This copy also contains a small original landscape watercolour (67 × 81 mm, signed 'Rubery') executed on the title page, accompanied by an additional signed inscription to 'Ethel and George Alexander | Good friends old friends | George, I will always remember not only those successful exhibitions you held for me, at the Melbourne Block Galleries, where as a director you did so much to promote art appreciation | Rubery 20/4/80'. The recipient was Melbourne philanthropist George Herbert Alexander (1910-2008); an example of his Camberwell letterhead inscribed 'GA's Personal Copy' is loosely inserted. We have not established his connection with the Block Galleries, where Bennett held several shows in the 1960s. William Rubery Bennett (1893-1987) was a prolific landscape painter and gallerist (the original makeshift invoice for $300 for this book, on his Rubery Bennett Galleries, Middle Cove, letterhead, is loosely inserted).
