Sheffield H. Kagy Linocut ‘Banyan Tree’ 1935.

( Kagy (1907-1989) was an American printmaker and muralist. Active as a printmaker in Cleveland in the 1930s, Sheffield Kagy specialised in block prints of contemporary scenes. Kagy was one of only two Cleveland artists to make prints for the Public Works of Art Project in 1934. He made several linoleum cuts, including this one, and at least one lithograph for the Cleveland graphic arts project of the Works Progress Administration in 1936. Kagy was a vice president of the Cleveland Print Makers and showed his work in many local exhibitions.)

Harold Cazneaux Photography ‘Pergola Pattern’ 1932.

(Harold Cazneaux was an Australian pictorialist photographer; a pioneer whose style had an indelible impact on the development of Australian photographic history. His father Pierce Mott Cazneaux was an English-born photographer and his mother Emily Florence was a colourist, miniature painter and photographer from Sydney. In the 1890s the family moved to Adelaide and Harold started to working in his father's studio and attended H. P. Gill's evening classes at the School of Design, Painting and Technical Arts.

In 1904 he decided to move to Sydney where he took up a position with one of Sydney's oldest photo studios, Freeman & Co. where he was appointed the firm's manager and chief operator. At the same time he honed his photographic skills documenting the architecture of old Sydney and in 1907 exhibited the Photographic Society of New South Wales. In 1909 he held the first one-man exhibition in Australia and exhibited internationally from 1915 until 1951.

He was a founder of the Sydney Camera Circle whose Pictoralist "manifesto" was drawn up and signed on 28 November 1916. The  group pledged "to work and to advance pictorial photography and to show our own Australia in terms of sunlight rather than those of greyness and dismal shadows."

In 1921 he was elected a member of the London Salon and in 1937 he was the first Australian to be conferred an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Photographic Society. As a correspondent for Photograms of the Year (UK) for more than twenty years, he was the international voice of Australian photography and created some of the most memorable images of the early twentieth century.)
