Queensland poetry by George Essex Evans illustrated by Alexander Phillip Sass in a mythological medieval style with numerous nude female figures. Queen of the North: A Jubilee Ode has previously been misattributed as a posthumous publication, Evans having died in November of 1909, however this has been proven incorrect, and is actually the final published work. This copy in the superior leather binding with a photographic portrait of Evans which is not present in the standard edition.
