[PRESENTATION COPY inscribed on the front free endpaper "For Mirka, whose murals I adore, with best regards John N"]
This fine presentation copy (from the 'father' of Melbourne's liquour reform to the 'mother' of Melbourne's dining culture) is of Melbourne food and wine journalist Michael Harden's seminal work that charts Melbourne's transformation from provincial capital pre-WWII into an internationally renowned destination for gastronomy.
Central to the story was the arrival of a number of European immigrants post WWII, including Mirka and Georges Mora who opened a French-style cafe in 1954, Cafe
Balzac in 1956 (the recipient of Victoria's first restaurant licence) and Tolarno in 1966. Over the years, their venues, adorned with Mirka Mora's now famous murals, came to epitomise the beginnings of the new bohemian confluence of art, dining and culture that Melbourne has become. These nascent beginnings were fragile and limited due to restrictive liquor regulation; and it was not until Professor John Nieuwenhuysen's ground breaking 1988 report recommending sweeping changes to liquor licensing that Melbourne's now famous food and wine culture blossomed.
Mirka Mora [1928-2018] was a French-born Australian visual artist and much-loved cultural figure who contributed significantly to the development of contemporary art in Australia. Her media included drawing, painting, sculpture and mosaic.
Provenance: from the Studio of Mirka Mora

To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Bibliographical Society of America, this retrospective collection of articles seeks to represent, in the broadest possible way, the diverse contributions of the members of the Society to its Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America. The pieces demonstrate to the highest degree of excellence - articles of critical importance that have moved forward the art of bibliography. This volume contains 39 articles that strongly suggest that the practice of bibliography in America during the past three-quarters of a century cannot be easily categorized. Instead, the articles range over the entire spectrum of the world of books. An interesting characteristic of the selection is the preponderance of articles concerned with the relationship between books and people - especially with collectors rather than with those…

[Saint Paul, Minnesota]:: Hot Tomato Press,, 2023.. Open Edition. 3.25" w x 1.75" h x 3.25" d. Mixed media with handmade paper (cotton, acrylics, book rings, gelatin size, and ink). Handmade paper by the artist. Linocut printed, punched and strung. Erica Spitzer Rasmussen: "When I was little, my father told me that eating tomatoes would make me 'big, strong and hairy-chested.' When you're young, of course, it's difficult to separate truth from fiction. I believed my father and stopped eating tomatoes. My brother, who heard the same tall tale around the dinner table, continued to eat tomatoes and you should see how hairy he turned out. 'Hot Tomatoes' are representations of the ever-present ominous fruit from my childhood that animated the theater of my mind. They function as picture books and as sculptural objects.
