In den WarenkorbSydney, Simmons, 1933. Folio. Original cloth-backed illustrated boards, pp. [54], 12 full-page lithographs and one tipped-in colour lithograph; an exceptionally well-preserved copy.First edition, number 88 of a print-run of 400, signed by the artist. This beautiful publication celebrates the completion of Sydney Harbour Bridge.…J.J.C. Bradfield writes in the foreword 'The Sydney Harbour Bridge, so long a dream, is to-day a bold and practical reality. A triumphant arch of steel, humanising our landscape in the Ideals of all true Australians, simplicity, beauty and service. It was a Big Plan ; the thoughts and strivings of many men. Its success lies in the loyalty of Engineers and Workmen to the Ideal of the Big Plan. Inch by inch, step by step, they built the Bridge, until to-day it is finished, a work of service, a thing of beauty, which will assert itself long after we are gone. In the following drawings, Mr. Curtis tells you something of the magnitude of the work that lay before the Builders. When an important stage in the construction had been reached, when the subject was "meat" for his pencil, whether by accident or design, he would invariably be seen, somewhere, "on the job." In these drawings are expressed the strength, the labour, the romance of a great undertaking' (p. 4).'Robert Emerson Curtis (1898-1986), artist, arrived in Sydney from England in his mid-teens. Having studied art by correspondence, he went to the USA with his friend, cinematographer Charles Chauvel, in 1922 and spent six years in San Francisco and Chicago, studying, creating etchings and woodcuts and illustrating various magazines. Surprised on his return to Sydney to find that an arch bridge was under way, he approached engineer John Bradfield and requested access to the Sydney Harbour Bridge site. Over the ensuing years he created a series of lithographs documenting the construction. Some of these were published as Building the Bridge in 1933' (National Portrait Gallery, Australia, online).

In den WarenkorbZustand: Fine. An original pencil drawing, mounted and matted (visible image size 290 × 190 mm), initialled, dated and captioned in pencil along the bottom edge. Both the drawing and mat are in fine condition. 'Château Tanunda, birthplace of the Barossa, was established in 1890 and is the site of some of the Valley's first vines… planted as well as its first winery. The majestic bluestone winery and vineyards is a living testament to the colourful history and pioneering spirit of Australia's most famous wine region. Château Tanunda's origins go back to the decimation of Europe's vineyards by the phylloxera plague. Sensing opportunity, the founder's grand vision was to build a Château dedicated to crafting fine quality wines. Château Tanunda would become for a while the largest winery in the Southern Hemisphere. European immigrants had been planting vines in the Barossa since the 1840s, so the region was a natural choice. The resulting wines, made from grapes produced by 560 local growers . were shipped to a wine starved Europe. Château Tanunda's success was the Barossa's success. For years it was the heart of Barossa winemaking. A veritable "Ivy League" of Australian winemakers worked or studied at the facility, including Prof. Soebels, Australia's first qualified oenologist; Bill Seppelt; Grant Burge; Geoff Merrill and others. In 1994, in recognition of its rich history, Château Tanunda was placed on the Register of State Heritage Places - but by then its glory days were a memory. Abandoned by its then-owner, Australian wine giant Southcorp, the property was a shell of its former grandeur'. John Geber and his family purchased the property in 1998, and 'The rebirth of Château Tanunda is one of the most remarkable stories of the Australian wine industry' (Huon Hooke, quoted on the company's website). This drawing dates from its glory days . Robert Emerson Curtis (1898-1996), English-born Australian artist, architectural draftsman, camouflage officer, and official war artist, emigrated to Queensland in 1914.
