Add to basketHardback. Max Angus (Drawings), Patsy Adam Smith (Text), Rigby Limited. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Chipped and worn with some minor damagePages: Good Markings: No markingsA stunning celebration of Australia's island state, Tasmania Sketchbook presents a rich visual and literary portrait of one of the Southern Hemispher…e's most distinctive and storied landscapes. Max Angus's evocative drawings capture the rugged wilderness, colonial architecture, and quiet coastal beauty of Tasmania with an artist's keen and reverent eye, while Patsy Adam-Smith's accompanying text grounds each image in the island's deep cultural and historical context. Together, the two voices chronicle the character of a land shaped by convict history, pioneering settlers, and an almost mythic natural environment. The tone throughout is warmly nostalgic yet informative, making it an ideal companion for those drawn to Australian heritage and regional history. A treasured volume in the beloved Sketchbook series, it illustrates why Tasmania continues to captivate artists, historians, and travellers alike. Hardback.
