SWEET, Captain Samuel White
A vintage full-plate albumen paper photograph of a group of fourteen Ngarrindjeri Narrinyeri men at the graveside of the Reverend George Taplin at Point McLeay South Australia
George Taplin 1831-1879 missionary and teacher began his work with the Ngarrindjeri in April 1859; the 'site he chose for a settlement on the shores of Lake Alexandrina was a traditional camping ground called Raukkan The Ancient Way known to Europeans as Point McLeay. Keenly interested in Ngarrindjeri culture and society he learned their language used it in preaching and translated and published Bible tracts. He published invaluable anthropological studies which were much superior to contemporary work on South Australian Aboriginals. Despite his sympathy with the people and their traditions Taplin adhered to the contemporary view that Christianity and Europeanization should be adopted and Ngarrindjeri civilization abandoned; as a result he assisted in undermining their government and social structure further weakened traditional discipline and morale within the confederacy and provoked strong opposition from conservative tribal members. But they had been dispossessed and persecuted before his arrival and by helping them become literate and numerate and to acquire trades he enabled them to survive and flourish briefly in European society. Today hundreds of their descendants remain in various districts of Australia; their durability can largely be attributed to Taplin. He was a compassionate Christian and a courageous fighter. Exhausted he died of heart disease at Raukkan on 24 June 1879 survived by his wife and six children. He was buried in the village cemetery' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. <p>The photograph 163 × 220 mm shows the newly-installed headstone which was 'Erected By The Aborigines'. It is on the original mount captioned along the bottom margin 'S.W. Sweet Photo. Flinders Street Adelaide'. The acidic mount is discoloured lightly stained and unevenly trimmed; the top right-hand corner is broken away taking with it a small triangular piece of the photograph approximately 10 × 45 mm of the sky; the sepia-toned print is a little speckled confined mainly to the left and right margins but overall it is a very arresting image. <p>The only example recorded in Trove in the State Library of SA appears to be of better quality but it is not for sale and more importantly the photographer is not identified. This significant fact may now be added to the record. <p>Captain Samuel White Sweet 1825-1886 was a sea captain surveyor and photographer: after he was censured when his ship ran aground in 1875 he 'retired from the sea opened a photographic studio in Adelaide and concentrated on landscapes.

Vintage nineteenth-century photographs of the Bank of South Australia and the Royal Adelaide Hospital mounted back-to-back on a card leaf detached from an album
Fine. Albumen paper photographs each approximately 157 × 207 mm in fine condition; the mount has a few trifling blemishes. The Bank of South Australia building still stands on King William Street Adelaide. The photographer's credit and reference number 'Sweet Adelaide 92' is scratched in the negative. The imposing hospital buildings now demolished are photographed from an elevated vantage point probably the roof of the Botanic Hotel across North Terrace and the wide-angled view shows a sparsely-developed city now lost to history. The reference to Sweet was painted out in the original negative before this print was made suggesting it may be a posthumous print.

Albumen paper photographs each approximately 157 × 207 mm; the road scene has been printed from a broken negative and a hairline crack and small fingerprint are visible in the central portion of the sky; the top margin of the mount on this side has some spots of residual glue and the bottom edge of the mount on the other side has a few trifling surface chips; overall the condition is excellent. The photographer's credit and reference number 'Sweet Adelaide 335' is scratched in the negative of the City Bridge the second bridge built over the Torrens at that spot in 1877. Oarsmen in four boats in the foreground have clearly paused for the event as have the numerous pedestrians on the bridge. The second photograph shows Adelaide's twin towers - the Town Hall and the GPO - in the distance but the most prominent features of the scene are the tall eucalypts lining the road and the cart-horses drinking at a shaded trough. <p>Captain Samuel White Sweet 1825-1886 was a sea captain surveyor and photographer: after he was censured when his ship ran aground in 1875 he 'retired from the sea opened a photographic studio in Adelaide and concentrated on landscapes.
