Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Melbourne, The Specialty Press, 1918. Octavo, [viii], 295 pages plus 5 full-page plates by Lionel Lindsay. Black cloth (blind-ruled on the sides and lettered, ruled and decorated in gilt on the spine) lightly scuffed, rubbed and bumped; spine lightly sunned with the gilt lettering dulled; acidic paper tanned (presumably as ever), with the edges foxed and discoloured; overall, an excellent copy of this publication. The lengthy subtitle is 'Showing in simple words the passage of a not uneventful life animated throughout by an inborn and unconquerable love of the sea and a most ardent patriotism'. The front flyleaf of this copy is signed and warmly inscribed by the author 'To Henry Gyles Turner, with kindest regards from his very old friend the Author. Geo. G. McCrae. Christmas 1918'. This work is the only separately published novel ('published in 1918 though written earlier') by George Gordon McCrae (1833-1927), poet and man of letters. Henry Gyles Turner (1831-1920), 'banker, historian and littérateur', was indeed a very old friend. 'In 1856-57 Sydney Gibbons, an aspiring journalist, offered Turner space in the "Illustrated Journal of Australasia and Monthly Magazine" and introduced him to Melbourne's literati, including James Smith, (Sir) Archibald Michie, George Gordon McCrae, Nicholas Chevalier and fellow bank employee Marcus Clarke. With their encouragement he helped to launch the short-lived "Australian Monthly Magazine" on 1 September 1865, and contributed articles to weekly periodicals such as the Melbourne "Spectator", Clarke's "Colonial Monthly" and James Smith's satirical "Touchstone"' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography').

[Melbourne, c.1871]. Ink and wash on paper, 235 x 285 mm (sheet), signed in the image lower left 'G G McCrae', titled by the artist lower centre 'Carrion Vulture (Vultur Bismarckii)'; laid down on board. A large-scale allegorical sketch depicting Bismarck picking over the corpses of France and Liberty, by the Melbourne literary figure George Gordon McCrae (1833-1927), son of the notable early Port Phillip settler Georgiana Huntly McCrae and her husband Andrew Murison McCrae, and father of distinguished poet Hugh McCrae. McCrae was principally a man of letters: a respected poet (he has even been dubbedthe 'Father of Victorian Poetry), he was one of the founding members of the Melbourne Yorick Club, along with such literary luminaries asRichard Hengist Horne,Henry Kendall,Adam Lindsay Gordon, and Marcus Clarke. He was also an accomplished amateur artist, as Norman Cowper notes in his entry on McCrae in the ADB: 'McCrae had a lively, interested, observant and romantic mind, and was impelled to commit to paper, in words or pictures, what he saw and what happened to him. Though he is not regarded as an artist, his paintings of ships were praised bySir Oswald Brierly.Tom Robertsin a letter toHugh McCraementioned 'a pen and ink of 2 vessels beautifully done', and the manuscript accounts of his travels and experiences are interleaved with sketches vividly illustrating the scenes and events he describes. However, he gave to writing most of his leisure before he retired and his whole time in the next thirty-four years.' The National Library of Australiaholds an album containing 406 of George Gordon McCrae's drawings, which includes many juvenile works (PIC Volume 1008 #R7997-R8402). Individual works by him, however, have seldom appeared on the market in the last century; in fact, the AASD has no record of any works by McCrae at auction since 1969.
