• Notes:
  C. J. Dennis, as editor of the Adelaide Gadfly, had accepted contributions from Gye during 1906-07. They met later in Melbourne and when Dennis requested ‘decorations’ for The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke (1915), a most successful collaboration followed. Gye stayed with Dennis at Toolangi, producing the whimsical ‘bloke cupids’; he was to provide the illustrations for most of Dennis’s works
