Vintage, Harley Matthews, pub. P. R. Stephensen, Sydney, 1938. Quarto. 51 pp. Maroon cloth, areas of fading at margins, but a rather nice, solid copy of this now very scarce title, inscribed by Matthews to the half-title. No limitation number is evident, but only 100 copies were produced. Matthews [1889-1968] wrote these poems based on his experience at Gallipoli. He later turned to wine production, hence the book's title, establishing a vineyard on the Georges River outside Sydney. The vineyard became a meeting place for a Bohemian crowd. During WW2, Mathews was interned by the government despite his excellent war record and the fact that Jacob Epstein had modelled a sculpture, now in the Imperial War Museum, of Mathews' head to represent the gallantry of the Anzac forces. Australian military intelligence believed - wrongly - that Mathews was sympathetic to the pro-Axis Australia First Movement. After the war, he lived alone at his farm in Ingleburn outside of Sydney. A very scarce title, and an important contribution in the genre of Australian war poetry.
