Norman Lindsay Selected Pen Drawings
Published by Bonanza Books, New York, 1968
First Edition, with the dustjacket
There is some reflection in the photographs. With 60 full-page plates covering Norman Lindsay's most brilliant pen drawings – some beautiful images.
Due to the lighting only, the centre of some double page works appear yellow - there is no yellow, they are in perfect condition.
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 - a beautiful set of works.
The unpublished work comprises fourteen drawings made in 1967-68 with other major works done between 1930 and the 1960s. Also previously unpublished are thirteen bright and witty drawings based on the Heptameron of Marguerite of Navarre. Selections from previously published drawings are added to make the book representative of all phases of the artist's work in this medium.
Norman Lindsay also contributes an illuminating preface on the art of pen and ink.
These are the plates:
