Visions of a Republic: The Art and Legacy of Lucien Henry - Perfect for Art Collectors, History Enthusiasts & Home Decor

Visions of a Republic presents the extraordinary and little known work of French-Australian artist Lucien Henry (1850 - 1896), whose vision for an Australian school of decorative arts and design was developed in the period leading up to Australian federation. It places Henry's project for an 'Australian Decorative Arts' in the wider context of other architectural, botanical, design and public-education projects from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century.
