The routine transcriptions sketches photographs prosaic notes and loosely inserted cuttings by family friends and acquaintances are enlivened by several topical watercolours mounted in the book‎

‎A pen-and-wash of a camp site on the banks of the River Murray by an unidentified artist 118 x 178 mm within a decorative border is upstaged by two well-executed no pun intended and graphic watercolours by Charles Angas a grandson of George Fife Angas. His father was John Howard Angas; George French Angas was his uncle. They are signed and dated 1881 and both depict hunting dogs. The first '"Mabel" single-handed The Farm March 81' 90 x 190 mm shows a dog in hot pursuit of a rabbit; the second '"Loo" and "Euchre" The Farm 27.12.80' 155 x 112 mm shows two dogs in a tangle with a rabbit in between them being savaged by the pair. What young Laura thought of it coming as it does between large slabs of Moore and Byron is anybody's guess . The Farm is almost certainly Collingrove near Angaston. unknown‎

He was chairman of the board of advice for the school district of Adelaide in 1883-1901 and became particularly interested in technical education considering it "the master-key to that efficiency without which there can be no industrial or commercial success". In 1886 he was appointed to a board to inquire into technical education and as a result of its report the South Australian School of Mines and Industries was established; from 1888 until his death he was a member and for fifty years president of its council' Australian Dictionary of Biography.

‎GILL Harry Pelling‎

‎An original watercolour painting possibly of a sparsely settled Adelaide seaside suburb; unsigned but the artist is identified on the verso as H.P. Gill‎

‎The watercolour on paper 135 � 227 mm is unmounted; apart from a tiny light crease to one top corner it is in fine condition. It is undated but probably circa 1900. Harry Pelling Gill 1855-1916 art curator and teacher was born in England; he trained and taught at the Royal College of Art from 1877-82. He was then appointed master of the school of design in Adelaide. 'He arrived in Adelaide in September and organized elementary and advanced classes instruction in crafts teaching of drawing and correspondence lessons. He also gave instruction to trainee teachers. In 1889 Gill became director for technical art . He published books on geometrical drawing and design . In 1892 he was appointed honorary curator of the art gallery and following the resignation in December of Louis Tannert as master of the school of painting Gill assumed control of all the board's art teaching activities. Gill had shown promise as an artist and hoped to win repute in Australia. However teaching and administration had left little time for his painting. His rare decorative and aesthetic compositions and also his landscapes are painted with meticulous detail without sacrificing the overall unified effect. This is a quality passed on to some of his students including the Hambidge sisters and Gustave Barnes in his early work. Gill's landscapes and some of his interiors show that he was interested in the accurate rendering of light - a rare quality in Adelaide before 1900' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. This charming painting - of coastal tea tree or similar flourishing prominently against a backdrop of a few substantial dwellings scattered along a line in the relatively featureless landscape - certainly satisfies these criteria. unknown‎

‎BABBAGE Benjamin Herschel‎

‎A comprehensive collection of Parliamentary Papers pertaining to the explorations in South Australia of Benjamin Herschel Babbage 1815-1878 'engineer scientist and explorer . son of Charles Babbage Cambridge professor of mathematics and the first computer pioneer and his wife Georgina sister of W.W. Whitmore a founder of South Australia. In 1856 Babbage was sent north to search for gold as far as the Flinders Ranges. He found none but discovered the MacDonnell River Blanchewater and Mount Hopeful‎

‎He was the first to dispel the current idea of the impassability of the Lake Torrens 'horseshoe'. In late 1857 he was appointed leader of a northern expedition. Babbage left in February 1858 to explore the country between Lakes Torrens and Gairdner and further to the north and west. His concept of exploration was based on thorough survey mapping and examination of the country ideals with which Francis Dutton commissioner of crown lands agreed in his instructions and early correspondence. With cumbrous and ingenious equipment Babbage carried out the first part hampered by bad terrain and lack of water. But he had no sense of urgency and was thus completely out of tune with the current concept of opening up new country for quick exploitation. His slowness led to public and parliamentary clamour to which Dutton later succumbed and sent Peter Egerton Warburton to supersede him. Meanwhile Babbage had moved north from the Elizabeth River discovered Hermit Hill and delineated the western shores of Lake Eyre South. There Warburton relieved him on 5 November. Based on his experiences of 1856 Babbage also believed in a gap in the "horseshoe" and at Hermit Hill confirmed his belief. He had actually crossed the gap but Warburton was the first to traverse it completely. On grounds of unfair treatment Babbage successfully petitioned for a parliamentary inquiry. In 1858-59 voluminous evidence was taken but no report issued. He then withdrew from public life until 1866. In 1870-72 Charles Todd employed Babbage as an assistant in planning and plotting the Overland Telegraph line and as a supervisor of contractors. His achievements as an explorer were notable but the accompanying controversy tended unduly to overshadow them and his attainments in other fields' Australian Dictionary of Biography. Indeed 'the reports from the expedition were . a significant prelude to Stuart's successful crossing of the continent from south to north' in 1861-62 The Davidson Collection Third Sale July 2007 lot 565. This lengthy preamble should help explain the connection between the following eleven foolscap folio Parliamentary Papers relating to Benjamin Babbage published in Adelaide by the Government Printer in 1858 and 1859. 1 Northern Exploration. Reports &c of Explorations into the Interior by Messrs. Babbage Warburton Geharty and Parry. SAPP25/1858; 51 pages plus 2 large folding maps. 2 Northern Exploration. Further Correspondence respecting the Exploring Party under Command of Mr. Babbage. SAPP25/1858; 6 pages. 3 Cost of Northern Exploration. SAPP36/1858; 1 page. 4 Northern Exploration. Correspondence between the Hon. the Commissioner of Crown Lands and the Commissioner of Police Major Peter Egerton Warburton relative to the Progress of the Northern Exploring Parties. SAPP127/1858; 4 pages. 5 Northern Explorations. Reports from Messrs Babbage and Warburton and Police-Trooper Burtt on Exploration into the North and North-Western Interior of South Australia. SAPP151/1858; 19 pages plus 3 maps 2 folding. 6 Petition of B.H. Babbage. SAPP154/1858; 1 page. 7 Northern Exploration. Letter with Enclosure from Major Warburton relative to Exploration in the Neighborhood of Lake Torrens. SAPP159/1858; 3 pages. 8 Northern Exploration. Correspondence between the Honourable the Commissioner of Crown Lands and Major Warburton relative to the Northern Exploration. SAPP166/1858; 6 pages. 9 Cost of Northern Explorations. SAPP20/1859; 1 page. 10 Minutes of Evidence taken by the Select Committee appointed to enquire into and report on the Petition of B.H. Babbage. SAPP21/1859; 63 pages. 11 Northern Exploration. Correspondence between the Government and Messrs. Babbage and Warburton relative to Northern Explorations. SAPP37/1859; 2 pages. As often with these Parliamentary Papers relating to expeditions the maps are a constant source of pleasure. The best one in this group is one of the large folding maps in SAPP25/1858: 'Sketch of the Country North of the Gawler Ranges' 324 x 485 mm. It is a lithographed map printed in two colours in an unusual manner blue on the left red on the right: 'The portion in Blue is taken from a Plan supplied by Major Warburton. The portion in Red is taken from a Drawing supplied by Mr Babbage'. Recently bound in two matching volumes according to year of publication in cloth lettered in gilt on the front cover; all Parliamentary Papers printed on blue stock are in uniformly fine condition.

Items 16481 16485 and 16486 are listed under Warburton only and not Babbage as well.
