds: How can we top our Mussolini cover? Perhaps the October issue of that year…

In the wake of abolition - but especially after 1838, when slaves were finally emancipated in British colonies and slave-owners received compensation - there was a significant influx into the Australian colonies of families and individuals who brought with them accumulated wealth that was the legacy of slave ownership, especially in the Caribbean, North America, or Mauritius. For almost 200 years, from the mid-seventeenth to the early nineteenth century, the Colleton family, originally wealthy wool merchants from Exeter in Devon, played a major part in the…

London : T. and W. Boone, New Bond Street, 1847. Octavo, disbound, pp iv, 30; title with offsetting at corners and left margin, else a very good copy. Lieutenant-Colonel George Gawler (1795-1869) served as the second Governor of South Australia from October 1838 until May 1841. After his retirement in 1841, Gawler returned to England and devoted himself to religious and charitable works. One of his abiding and deep interests was the welfare and fair treatment of the Jews by peoples and governments of other faiths. He published a number of tracts in relation to this topic, including The Tranquillization of Syria and the East (1845), in which he promulgated the idea that Jews be allowed to establish autonomous agricultural settlements in Palestine as recompense for their suffering under Ottoman rule; The Emancipation of the Jews (1847); and Syria and its Near Prospects (1853). He also toured Palestine in 1849 with Moses Montefiore, the British financier and philanthropist. For a gentile…

Tony Woods was one of Australia's most exciting young artists in the late 1960s. Originally from Tasmania, he enthralled Melbourne audiences with a series of dazzling exhibitions before travelling to New York on a Harkness Scholarship. There, in the midst of increasing success, Woods met with a major personal artistic tragedy which forestalled his career. Returning to Australia, he was an early participant in Sydney's renowned Yellow House with close friend Brett Whiteley before turning his back on the seductively heady lifestyle to live in Melbourne.
