Look up for inspiration and beauty
MELBOURNE ART DECOIn 2009 Robin Grow published a book on Melbourne Art Deco, with images largely supplied by David Thompson. The book quickly sold out and he is pleased to say that it has now been re-published by Brolga Press, with updates, errors corrected and a new cover.
Best of all, it is selling for about $25 in the shops and on-line. Art Deco & Modernism Society members can purchase a copy from me for $22, (includes postage within Australia). For overseas orders please email for postage rates. Contact me at robingrow@ozemail.com.au if you are interested, and advise if you would like the book to be dedicated and/or signed.

Do we know what the decorative element above the front door is? Does it have any symbolic value? I suppose we would have to know which organisation commissioned the block.
ReplyDeleteI would guess it is some sort of RAAF insignia.
