Introduction
 WELCOME
to the first edition of Norman Lindsay eNews, an initiative of www.normanlindsay.net
providing news and information on Norman Lindsay events
interesting stories and new releases and newly arrived offerings.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- On Wednesday 7th May 2008 two new Norman Lindsay Facsimile Etchings are due for release.
Dance, Puppet, Dance is a perfect partner for the currently available 'Which Mask' and is being released at only $297. The original etching was produced in 1933 and the puppet appearing in the work is a caricature of Norman. The original etching was limited to only 10 copies so it is very rare and is sure to make this facsimile popular. Dance, Puppet, Dance measures 14.4 x 11.6 cm.
Charles is the second of the new releases and one we expect to sell out quickly. While we can never guarantee increases in value, based on the success of the similarly styled 'The Eighties' we would expect to this etching to do well in terms of upward revaluations. The original Charles etching was a drypoint etching in 1926 and was in an edition of 38. It measures 26.5 x 31.8cm and is being released at $396 Special Offer ... For all orders recieved
and paid for prior to 25th April 2008 for either of these two
new releases we will include free registered
and
insured postage (within Australia). Orders will be accepted on
a first come basis and we reserve the right to refund monies if
we sell out. The
Little Mermaid facsimile etching has now all but sold out. At the
date of this newsletter we have one remaining copy (481 / 550)
available.
