Includes an original signed artwork entitled "The Homestead," signed by editors Rosamund Campbell and Philippa Harvie. Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson (1864-1941) is, by any reasonable measure, the most widely loved poet Australia has produced: the author of "Waltzing Matilda," Australia's unofficial national anthem, and of "The Man from Snowy River," a ballad so thoroughly absorbed into the national imagination that it has given its name to a mountain range, a film, and an entire register of Australian bush mythology. This Lansdowne edition, published in 1983, was the first occasion on which the entirety of Paterson's literary output; his poetry, short stories, novels, memoirs, journalism, children's stories, and wartime dispatches, was gathered into a single comprehensive edition. It remains the definitive and most complete edition of Paterson's work ever produced. The illustration programme draws on an extraordinary roster of significant Australian artists of Paterson's own era and after. The deluxe commemorative edition, of which this is number 289 of 350, distinguishes itself from the standard trade edition in both its construction and its contents. Both volumes are bound in full leather and housed in a beautiful solander case. It also includes an original artwork signed by the volumes' editors and compilers, Rosamund Campbell and Philippa Harvie, whose scholarly work assembling and introducing this edition made its publication possible. Fine throughout. Beautifully preserved and presents well. Please note: This is a large, heavy two-volume set. Additional postage costs may apply. If so, we will contact you after purchase.
