1968 First edition
With 60 full-page plates covering Norman Lindsay's most brilliant pen drawings.
54 of the plates are blank on the rear with six of the plates each spanning one and a half pages. Fifty of these had not been published previously.
The unpublished work comprises fourteen drawings made in 1967-68 with other major works done between 1930 and the 1960s.
