Description:
Very rare engraving of the Australian rowing with Beach beating Trickett on 8th December, 1883 for the Hunt Trophy.
From the original edition of The Australian Graphic.
Incredibly, this newspaper used glass for all the engraving plates which the proprietors claimed, reduced the cost by 2/3 from the traditional method of using wood engravings. They stated, that the glass plates didn’t break with the pressure of the printing press, were easy and quick for the artist to create, being able to apply their designs directly onto the glass and that the plates didn’t wear.
Only institution to hold a copy is the State Library of New South Wales.
