About this Item
Limited Edition (No. 236 of 1000 copies). Signed by the artist on the Limitation Page. Publisher's full brown faux-vellum, gilt lettering on cover, map of Sydney on endpapers, fore-edge deckle. Profusely illustrated with B&W drawings by Cedric Emanuel. Printed on heavy artist's stock. Unpaginated. Published to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Captain Cook's entry into Botany Bay. The drawings record places and parts of Sydney and nearby towns closely with its early settlement, some little streets and quaint places that still exist. This book was privately printed for the artist, and was only available for purchase from him directly. Cedric Raymond Emanuel OAM (1906 1995) was a New Zealand born Australian representational painter, illustrator and printmaker. Speaking at the 1995 Retrospectives exhibition of Emanuel's works, New South Wales Governor Rear-Admiral Peter Sinclair pointed to the artist's speciality in drawing and painting "scenes of yesteryear, and of buildings and locations that are national heritage items". He was an important Australian visual historian, "for almost seventy years" sketching and painting the "rapidly changing scenes of Australia from the outback to the inner suburbs of Sydney". The volume is in perfect, pristine condition, unmarked, unread, tight, square and clean. A large, heavy book (four pounds) - additional shipping charges may apply. AS NEW. Drawings. Folio 13" - 23" tall. Unpaginated pp. Signed by Illustrator. Seller Inventory # 29210
