Sydney Rare Book Week: A Bibliography of the works of Norman lindsay: Another never-ending Magic Pudding?

This event is presented as part of the Sydney Rare Book Week 2024 program. 

On Tuesday 22nd October 2024, the University of Sydney Library is hosting a free public lecture about the iconic Australian artist, Norman Lindsay. Notable bibliographers and collectors in the past, including George Mackaness, strove with the challenge of compiling a Bibliography of the works of Norman Lindsay. All eventually decided that the task was simply too daunting to complete.Today, with electronic resources and access to the two finest private libraries of Lindsayana, Robert Holden & Rodney Kent have devoted the last few years to reviving this project. Of particular importance has been the Lindsay holdings in Rare Books and Special Collections at the University of Sydney Library, with its wealth of tipped-in ephemera including holograph letters from Lindsay et al.,  original drawings, ephemera, and cuttings. Come along and be introduced to some wonderful highlights from the collection. 

Please note - if you book and cannot attend, please cancel your ticket to give others an opportunity.
