A charming celebration of one of Victoria's most storied cities, Geelong Sketchbook pairs the evocative pen-and-ink drawings of Desmond Norman with the informed, affectionate prose of L. J. Blake to produce a vivid portrait of Geelong's architectural and cultural heritage. Part of the acclaimed Sketchbook series published by Rigby, this volume chronicles the streets, landmarks, and character of the region through a unique artistic lens, capturing the city's colonial buildings, waterfront, and historic precincts with warmth and precision. Blake's authoritative text grounds each illustration in its historical context, presenting Geelong not merely as a place on a map but as a living tapestry of Australian settlement and civic pride. This is an indispensable keepsake for locals, historians, and lovers of Australian art and history alike.
