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.
