Overview

Original design and fashion sketches produced by the artist together with examples of final brochures, advertising features, etc.

From the late 1940's through to at least the mid 1960's the artist worked both in Australia and in New Zealand for several companies including; Lane Walker Rudkin, Farmers and Company and James Smith's producing artwork. At times Kate Coolahan also worked freelance on a number of projects.

There are also a small number of works which may not have been produced by the artist (these are marked).
