Servicing as a definitive posthumous tribute to the seven-time Wynne Prize-winning Australian landscape painter Elioth Gruner (1882–1939), this publication is widely considered a cornerstone piece in Australian art bibliography. Standard Limited Edition: Limited to 2,000 copies. It is a large quarto format featuring brown or red cloth binding with a distinct gilt-pictorial tree emblem on the front cover, a red-dyed book boards.
