26 Journey among men (with drawing) MARSHALL, Jock and DRYSDALE, Russell # 1243 London : Hodder & Stoughton, 1962. Quarto, cloth in illustrated dustjacket, 206 pp. illustrated throughout by Russell Drysdale. Inscribed by the artist in the year of publication on the first blank 'For Norma - Russell Drysdale September '62', with a full page ink drawing of a stockman drinking a beer with the quotation 'You know, Norma, its just a lot o' bull'. Drysdale and Marshall's great journey through the Australian outback is dotted with a variety of unique characters, each with a particularly dry Australian sense of humour. This fine copy of ‘Journey among men’ is greatly enhanced by an original artwork, which through Drysdale's unmistakable hand brings one of these characters alive on the page. $ 2,750
Russell Drysdale # 2162 Melbourne : Richmond Hill Press, 1979. Elephant folio, full leather (somewhat marked), essays, 45 full page colour plates reproducing Drysdale paintings and drawings, paper folio with 6 loose colour plates, all housed in a tan clamshell box, a little bumped. Limited to 500 copies signed by the artist, this is a presentation copy from Drysdale to his friend and art dealer Rudy Komon, inscribed on the limitation page. The drawing referred to in the letter, Drysdale's work for Kumon titled The Connoisseur, was originally included by Drysdale in a folder inside the book. A manuscript note on the outside of this folder bears a message to this effect (but the drawing is no longer inside!). The drawing was part of the exhibition Russell Drysdale : drawings, celebrating the centenary of Drysdale's birth, held at the National Trust S.H. Ervin Gallery in Sydney, 17 February - 25 March, 2012, and curated by Lou Klepac. $ 950 The burnt ones (signed copy) [PATRICK WHITE] # 2273 London : Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1964. First edition.
