When Henry Handel Richardson died in March 1946 the first and certainly the most substantial Australian obituary was a two-page, illustrated essay in the Sydney Daily Telegraph of 30 March, written by the Editor of the paper, Brian Penton. Almost 5,000 words long, it contains a wealth of information and insights drawn from a series of monthly visits he made to Richardson at her home in Primrose Hill, London, from 1931 to 1933, the first in company with Norman Lindsay.When Henry Handel Richardson died in March 1946 the first and certainly the most substantial Australian obituary was a two-page, illustrated essay in the Sydney Daily Telegraph of 30 March, written by the Editor of the paper, Brian Penton.
