Norman Lindsay, with a biographical survey by Godfrey Blunden
The Springwood Press, Sydney, 1939
A beautiful vintage edition of Norman Lindsay Water Colour Book, featuring 18 tipped-in colour reproductions of Lindsay's watercolours, together with an appreciation of his technique and a biographical account of his life and work by Godfrey Blunden.
Originally published in Sydney by The Springwood Press in 1939, the book was issued as a limited edition of 1,850 copies, with 1,820 offered for sale.
This is a particularly attractive example, with its original green cloth binding and striking presentation of Lindsay's richly coloured and often theatrical watercolours. The tipped-in plates are especially appealing as objects in their own right and make this as much a decorative art book as a reference work.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Very well preserved overall, with some minor age-related wear consistent with its vintage. The colour plates remain particularly bright and attractive.
