ABOUT THE ARTIST
Australian artist Thomas Balfour Garrett (1879-1952) began his art career after becoming disenchanted with his work as a minister of religion in Melbourne for what he perceived as the institutionalization of the church. Moving to Sydney to pursue his painting practice, he exhibited for the first time in 1929 at the age of fifty to receive wide recognition for his lyrical, romantic landscapes. Garrett continued to show regularly in Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide and became well known for his painterly, atmospheric monotype prints.
Monotype employs the technique of painting on a glass or metal plate and applying the painted matrix onto paper. Garrett refined the method to his exacting standards, regularly adding oil paints to the watercolor or ink conventionally used in monotypes to achieve the qualities of depth and light for which his finely nuanced prints were acclaimed.
Garrett remained loyal to his romantic impressionist vision in the face of the development of modernist genres in Australia throughout the 1930s and 1940s. The National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia, and the National Gallery of Victoria hold Garrett’s work in their collections.

Signed 'Sybil Andrews pinx et imp' and titled in pencil. A superb, painterly impression, with fresh colors, on heavy cream wove paper; the full sheet with margins (5/8 to 1 3/4 inches). Printed by the artist. The artist’s original archival mounting tape remains in the four sheet corners, recto (well away from the image), in excellent condition. Matted to museum standards, unframed. A unique impression. Image size 8 15/16 x 11 15/16 inches (227 x 303 mm); sheet size 12 1/4 x 15 1/2 inches (311 x 394 mm). ABOUT THIS WORK In addition to her almost 80 celebrated modernist color linocuts, Sybil Andrews also worked in the monotype technique. She typically produced two or three impressions (or pulls) from each hand-painted plate, each proof unique in its qualities of color values and vibrancy. In 1933, Sybil Andrews and Cyril Power had an exhibition of their color monotypes and linocuts at the Redfern Gallery. Most of Andrews' monotypes were destroyed by a fire in an Ottawa gallery in 1959, and they now rarely come to the market.

- A Pair of Framed 19th Century Colored Lithographs of Tudor Scenes by Joseph NashBy Joseph NashLocated in Alamo, CAThis is a pair of framed 19th century tinted lithographs with hand-coloring entitled "Gallery Over the Hall, Knowle, Kent" and "Terrace Bramshill, Hants" by Charles Joseph Hullmandel (1789-1850) after drawings by Joseph Nash (1809-1878), from "Mansions of England in the Olden Time", published in London in 1839-1849. Nash's publication consists of a series of views of Tudor domestic architecture, which Nash said depicted "the most characteristic features of the domestic architecture of the Tudor Age, and also illustrating the costumes, habits, and recreations of our ancestors." The scenes of the aristocratic ladies and gentlemen (including Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I), who are depicted inhabiting the rooms of these great houses, were taken directly from the portraits on the walls. Charles Joseph Hullmandel, was involved in the creation of these lithographs. He was a famous British lithographer, who invented the "lithotint" process, which he named and patented in 1840. This technique, allowing for greater nuance and value gradation than pure lithography, was an ideal means of expression for Nash's historically rich and picturesque depictions of Tudor mansions and their inhabitants. Hullmandel is also remembered for creating many lithographs from the paintings by J. M. W. Turner. The "Gallery Over the Hall" depicts a great hall with children playing with skittles (wooden pins resembling bowling pins), a doll and what looks to be a St Charles spaniel, while a lady in Tudor attire watches over them next to a massive stone fireplace. Adults are watching from in the distance while a man bows...Category
