York Hotel Adelaide
An advertisement for the York Hotel Adelaide illustrated with an original photograph by Bernard Goode
The advertisement comprises a captioned card approximately 253 � 200 mm verso blank with an original albumen paper photograph upper corners rounded 140 � 160 mm mounted in the centre. Mount a little creased at the corners photograph lightly foxed and both are lightly marked; in excellent condition. The caption reads in full 'York Hotel Adelaide. Corner of Rundle and Pulteney Streets C.A. Hornabrook Proprietor'. The photograph is credited to 'B. Goode Photographer Rundle Street Adelaide'. While undated the photograph shows the hotel before it was remodelled in the 1870s; it is similar to an uncredited 1866 image held by the State Library of South Australia B 7849. The present image is superior as it includes two carriages and around ten figures outside and on the first-floor verandah of the premises. Provenance: Alexander John Morison Town Clerk of Adelaide 1937-46 with his ownership details and the following note in pencil on the verso: 'From Mrs Champion Hackett 2/10/39'. unknown

Changing Skin Colour in Australia: Herbert Basedow and the Black Caucasian. Including Herbert Basedow's 'Knights of the Boomerang' and David Kraus's essay 'On the Photography of Herbert Basedow'
North Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing. 2019. Octavo Size. MINT - a NEW copy. Illustrated with Black and White Photographs. Includes Herbert Basedow's 'Knights of the Boomerang' and David Kaus's essay 'On the Photography of Herbert Basedow'. Robust professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 324 pages "When in 1997 the Bringing Them Home Report about the forcible removal of part-Aboriginal children from their parents was published many Australians felt stunned and ashamed. What was such a brutal policy of biological engineering meant to achieve and who were the men behind it One of them was Dr Herbert Basedow 1881–1933 from Adelaide a geologist medical doctor M.P. and anthropologist. He unwittingly provided the administrators of the White Australia policy with a bloodless method of 'breeding out the colour' of biologically absorbing Aborigines into the white-settler society. His studies in Germany had convinced him that Aborigines were the racial ancestors of Europeans that they were black Caucasians and therefore Aboriginal features disappeared for good after three or four generations of intermarriage with Europeans. Dr Basedow was a scientist and he never intended to harm countless Aboriginal families. On the contrary he dedicated much of his short life to extending their future. But the removal of children did not stop in 1953 when the structure of DNA was discovered and rendered Basedow's findings of 1910 untenable. It only ended with the White Australia policy itself." Publisher's commentary. . New. Reprint. Softcover. Australian Scholarly Publishing paperback
