The first views of the colony to be printed locally were published in 1812–14 by an entrepreneurial emancipist and engraved by the convicts assigned to him. From a culture of “making do” in the early decades of the penal settlement, the extent, quality, and scope of print production increased exponentially and kept pace with developments overseas. The backgrounds of the printmakers whose work is discussed varied greatly, with professional trade workers and artists making equally important contributions. By the mid-nineteenth century, printmaking was firmly established in key areas of commercial enterprise, science, architecture, art, advertising, illustrated books, and newspapers. Through the second half of the century printmaking in Australia continued to match developments overseas. One particular high point for wood-engravers was the production of the lavish Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, published between 1886–88, to coincide with the centenary of European settlement. Printed Images in Colonial Australia concludes with the photogravure of Tom Roberts’s painting commissioned to celebrate the federation of the Australian states in 1901.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 377 images reproduced here, many of them exceedingly rare or long overlooked, are presented alongside Roger Butler’s original research and information not previously assembled to give full weight to the important role of the printed image in Australian art and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50993304076561,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50993304633617,"sku":"GOR014163899","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0642541809.jpg?v=1786105629"},{"product_id":"printed-book-roger-butler-9780642334930","title":"Printed","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe quintessential guide to printmaking in postwar Australia, situated within a global context\u003c\/b\u003eThe National Gallery of Australia has the most comprehensive collection of prints, posters, and illustrated books from Australia and the Pacific region in the world, which are drawn upon within this landmark book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor Roger Butler is the leading expert in the history of Australian prints and printmaking. In this third volume of his critically acclaimed series on the history of Australian prints and printmaking, he explores the explosive creative opportunities that unfolded, starting in the mid-twentieth century, for studying, making, teaching, collecting, and exhibiting prints. Of consideration is the influence of political and social movements on printmaking, and printmaking’s prominent roles in these movements. Notable artists explored include Cressida Campbell, Albert Tucker, Jeffrey Smart, Margaret Preston, Will Dyson, Fiona Hall, and David McDiarmid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSignificantly, \u003ci\u003ePrinted\u003c\/i\u003e explores one of the most momentous developments of the past fifty years: the adoption of printmaking techniques by First Nations artists from Australia, and the vibrant and highly original works they have produced, which have attracted national and international attention.
