Exhibition launch: Margaret Senior
A realistic illustration of various Australian fauna in their natural habitat
Join us for the launch of our exhibition celebrating the career of Margaret Senior (1917-1995), an award-winning Australian natural history and children's book illustrator.
The Library holds a large archive of Margaret's original artworks in Special Collections and this is the first time they've been on public display.
Featured are the artist's iconic NSW Parks and Wildlife Service posters, which advocate for the protection of Australia's unique Flora and Fauna.
Images from the exhibition are available for download on the Living Histories repository.
The launch will take place on Level 2 of Auchmuty Library, Callaghan Campus.
