About This Item
A lifelong collector of fine art and rare books, Pat Corrigan has commissioned Australian artists to design personal bookplates for his family since the 1970s. For the first time, this remarkable collection of 40 original designs, accompanied by a revealing biography and scholarly essay on bookplate theory, is presented as an exquisite folio book, and handcrafted in the finest traditions of Private Press.
Researched, written and produced by noted art historian Robert C. Littlewood, this very limited edition published by Douglas Stewart Fine Books is a landmark contribution to the history of Australian Bookplates.
