This Sidney Nolan Artist Card is a rare find for collectors of Australian Postcards. The card features a beautiful image of Pretty Polly Mine, an iconic Australian landmark. The card is unposted, making it a unique addition to any collection.

One of a series of 'Outback' paintings made following a trip to Queensland and Fraser Island in 1947, 'Pretty Polly Mine' - with its haunting, desolate remains of a once prosperous past - was the first of Nolan's works to be acquired by any public gallery, together with 'Carron Plains'.

Painted from memories of a visit to a deserted Mt Isa mine, the stiff, dark-suited figure wandering the ramshackle structures is based on the mine manager the artist met there, who:

'... liked feeding birds every morning. Everyone thought he was bonkers, but he fed the birds, rosellas and all.'

- Sidney Nolan 1978

The card is perfect for those interested in collectibles, postcards, and Australian history. It is a great way to remember the beauty and significance of Pretty Polly Mine, and to appreciate the artistry of Sidney Nolan. Add this rare find to your collection today!
