Book 1
Banjo Paterson's People
Of the paintings in this book, Gauvin says:
'Wherever possible, I've tried for something a little
different in interpreting these famous poems.'
Some examples show she succeeded.
In the cover painting - about The Melbourne Cup, famed as 'the race that stops a nation' - she painted the bookies instead of the horses and jockeys.
In her illustration for the ironic Riders in the Stand, she shows that the race has been run; without a suggestion of a horse in the picture.
