R.F. Irvine was the editor of the short-lived monthly, the Australian Magazine, to which Long was a contributor. The first issue appeared in March 1899 with the idealistic aim of rivalling the Bulletin, as Irvine and his colleagues believed that magazine did not publish the best of their work. Paradoxically, this bookplate was reproduced in the Bulletin (24 June 1899) and subsequently exhibited in the ‘Society of Artists sketch exhibition’ in 1900 (168). Irvine was lecturer in Economics at Sydney University.
