Tate Adams produced the 43 wood-engravings of pioneering Australian wineries over the six years leading up to the nation's bicentenary celebrations in 1988. Each winery would have been one hundred or more years old at that time. Today, these exquisite wood engravings only exist in proof editions held at the State Library of Queensland. This their first publication for a wider readership, is a joint initiative of the State Library of Queensland and Macmillan Art Publishing.
