About This Item
Rosanna, Victoria, Australia: Anne and Don Pitkethly, 1988. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Between 1875 and 1905 Caire explored the Victorian countryside to photograph for the commercial market. Lone figures dwarfed by luxuriant tree ferns, crystal waterfalls in forest frames, rustic dwellings with their solitary inhabitants - all convey Caire's deep love of the bush he photographed and reveal the mastery of his art." 85 photographs. Small quarto. Original burgundy cloth binding, with gilt titles. Small bookseller's label to the front flyleaf. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
