first experiment with etching was in 1897, twenty years before he became
seriously involved with the medium. (Pirates' Captives) was the
result and depicts a robust pirate scene (rather reminiscent of a woodcut

| Rose was the model. The original etching was etched in 1919. Rose's interest in books had been aroused by the experience of observing Norman writing his first two successful novels, A Curate in Bohemia (1913) and The Magic Pudding (1918), and she began to take an interest in collecting her own books. Her bookplate is titled Lysistrata. On the two Mitchell Library proofs Norman printed 'Rose Lindsay her Book. NL' in ink, centre right. The original etching was never published. | ||

| Desert
Island probably had its genesis in Norman's early reading. Coral
Island, one of the first books which Norman had read, expanded
These first books colour all our after life. I feel a stirring of the heart now, when I recall their glories ... If I could get rid of the curse of an artistic conscience, acquired by years of striving after the visible aspects of life, I believe I would prefer to write dream books like Coral Island, if I were found worthy ... The original etching of Desert Island is extremely rare and unusual. The original is marked as an edition of 55 but it is thought that the plate failed at 36. The central alluring female figure is Polynesian and as well as a pirate, a reptilian humanoid and harpie are included. |

| Two editions of this image, from the same plate, were issued. Norman etching the 1st Edition (above) which showed a female figure on the left. In this etching, Norman believed that the focus was in two places — both on the nude to the left and also to the centre where the Dream Dwarf commands the attention of the surrounding women. Norman felt that the focus should only be at the cnetre of the etching and so reworked the plate and changed the female on the left into a curtain. Looking carefully at a print of the The Dream Merchant (2nd Edition), you can still see her necklace visible in the folds of the curtain. The Dream Merchant (2nd Edition) was published as a Facsimile Etching in 1997 and you can see the image here. It is extremely hard to rework a plate in this manner but Norman considered his 2nd Edition worthy of prublishing and so Rose printed fifty original etchings of this edition. An original etching of the 1st Edition is exceptionally rare as only six prints were pulled. |

| The
original aquatint and etching was etched in 1937 in an edition of only
30 and was first exhibited in the 1958 David Jones' Art Gallery exhibition
of two hundred original etchings. This was the largest exhibition of Norman
Lindsay etchings held to date until the Art Gallery of Western Australia's
exhibition of all two hundred published etchings in 2006. A sarabande is a Spanish dance in triple time and can be spelt with or without the 'e'. Norman and Rose used both spellings when titling the edition — Saraband and Sarabande. Saraband has only been reproduced in one book prior to The Complete Etchings of Norman Lindsay which was the Angus & Robertson's 1973 volume Norman Lindsay: Two Hundred Etchings. |

| For years Norman had been intrigued by the legendary sunken
city of Atlantis. Of all the vanished civilisations it is
arguably the most contentious; scholars from antiquity to
the present have debated its existence. Plato wrote two treatises
about the lost island and in one, Critias,
he positioned it to the west of the Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) on
the Atlantic coast near Cadiz. Latter-day German scholars as meticulous
as Richard Henning and Adolf Schulten have insisted that Plato’s
He even introduced his daughters Jane and Honey to the legend. In 1928 Rose added an amusing anecdote in a letter to Andrew Watt: Norman is this minute giving the kids their lessons … he is giving them from the time of Atlantis. I get much fun from hearing them telling the cook and the nurse all about how it was sunk and so forth. The cook said ‘I’ve never heard of the place’. Norman wrote a ‘thesis’ on Atlantis which he published in The Scribblings of an Idle Mind. In a postscript he mentioned an exchange of letters with Leonard Cottrell, amateur archaeologist and eminent author of books on ancient civilisations. Cottrell said that archaeologists had never discovered any factual evidence of the existence of Atlantis and, therefore, he had no belief in the myth. Norman etched Atlantis in 1925 and although it is mentioned in Rose’s record book, apparently the plate failed and it remained unpublished. |
