1900 On The Track by Henry Lawson 1st Edition Antique Australian Literature Book

Written in Lawson's distinctive, direct style, the sketches combine humour, pathos and keen social observation. The author's remarkable ability to find dignity and humanity in everyday people helped define a uniquely Australian literary voice and established him as one of the nation's most important writers. Through stories of lonely roads, rough bush accommodation, drought-stricken settlements and chance encounters with colourful characters, Lawson paints a compelling portrait of a country still developing its identity beyond the cities.

This desirable 1900 first edition was published by Angus & Robertson in Sydney during the height of Lawson's literary career and remains a cornerstone of Australian literature. Retaining its original cloth bindings and presenting beautifully, the volume represents an increasingly scarce early Lawson title from the formative years of Australian publishing. A highly collectible work for enthusiasts of Australiana, bush literature and classic Australian authors, offering an authentic and enduring glimpse into the life and character of the Australian bush."
