"The aim of this book is to give a wide coverage of my painted work but with an emphasis upon the very early figure works and works from recent exhibitions which have never been published. Quality has been the main criterion for selection." - Lloyd Rees, from the "Note from the Artist". Lloyd Frederic Rees AC CMG (1895 - 1988) was an Australian landscape painter who twice won the Wynne Prize for his landscape paintings. Most of Rees's works are preoccupied with depicting the effects of light and emphasis is placed on the harmony between man and nature. Rees's oeuvre is dominated by sketches and paintings, in which the most frequent subject is the built environment in the landscape.

'Dear Jan, We heard of your illness with deep concern from Marjorie Barnard . I'm sure you will be interested to know that the exhibition opened to a packed gallery and even at this early stage I think it can be accounted a success. Nearly all the large oils have gone and several drawings at what we consider rather fantastic prices. So we feel we can leave for home feeling that the interest and help that has gone into this exhibition by so many people has been justified.' We have not identified Jan, but the exhibition, 'Lloyd Rees: 13 September - 10 October 1973', was held at the New Grafton Gallery in London. The postcard has a small (light oil) stain and a short sealed tear to the top margin, well clear of the handwritten text, and there are a couple of small marks and light creases elsewhere; the overall condition is very good.
