A Bunch of Wild Flowers (1933 and 1948)

 

Illustrated by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite

 

 

 

A Bunch of Wild Flowers, with illustrations and verse contributed by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite,

was first published by Angus and Robertson Limited (Sydney) in 1933 and included 6 tipped-in

plates in addition to a further 15 major monotone images and further marginal monotone

illustrations. A further amended - and effective - First Edition was published in 1948 with 22 tipped-in plates.

 

The substantial shift in stylistic and thematic focus apparent in A Bunch of Wild Flowers is a

factor in the speculation that this work was an attempt by Outhwaite - and her publishers -

to capitalise on the success of Cecily M Barker in the latter part of the previous decade.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is

hand-finished and the images are presented on Ivory card stock (in the case of colour illustrations) and White card

stock (in the case of monotone images) with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each card carries information

about Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the interior of the cards

blank so that you may write your own personal message.

 

Should you wish to order a reproduction print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options below.

Each of our Fine Art Posters is prepared with archival quality papers and inks - and also accompanied by information

about Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, this suite and the profiled illustration.
