C T Stanage explores the sources and character of the dominant visual representation of Western Australia in the interwar years. The beauty of the images is placed within an understanding of the power of conservative ideology and its origins in rural England, and the history of England and the Empires.
The arch-exponents of this vision of past, present and future in Western Australia were photographer Fred Flood and water colour artist Amy Heap and their vehicle, the Western Mail. (book flap)
