Old Tasmanian Prints – Prepared in Great Britain, Europe and on the Mainland of Australia | Dr Clifford Craig | 1964 | Signed & Numbered 365/1000 [USED – HC – Good]

Clifford Craig's catalogue of prints depicting Van Diemen's Land and Tasmania — prepared by engravers and illustrators in Great Britain, Europe and on the Australian mainland during the colonial period.

Craig was the foremost authority on early Tasmanian printmaking and visual history — his three major reference works on Tasmanian prints (The Engravers of Van Diemen's Land, Old Tasmanian Prints and More Old Tasmanian Prints) form the definitive scholarly record of how the island was represented visually to the outside world during the colonial era. The prints he catalogued range from early expedition illustrations and colonial townscapes through to commercial engravings produced for the illustrated press.

At 349 indexed pages, this is the most substantial of the three Craig print reference volumes — a serious scholarly catalogue essential for collectors of Tasmanian colonial prints, art historians and researchers of Van Diemen's Land visual history.

This copy is number 365 of a limited edition of 1,000, signed by Clifford Craig.
