- Summary:
-
A letterpress broadside printed by Derek Lamb from handset wood type, using an 1887 Alexandra Press, on 200 gsm Magnani 'Pescia' paper. Produced as part of a series of large typographic posters for a group exhibition of prints that respond to notions of place and history, as inspired by two publications: 'The Early History of Rockhampton' by JTS Bird, and 'Early Rockhampton' by JG Pattison. This poster presents the title word in large 30 line upper case fat face wood type with hairline serifs, in black, yellow and red ink. Derek Lamb notes: 'In reading the books by J Grant Pattison and JTS Bird I was struck by the indifference and casual racism towards the local Aboriginal peoples. The print taken from century-old oak blocks is self-explanatory.'
