‎VI Seminario Interamericanos de Rayos Cosmicos. VI InterAmerican Seminar of Cosmic Rays. 19 al 25 de Julio de 1970. La Paz Bolivia text on a poster‎

‎La Paz: Impreso en Lito Unidas 1970. La Paz Impreso en Lito Unidas 1970. A large lithographed full-colour pictorial poster 780 × 528 mm unmounted as issued and rolled and stored since then; in fine condition. Provenance: the surname 'Prescott' is written in ink at the foot of the verso. John Russell Prescott 1924-2011 was appointed Professor of Physics at the University of Adelaide in 1971 and from 1982 until his retirement in 1990 he was Elder Professor of Physics. 'His main research interest was in cosmic rays and he founded the cosmic ray research group at the University of Adelaide. While helping excavate at Roonka on the Murray he decided to apply his knowledge of physics to archaeology using the new technique of thermoluminescence dating. He set up a laboratory and luminescence soon began to dominate his academic research particularly after his notional retirement in 1990. <p>His fieldwork included Lake Mungo the Flinders Ranges and other sites in Australia China and Thailand. At the same time his interest in cosmic rays did not diminish and his paper on cosmic ray penetration in sediments is one of the most cited in the luminescence literature' information from his obituary in 'Adelaide Connect' on the University of Adelaide website.

‎A vintage group photograph captioned 'Cricket Match Feb 02 Furreedpore' '1902 Faridpur' in another hand on the verso‎

‎Image size 229 × 286 mm on the original mount 252 × 304 mm with the caption in ink below the image behind a mat with interior quarter-round corners maximum visible image size 223 × 282 mm framed and glazed with a gilt fillet behind the glass. The caption is not visible when the mat is in position; the bottom left-hand corner of the mount and photograph has been broken away and repaired with a 75 mm diagonal crack across that corner visible but unobtrusive; there is a tiny amount of surface loss to the shirt of the player in the centre of the front row; overall a very appealing period piece in an early but not contemporary mat and frame. Furreedpore Faridpur formerly in East Bengal India now Bangladesh has important Australian connections exemplified by this photograph. Silas Mead 1834-1909 a Baptist minister emigrated to South Australia in July 1861; 'he preached at chapels in Adelaide and North Adelaide. Regular services began at White's Rooms and within a month a Baptist Church was constituted with twenty-six members. Inspired by Mead's enthusiastic leadership the congregation decided to build a large church in Flinders Street; it was opened on 19 May 1863. When its cost of £7000 was cleared by 1864 he established at Furreedpore India the first constituted Australian Baptist Foreign Mission and later helped to found similar societies in other Australian colonies'. His son Dr Cecil Silas Mead 1866-1940 followed closely in his footsteps; after graduating from the University of Adelaide in 1891 'he served as a medical missionary in eastern Bengal for twenty-nine years returned to Adelaide to teach anatomy in 1923-39 and died in June 1940' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Dr Mead is second from the right in the top seated row; we have no reason to doubt that this photograph was once in his possession and for all intents and purposes it is unique. A copy of 'Doctor Sahib: The Story of Dr Cecil Silas Mead' by Elva Schroeder 2013 is offered together with the photograph. 2 items. unknown‎

‎A vintage photograph of the St Peter's College team in 'Inter-Collegiate Cricket 1910. PAC 118 and 209 v SPSC 368 and 191'‎

‎A gelatin silver photograph 218 × 294 mm laid down as issued on the original printed mount of the photographer 'E. Ziegler 40 Elizabeth St Norwood' Ernest Charles Victor Ziegler active 1879-1925. The photograph and mount are in superb condition behind glass in the original frame. 'The Advertiser' 11 December 1931 sets the scene for these Inter-Collegiate matches: 'Today the annual cricket match between St Peter's and Prince Alfred Colleges will begin at the Adelaide Oval. Last year the game was played at Prince Alfred College the first time in the history of the matches first played in 1878 that the Adelaide Oval was not available. The match is one of the most important cricket events outside first-class matches in South Australia although in recent years it has failed to sic the importance and drawing power of inter-collegiate matches played before the war. Many famous cricketers have graduated from the college teams'. <p>The 1910 SPSC team - victorious to the tune of 232 runs - was no exception; sitting next to each other are C.E. Pellew and Vice-Captain A.G. Moyes. 'Nip' Pellew played for South Australia 1913-14 to 1928-29 the AIF Touring XI 1919 to 1919-20 and Australia ten Tests in 1920-21. Johnny Moyes a 'promising young cricketer . had represented 1912-15 South Australia making a century on debut been chosen 1914 for Australia in a tour cancelled due to World War I against South Africa and played for Victoria in 1920. In Sydney he achieved one of the highest individual scores in grade cricket when he made 218 runs in 83 minutes for the Gordon District Cricket Club in 1922. he served as a New South Wales selector 1926-27 and wanted Sir Donald Bradman to play for the State' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. For many years he worked as a journalist including fifteen years as sporting editor of 'The Sun' and he published thirteen books on cricket. In 1949 he began 'broadcasting sporting sessions for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. In 1950-51 he covered his first Test series against England. In 1955 he received a full-time contract. As a cricket broadcaster he became a household name in Australia and New Zealand in the 1950s and early 1960s' ADB. unknown‎

‎Bodywhine. A Treatise on the Jardinian Theory. Cartoons by R.W. Blundell with a Few Words by V.M. Branson‎

‎Adelaide: Rigby Ltd 1933. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide Rigby Ltd. 1933. Small oblong folio 40 pages including the covers with illustrations on 24 pages 16 full-page and the front cover. Two-colour pictorial card covers recently reattached with the spine reinforced on the verso; an excellent copy of an absolute rarity. 'The Book has been written for the new regime of cricket; the batter bruise and bust cricket which has been thrust upon us. This travesty of an erstwhile noble sport demands new techniques to master it . We find after years of research that all previous books on cricket dealt mainly with batting bowling fielding and records. It is not now sufficient to wield a polished bat to execute a classic leg-glance or a neat on-drive' - you get the drift. The delicious irony is that this copy has the contemporary ownership details of a young Jeff Pash 1916-2005 then aged about 17. A few years later in 1939 he was awarded the Magarey Medal as the 'Fairest and Most Brilliant' player in the South Australian National Football League. Rigby Ltd paperback‎

‎[Cricket]. Australia, 1930‎

‎One leaf in a small autograph album leaf size 80 × 138 mm signed in ink on the recto only by seven members of the Australian squad selected to tour England in 1930‎

‎The signatories are a'Beckett Fairfax Grimmett Hurwood Kippax Oldfield and Walker. The signatures were collected by the parents of a five year-old boy when the family travelled on the same ship as the cricketers on the voyage to England in early 1930. The leaves are the first two in an album with the printed image of the ship the Orient Line's SS 'Orford' on the front cover; some of the leaves are held in place with clear paper tape but the overall condition is very good. <p>The page was also signed in pencil by Victor Richardson and again by Walker but the young owner went over these signatures in ink after first having tried to erase the second Walker signature written at right angles along the right-hand side at the end of the other signatures. The balance of the squad's signatures on another page are similarly gone over. However among the seven decent signatures there are some famous names as well as some rare and interesting Test players. Ted a'Beckett played in four Tests; Alec Hurwood played in only two Tests; Charlie Walker toured twice 1930 and 1938 without playing in a Test match due to injuries and he was killed in action in a bombing mission over Germany in 1942. unknown‎

‎Adelaide: Government Printer 1893. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide Government Printer 1893. Octavo 207 pages plus the separately-issued very large folding map 680 × 1500 mm. Wrappers with the full title page details repeated on the front cover expertly stabilized around the edges with minor infill; an excellent copy now loosely inserted in the rear pocket of a custom-made book-form cover with the map with short tears along a few folds expertly sealed in the front pocket. The journal was originally published with two maps; they are basically identical but one has added chromolithographic geological features and a key. This second map is not offered here. McLaren 12614 the dimensions for the maps are larger than those we have recorded here because McLaren invariably - and frustratingly - measures the size of the sheet of paper not the printed surface. See also McLaren 12616 for the foolscap folio edition South Australian Parliamentary Paper Number 45 of 1893. The folio edition has a stated print run of 750 copies; apparently only 500 copies of the octavo edition were printed. This copy has a small paper label mounted on the inside front wrapper: 'Publication No. 30. Permanent Record. 1938. Govt. Printer' with the signature in ink of Frank Trigg the incumbent. Lindsay's introduction hints at some of the personality problems that ultimately led to the abandonment of the expedition. This final report includes his own journal 'also a copy of Mr. Wells' journal kept during my absence from the party. Mr. Streich's journal having been in my possession I was enabled to place his geological descriptions on the map. Not having seen the journals or reports of Messrs. Leech Elliot and Helms I cannot in any way refer to them. I regret that Mr. Leech should have seen fit not to hand in the pencil sketches made by him'. Government Printer paperback‎
