I’ve just added a charming wee book to the catalogue. It’s a poem about Australia called “My country” by Dorothea Mckellar and illustrated by JJ Hilder. The poem was written in 1908 and although JJ Hilder died in 1916 , a book called “The art of JJ Hilder” came out in 1918. This reproduction was published in 1981, and consists of the poem and 7 watercolours. A sweet little piece of Australiana.
