The Australian Rhyme Sheets issued by Beacon Press "combined verse, in simple clear typography, and artwork, and were produced in the style of the English broadsheets popularised in the first decades of the twentieth century as an accompaniment of the private press movement by, for example, the Cuala Press, Dublin, and Nonesuch Press and St Dominic's Press in England. Mortlock relates how he was approached in early 1931 by Kathleen Monypenny (1894-1971), then with the Mitchell Library to produce the Rhyme Sheets which were released in April 1931 to very poor sales, despite a very positive notice in the Sydney Morning Herald. A further set was published in the following November in an attempt to take advantage of the Christmas trade, but these also made a loss and the idea was abandoned." Mark J. Ferson, "Harrie P. Mortlock and the Beacon Press", Script & Print, Vol 35 No 2 June 2011, pages 80-98.
