Rei Hamon: Artist of the New Zealand Bush : Second Collection.

Publisher: Collins, Auckland, 1976, FIRST EDITION.

Good hardback with poor jacket. Some rubbing and fading to boards, no inscriptons. Pages very good with some foxing (mainly to endpapers and page edges). Illustrations bright. Minor marks. Jacket is tatty, rubbed, marked torn and scratched with a piece missing from top left side.

95 pages with b&w illustrations. (Some full page or double page spread).

Hamons drawings are not from the nature that was all around him, but from the seemingly inexhaustible store of mental photographs impressed on his mind while he worked and lived in the bush. The earlier results of his drawing were remarkable - but even more remarkable were the giant strides he made in technique over a few short years. That his work is brilliant, and continues to improve is apparent in this further collection of his work, which includes his latest effort at the time of printing.
