John Gartner was a fine printer and publisher, an author, a noted philatelist, and also collector of Australian banknotes and coins. He was born on 16 July 1914 and was largely self-educated, leaving school at fourteen for work following the death of his father. Gartner developed a strong interest in the history of typography and printing and was apprenticed at the Advocate where his father had been a linotype operator. Aged 17, Gartner bought a hand press and some fonts of type, and in 1937 acquired a platen press from which he set and printed his private press books, published under the imprint of The Hawthorn Press. Gartner had a strong collection of Australian bookplates. He also looked at the work of artists overseas and commissioned personal plates. He subsequently built an international collection with preference for artists who printed from wood. His initial searches were in Belgium and Holland.(http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-84/t1-g-t7.html) Framed black and white line drawing of a monkey dressed as a clown riding a crawling man with crown.bookplate, keith wingrove memorial trust, australian bookplate design award, printmaking, available, available framed bookplate, framed bookplate

This item was likely owned by Elaine Morris (then Nobelius) as a teenager, some time in the late 1940s. This is corroborated by the existence of advertising for this specific product from 1949, and its likely contemporaneity with VEMU2293 which has adverting from a similar time period. It was found in a Monkey Pyjama Case (VEMU2288) that belonged to Elaine, alongside several other items of clothing (VEMU2293-5). It was manufactured by the Sutex company, which had multiple manufacturing locations in Victoria - including Inglewood and Bendigo.This item belonged to a member of the Nobelius family and is a identifiable example of 1940s clothing.This item is a set of Sutex "Satinswade Pantees". The original advertisement describes them as follows: "Well cut, elastic at waist, cuff leg, in shades Peach and White. For excellent wearing." Seventy years later, this pair - the white version, though it now looks closer to cream - has suffered significant damage, with three large cuts from the waistline, significant staining, and holes from wear between the legs. It was size OS (Outsized).Tag: "Sutex / LUXURY LINGERIE / Satinswade / O.S"clothing, elaine nobelius, nobelius family, 1940s
