Description: A ringbound book of printed sketches after Australian artist Margaret Metcalf, (1935-2020). Titled '1981 Central Australian Sketchbook' the images follow the landscapes and people encountered during a journey into Central Australia. They appear in chronological order, starting on 9th May 1981 and ending on the 23rd during which time Margaret completed more than 50 sketches. Each print is signed and titled in the plate. Printed in black on white wove paper, each sheet measuring 21 x 29cm. Also included is a hand written letter dated Oct 1982 from the artist to friends to whom she gifted the book. The first paragraph gives some further detail:I thought you might like a copy of 'The Book' of sketches from Central Australian Trip I did last year. (There was a Queensland one as well, but it sold out). Some of the sketches don't have much meaning to anyone who wasn't on that particular coach, with those particular people, but I hope you enjoy them anyway! Postage £4 in the UK, £8 to mainland Europe, £18 to the USA, Canada or Australia. Margaret Metcalf was a watercolourist, specialising in landscapes. She sold her work from her own gallery in the Chelsea area of Melbourne and also taught watercolour classes. There is little other biographical information but there a number of Australian auction records for her work and examples are held in the collection of the City of Greater Geelong.
