Description:
Melbourne : R. Quarrill & Co., Lithographers, 74 Collins St. West, [1854]. Lithographed billhead, 195 x 240 mm, with vignette view of the premises of John S. Cragg's Miner's Store at the Yarra end of Swanston Street; manuscript date of 12 October 1854, with entries recording the sale of a soup tureen and ladle for £1 10/- to the ship Shirley (an American merchant vessel), endorsed as 'paid' by one of Cragg's employees; a very well preserved document. An attractive and very scarce ephemeral printing from Melbourne at the height of the gold rush. Reuben Quarrill (1828-1904) was active as a lithographer in Melbourne for only a short period, in 1853-4. He is best known for a series of lithographic views of Melbourne, Williamstown and Geelong, several of which at least were drawn by Edmund Thomas. Quarrill then worked as a commission agent and later turned to journalism, ending his career as the editor of the Geelong Advertiser. Ironmonger John S. Cragg's notice appeared in The Argus, 16 February…

Description:
Melbourne : Macmillan, 2012. Quarto, illustrated boards in dustjacket, pp. 368, illustrated. Fine copy. The enthralling power and colour of Aboriginal painting of Tjukurpa and country has brought Aboriginal art to the forefront of contemporary art practice in Australia. Aboriginal art has also played an important role in the formulation of Indigenous Land Rights debates and Native title jurisprudence. 2012 marks the twentieth anniversary of the High Court of Australia's decision in Mabo, which overturned the British doctrine of terra nullius - the false promise on which the colony was founded - and forever changed the legal landscape for Indigenous rights. This book charts the history of Aboriginal art's impact on Australian law, and explores the inextricable nexus of Aboriginal law and sense of self - an entirety that is inseparable from country. And, of course, This book is about strikingly beautiful contemporary paintings. Showcasing 129 works of art by 76 artists working across more than 25…

Description:
Melbourne : Macmillan Art Publishing, 2013. Quarto, boards in dustjacket, pp. 119, illustrated. New copy. In Days Gone By, Volume 2: A Meeting of East and West, Christine Wu Ramsay continues the personal story of her life in an ever-widening world - as East meets West. The story is told with warmth, insight and her characteristic sense of humour. Presented with the realities of Western customs and values, she sets these against her changing perceptions of the traditions and philosophies of a matriarchal and extended Chinese family living in Singapore. Contrasts between East and West are highlighted when she takes a Western husband and they have two Eurasian children. Photographs spanning a century, complement the author's engaging and revealing description of studying, working and living in Asia, Australia, England and America from 1958 to 1983.
