Peter Yule’s biography charts the life of Ian Potter, the Australian stockbroker whose Midas touch shaped twentieth-century finance, the arts and medical research. This first edition hardcover from The Miegunyah Press (2006, 429 pp) follows Potter from market novice to visionary philanthropist, revealing how one man’s fortune seeded the nation’s cultural landscape.

Collectors and business-history buffs prize this debut printing for its sturdy binding and intact dust jacket. The book presents clean, unmarked pages—no inscriptions, dog-ears or ex-library stamps—while light edge scuffing on the jacket and a faint page-edge mark are the only gentle reminders of shelf life.

Art & Culture readers will enjoy behind-the-scenes glimpses of the gallery and institutions that still bear Potter’s name; finance enthusiasts will find candid stories of post-war deal-making in Melbourne’s money markets. Together they create a brisk, authoritative portrait of Australia’s most influential patron.

Secure a smoke-free copy of this sought-after biography today and add a cornerstone title to Australiana, business or art-book shelves.
