Living Relics of Australia

Living relics contains 25 of our greatest living characters. This coffee table hard-cover book combines the very Australian art of caricature with oral history - the history of drovers, shearers, naturalists, miners, artists, explorers, etc. Their caricature captures them on the outside and their own words capture them on the inside.
