Sydney Ure Smith


Sydney George Ure Smith was an Australian arts publisher and promoter who "did more than any other Australian to publicize Australian art at home and overseas."

Unlike most of his contemporaries, he seldom submitted his work for publication. He published his own work in limited edition books such as Old Sydney (1911) and Old Colonial By-Ways (1928), prompted by his passion for preserving historic buildings.
