‎[AUSTRALIE] — [GOULD (John)]‎

‎Euphema Aurantia. [Perruche à ventre orange].‎

‎Vers 1840. Aquarelles originales sur papier Whatman (30,5 x 23 cm).‎

‎Ensemble de 2 jolies aquarelles attribuables à John Gould représentant des perruches à ventre orange (la femelle et le mâle). Chacune porte la mention manuscrite à l'encre Euphemia Aurantia, Gould. Ces oiseaux migrateurs passent l'été sur les côtes sud-ouest de la Tasmanie, puis migrent ensuite vers les côtes de l'État de Victoria et de l'Australie-Méridionale où ils passent l'hiver. C'est une espèce protégée en voie de disparition. On estime qu'il en reste 150 en liberté et 150 en captivité. John Gould était un ornithologue et naturaliste britannique. En 1838, il voyagea jusqu'en Australie pour y étudier les oiseaux et réaliser le premier travail scientifique à leur sujet. De retour au Royaume-Uni en 1840, il publia le compte-rendu de ses observations dans The Birds of Australia en sept volumes (1840-1848), dans lequel il présente 600 oiseaux dont 328 nouveaux pour la science. Nos aquarelles sont reproduites planche 39 du volume V de cet ouvrage. Bon état de conservation. Papier un peu brûni.‎

La colonie de Victoria, sous cette forme, ne datait que de 1851, époque à laquelle elle fut séparée de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud : une loi du Parlement britannique séparant le Victoria de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud fut d'abord signée par la reine Victoria, le 5 août 1850 ; elle fut suivie par une loi d'habilitation votée par le Conseil législatif de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud le 1er juillet 1851. Mais le moment officiel de la séparation de la colonie du Victoria de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud ne fut établi que par l'article 1 de la loi de 1851. Il fallut cependant attendre 1856 pour voir la formation d'un parlement régulier. I.

‎[Australian Daguerreotypes]. RADFORD, Thomas and Mary‎

‎A pair of quarter-plate daguerreotype portraits each approximately 100 × 80 mm of Thomas Radford 1795-1867 and his wife Martha 1796-1867‎

‎The Radfords were born in Devon emigrated to South Australia in October 1838 and lived in the Barossa Valley from the mid-1840s until their death. From the perceived ages of the subjects these images would appear to date from the 1850s. Other later images of the Radfords are held in the State Library of South Australia. They substantiate the identification and confirm that these daguerreotypes by an anonymous photographer are of rural South Australian origin as the Radfords did not leave the colony after they arrived here in 1838. Both images are in excellent condition with the original brass mats one a little tarnished preservers and glass but uncased as found. Any daguerreotype of Australian origin is rare rural South Australian ones excessively so in our experience. 2 items. unknown‎

‎[Australia Day, 1915]‎

‎Australia Day 30th July 1915. Souvenir. In Aid of Funds for Wounded Soldiers . cover title‎

‎Sydney: Trustees of the National Art Gallery of NSW 1915. Very Good. Sydney Trustees of the National Art Gallery of NSW 1915. Quarto a portfolio containing 7 plates tipped in on thin gilt-captioned card mounts external dimensions 220 × 285 mm housed in the original glassine sleeve. A portfolio of gilt-lettered dark green paper over thin card a little bowed; extremities a little rubbed with minor wear to the head of the spine; front pastedown unevenly discoloured; overall in excellent condition the contents are fine. The first plate is a photographic view of the Gallery building; the others reproduce paintings by Arthur Burgess George Lambert William Lister Lister Fred Mahony A. de Neuville France and Sir Luke Fildes Britain. The only war-related images are one of the Australian Fleet in 1913 and 'The Defence of Rorke's Drift' from the Zulu War in 1879! Several relics of the day are pinned to the flaps on the rear cover of the portfolio: a large inscribed gum leaf surmounted by the Australian Coat of Arms printed on a small card disc with an attached blue ribbon; a stickpin with a small enamel Australian flag; a flower made out of felt; and a white ribbon tied in a bow with a small piece of red white and blue ribbon around the centre. <p>For the record the Sir John Monash Centre at the Australian National Memorial in France has this to say about Australia Day: 'In 1915 Australia Day was part of a fundraising plan for Australian troops serving in the war to help improve the general living conditions of the soldiers and to enable the Red Cross and other organisations such as the South Australians Soldiers' Fund to provide more comfort and care for injured and ill Australian soldiers. <p>It was the mother of four Australian soldiers Mrs Ellen Wharton-Kirke who suggested the organisation of a national patriotic fundraising day to celebrate Australia's military achievements in the conflict and help improve the lives of Australians serving on the front line. The idea was taken up by the government and the date of the first "Australia Day" was set for 30 July 1915. <p>Three months after the landing of Australian troops in Gallipoli Australian communities took part in Australia Day. During this day marches fairs auctions and performances are organised all over Australia to raise funds for the troops. <p>Commemorative items such as ribbons handkerchiefs badges or matchboxes were made and sold in the streets of Australia. The messages written on these objects appealed to Australian patriotic sentiment and the development of a strong national identity. The day was also an opportunity for those who could not serve to support the troops. <p>In 1915 Australia Day was a success and continued in the subsequent years to support the troops fighting on the frontline. It was not until 1935 that Australia Day became Australia's national holiday and was celebrated on 26 January'. Trustees of the National Art Gallery of NSW unknown‎

These substantial land promotion albums appear to have been designed to tout the advantages for potential homesteaders investors and visitors to Australia from the end of the Roaring 20’s into the Great Depression. Nearly 200 photos depicting bustling cities & shipping ports mines manufacturing burgeoning housing sports flora & fauna and some of the indigenous Australian Aborigine peoples extol the possibilities in Oceania’s economic engine. Following World War I Australia had seen massive changes in population and increasing economic and social changes following the devastation of World War I and the worldwide influenza pandemic with over 215000 killed and wounded between both catastrophes. With the onset of the Great Depression economic activity slowed and unemployment soared to nearly 20%. These albums include several photos of the newly constructed Canberra Provisional Parliament House completed in 1927 with bare land and little infrastructure nearby except for the Hotel Canberra. Designed originally to hold politicians and visitors when the parliament was in session the Hotel was built by contractor John Howie and designed by John Smith Murdoch. Several photos of Sydney Australia the streets a flapper driving her sporty 1927 Chevrolet Capitol AA Roadster and the famed beaches of Sydney. Several photos depict the Australian Lifesaving Clubs which began in 1907 as surf life saving with the Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club but which denied full membership to women until 1980. One particular photo depicts a young comely Australian woman surfer leaning against her wooden longboard only about 15 years after Isabel Letham’s famed ride with Duke Kahanamoku in 1915. Many of the Sydney images reveal a capitol city in transition including horse-drawn cars alongside 1920’s automobiles and electric trolleys and trams. Also featured are photographs of the New Castle Steel works the Lithgow Steel Works whose blast furnace site closed in 1928 and the Mt. Boppy gold mining process mill depicting the cyanid vats to extract the ore. Still others show the Burrinjack Dam construction which had begun before World War I but not finished until 1928; horse-drawn silver ore mining wagons in the Barrgorang Valley from the Yerranderle Mines along roads to Camden NSW; orchards long the McDonald River and raising rabbits for the New South Wales Wool & Fur Co. Ltd. at Castle HIll near Parramatta. Also featured are many aerial and street photos of Queensland Brisbane Docks Victoria Bridge Queen Street with streetcars horse breaking in outback stations grape & cotton harvesting children attending “Bush Schools†and more. Still more reveal the bustling wharves at the Freemantle sheep sheering railway yards boaters on Henley-on-Yarra Flinders Street Station wheat harvest and farming and even the one of the famed wheat windjammers “The Carnandale.†Several of the photos depict the indigenous Australian Aborigines with one of the captions noting that 60000 “Full-Blood and 19000 half-caste Aborigines with 40000 still nomadic and others working sheep and cattle stations.†Another photo is included of two young Maori girls as well.The second album also contains views of a traveling salesman or traveling “Bust Hawker†featuring a horse-drawn wagon with sides hinged up and shoppers as well as aerial photos of gardens banana plantations date farms logging Kerri Trees in Western Australia and an entire section devoted to photos of Australian fauna. These depict Wombats Kangaroos pink & white Cockatoos Cassowary birds Wallabys Barn Owls Koala Bears Black Swans Opossums a Platypus Lyre-birds Kokaburra birds Australian penguins and others. Identified photographs by John Beattie Jr. from Beatties Studio Hobart Tasmania include Mt. Rugby from Balmoral Beach Big Ben Gum Tree on the estate of W.L. Clennett Saw Mill Proprietor Port Esperance whose height was nearly 250 feet as well as Dobson’s Basin Geeveston depicting a remarkable group of fen tree bowers. Originally founded in the 1840’s by the Anson Brothers John Beattie d. 1930 son of a Scottish-Australian emigre photographer worked for them in the 1880’s and then purchased the business renaming it Beatties Studio. He operated the studio for decades was the photographer who first developed all of Amundsen’s original photos of his South Pole Expedition in a single day and was an active proponent of the indigenous Aborigine population often defying popular opinion and authority over their historical mistreatment. Sadly a 1933 fire destroyed the studio and most of the negatives but it was reconstituted and many negatives and images rediscovered afterwards.

‎Biography of Adelaide Ristori‎

‎Sydney: Caxton Steam Machine Printing Office 1871. Wraps. Very good - condition. Scarce biographical booklet the only one on Ristori published in Sydney describing the life of the Italian actress Adelaide Ristori renowned as a tragedienne. Ristori visited Australia with a large Italian entourage for 4 months in 1875 performing in Ballarat Melbourne and Sydney and this booklet was likely published as a promotional piece for the tour.<br /> <br /> This Australian booklet is not dated although Ferguson's Bibliography of Australia assigns a date ca. 1871. It was translated from Italian into English to be used as an advertising piece for Ristori's 1875 Australia tour. It was published at the Caxton printing office which was functioning under that name until 1876.<br /> <br /> Adelaide Ristori 1822 - 1906 toured widely including Paris 1855 1856 London Madrid 1857 and the United States 1866. The booklet describes Ristori's American visits: the first tour was mainly in the North the events of the Civil War making a stop in New Orleans impossible. Ristori did eventually visit there reciting pieces at the grand bazaar following which she "had to accept a sumptuous supper which was attended by the leading people of the South headed by the generals Beauregard and Lee". p19.<br /> <br /> In 1875 after one of her American tours she traveled to Australia where her company's lavish productions of historical drama were performed in Italian. Ristori performed the roles of Medea Mary Stuart and the title role in Elizabeth Queen of England written especially for her by Paolo Giacometti. Such was Ristori's popularity that in Victoria a company working several gold mines on the rich Berry Lead near Allendale north of Ballarat was named Ristori after her. This led to an adjoining town being named Ristori Town.<br /> <br /> 8vo 29pp. Printed glossy paper wrappers the title printed in black at front wrapper with "Adelaide Ristori" in an elaborate type font.
