[MARCHAND, Aime, photographer]; EVENING NEWS, SANDHURST (BENDIGO)
WESTERN DISTRICT Photographs of The Burns Boys and the Bark Mill machinery by which they lost their arms at Portland.
1874. Albumen print photograph carte de visite format 104 x 62 mm mount; the negative with caption in manuscript 'A.M. Copyright Registered'; verso with printed title in various fonts 'Photographs of The Burns Boys and the Bark Mill machinery by which they lost their arms at Portland' and 'Copyright Registered / ""Evening News"" office Sandhurst'; the print has a nick at upper right corner but is otherwise in good condition; the verso has some light marks. A rare photograph relating to a horrific accident that occurred in Portland on the far west coast of Victoria on 21 April 1874 involving two young brothers John and Thomas Burns. The photograph was published as one of a series of six cartes de visite of this gruesome subject. One of the other cartes showed the machinery involved in the accident and on its verso was printed the following text: 'How the Accident Occurred. The two brothers Burns who live at Portland aged respectively ten and twelve were going home from school one day in May sic 1874 and on their road stopped at a bark-mill which the elder began to feed and in doing so got his hands caught. The younger brother seeing this called for assistance and in endeavouring to release his brother got his own arms caught. Assistance being near at hand the machinery was stopped which prevented the whole of their bodies being drawn in and crushed to atoms. The doctor who was first called to attend them was equal to the dreadful task and successfully completed his work in less than twenty minutes. On its completion however both he and his attendants wept like children. It is gratifying to observe that the school children of Victoria have contributed the noble sum of over £2000 towards the Burns boys' support and also that the schoolmaster of Portland reports them as being two of the best conducted lads in his school.' The only example of this carte de visite of the Burns Boys we have been able to trace in institutional collections is in the State Library of Victoria which holds all six cartes in the series. However the SLV catalogue entry incorrectly attributes the group to the non-existent photographer Aiḿe Marchaud - a misreading of the actual photographer's name Aimé Marchand. Aimé Marchand was a professional photographer and proprietor of the Royal Photographic Company in Portland. Of French or Belgian origin and possibly formerly an assayer in California he appears to have begun photography in Tarnagulla on the central Victorian goldfields around 1865 as an assistant to A.B. Clay. By the following year he had settled in Portland where he opened the Royal Photographic Studio in Gawler Street. From his base in Portland he toured surrounding districts offering portrait and view services. Marchand earned a ""1st Class Honorable Mention"" in the 1866–67 Intercolonial Exhibition but little else is known about his life. He appears to have left Australia in 1878. A misprint of his name in a local directory as Annie Marchand created the misconception that he was one of only a few named women photographers in the colonies. The first published full account of the Bark Mill accident appeared in the Portland Guardian April 24 1874: 'SAD ACCIDENT TO TWO CHILDREN. On Tuesday last about 2 o'clock p.m. Mr. D. Kay's bark mill at the north end of Percy street was the scene of a frightful accident in which Thomas and John 11 and 9 years of age the sons of Mr Anthony Burns boatman have been both mutilated in a sad way and crippled for life. The circumstances of the accident so far as we can ascertain are as follow :- The two boys on then way to school went to play in the mill which is now sub-let with a number of boys. The eldest boy Thomas commenced feeding the machine with bark whilst the youngest boy John played in the shed or assisted in driving the horse that worked the mill in a circle. In another part of the same shed some boys were shying about pieces of bark already prepared for milling when one of the pieces coming in the direction of young Burns and distracting his attention both hands got caught in the machine spiked rollers and in an incredibly short space of time both arms were drawn in to the shoulders. The lad driving the mill horse terrified at the accident ran away when the younger Burns with a bravery beyond his years after a vain endeavour to stop the horse ran to the assistance of his brother. But here melancholy to relate the poor child was himself caught the right arm waa drawn in above the elbow and the left hand and part of the wrist dragged between the rollers. In this dreadful position both the children remained till some person of sufficient sense reversed the machine when the poor sufferers were taken up more dead than alive from fright and loss of blood. The boys were at once taken to their father's home but some time elapsed before Dr. Brewer's arrival and both at this time had bled so much that little or no blood followed when the quadruple amputation was subsequently performed. We think that the borough council should pass some bye-law compelling the proprietors of bark and other mills to box the machinery so as to guard against future accidents of this dreadful character. A small additional outlay in this case might have been the means of saving these two lads from a mutilation worse than death.' The local and wider community contributed enough funds to ensure that the two boys could be looked after reasonably well in later life. They were both cared for into adulthood by their older brother Harry. John Burns died in 1923 at the age of 60 but unfortunately spent the last part of his life in the lunatic asylum in the nearby town of Ararat. Thomas lived to be 88 dying in 1949. He was an accomplished singer in the choir at All Saints Church Portland. unknown

[Mercury House News]
The Mercury House News. Number 1 December 1936 to Number 14 March 1938 all published
Hobart: Davies Brothers Limited 1936. First Edition. Hardcover. Hobart Davies Brothers Limited 1936 to 1938. Quarto each number comprising 8 pages with illustrations mainly from photographs. Plain binder's cloth a little marked flecked and rubbed at the extremities with the rear cover heavily mottled; endpapers foxed; light tidemark to the bottom corner of three numbers the first two and the last one; trifling signs of use; a very good run. Published during the editorship of Frederick Usher 1931-1943 'The Mercury House News' was 'published monthly by and in the interests of the employees of Davies Brothers'. In the first number the Managing Director C.B. Davies writes that 'There is no reason why this little sheet should not be a means of improving the mutual understanding between employer and employee thereby creating a feeling of confidence and attaining the good fellowship and co-operation between the departments of the whole organisation of Davies Brothers Limited'. The end result is the desired 'blend of humour in general items' with departmental reports that are 'a serious record of the events of the month - improved plant promotions social items sporting news and the like'. However Number 14 is the 'Last Issue. Owing to the regrettable decision of the piece-workers of the Linotype Chapel "that they will not set the matter for HOUSE NEWS unless payment is made for same" and as the publication is entirely a voluntary effort on the part of all employees in which considerable interest has been taken and pleasure derived it is regretted that the publication will cease with this issue'. We thought complete runs of this in-house journal would be scarce but we were very surprised to find no record of any issues at all in Trove. Davies Brothers Limited hardcover

[Northern California – Prison History – Capital Punishment] International News Photos
1938 Press Photo of San Quentin’s Gas Chamber Following the First Two Executions Using It
San Quentin California 1938. Single 6 ½ x 8 ½ inch photograph caption affixed verso and marked verso “CALIF - STATE - PRISON SAN QUENTIN CALIFâ€. Folded at middle marginal wrinkling and small tears; fine contrast very good to excellent. A press photograph looking into the gas chamber at San Quentin Prison taken following the execution of Albert Kessel 1909–1938 and Robert Lee Cannon 1908–1938. The pair were the first to be executed at San Quentin using that method; they were two of five men executed for their role in an attempted escape from Folsom Prison that caused the death of warden Clarence Larkin and a guard. The photo’s caption reads in part:<br /> <br /> “Into these two black chairs Albert Kessel and Robert Lee Cannon were strapped today in the state’s first execution with use of lethal gas. A few seconds later the door was shut and made airtight; witnesses lined around the window and then the deadly cyanide eggs released.â€<br /> <br /> In 1994 the use of cyanide gas was ruled cruel and unusual and banned in California to be replaced by lethal injection; in 2006 a court order halted capital punishment in the state altogether though it is still legal. unknown

[Women]: [African Americana]: [News Industry]: Thompson, Evelyn
Photographic Scrapbook Documenting the Early Journalism Career of Evelyn Thompson Noted Reporter and News Anchor in Arizona
Various locations mostly Phoenix AZ 1980. 24 leaves illustrated with twenty-three mounted photographs plus dozens of mounted ephemeral items including letters documents certificates newspaper clippings and more plus a folder laid in containing television prompt copies. Folio. Contemporary brown vinyl scrapbook string tied. Minor overall wear some old tape stains to most items some items apparently re-mounted likely by a later friend or family member. Overall very good. A wonderful scrapbook celebrating the professional career of Evelyn Lorraine Thompson 1948-2005 on-air reporter and news anchor for KOOL-CBS Radio and Television and KTVK-TV in Phoenix Arizona in the 1970s. Thompson worked for KOOL straight out of college after graduating from Boston University in 1972. She was hired as a writer-producer for morning newscasts then worked as a full-time news reporter. Unusual for the era Thompson also served as KOOL's weekend sports reporter. She later moved to KTVK-TV also in Phoenix where she worked as a news anchor. We could find no other information about Thompson following about 1980 except for her brief obituary in the Arizona Republic.<br /> <br /> The present scrapbook provides a valuable snapshot of Thompson's life and early career through a range of original photographs showing her as a child but with the majority showing her during her working years at KOOL and KTVK. The album also includes numerous letters to Thompson from a variety of correspondents thanking her for stories congratulating her for her positions at the news news releases and other documents announcing her personal appearances newspaper clippings when Thompson appeared in the paper either for a story or as the subject of a story and so forth. The scrapbook even includes the prompt copy of a speech given by her before sorority students at Northern Arizona University. For a deeper look at her life as a reporter or anchor a number of additional prompt copies of some of Thompson's stories are gathered in a manila envelope laid into the scrapbook. The scrapbook also includes award certificates most notably her award as one of the "Outstanding Young Women of America" in 1973. Altogether a unique assemblage of original materials documenting a trailblazing Black reporter and news anchor in the contemporary American West. unknown
