The collection comprises eight letters from one of Australia’s foremost landscape painters Arthur Streeton to Mrs H.R. Mackenzie, who purchased his painting Golden Summer, Eaglemont at auction in 1924 for 1000 guineas. The letters discuss the delivery of the painting to the new owner on her birthday, the reproduction of the painting in the Arthur Streeton Catalogue (1935), and reveal Streeton's delight in the purchase of a painting he had a significant personal attachment to, and a painting widely regarded as one of his masterpieces. In addition to demonstrating the relationship bewteen the artist and buyer and providing an insight into Streeton's personal life, the letters include some sketches in ink from his residence “Fairlie House” in South Yarra of the Royal Botanic Gardens with Government House, views of Port Phillip Bay including Rosebud, You Yangs, Corio Bay and a self portrait, drawn after Streeton received his knighthood.
