Adelaide: Government Printer 1883. Very Good. Adelaide Government Printer 1883 1883 1883 and 1884. Foolscap folio four reports 3; 4; 2; and 3 pages. Drop-title; small notches and tiny pinholes in the inner margins where bound now disbound; tiny nick to the top edge throughout with the top margin of the first page of the first report slightly discoloured; overall in excellent condition. South Australian Parliamentary Papers Number 53 53A 54 and 54A of 1883-84; only 670 copies of each of the last three reports were published. Although these reports are numbered consecutively the periods covered are the last quarter of 1882 and the last three quarters of 1883; there is no report for the first quarter of 1883 probably because of the departure of the long-serving Government Resident Edward Price in that period. <p>The usual pastoral mining and agricultural reports are enlivened in the last paper by Acting Government Resident Gilbert McMinn's detailed account of his success in finding Stuart's marked tree at his last camp near the mouth of the Mary River. This discovery removed 'the last shadow of doubt in connection with the great explorer's achievement' brought on by Stuart's mistaken belief that he was following the Adelaide River.

Report on Northern Territory. The Report of the Commissioner of Crown Lands and Immigration of his Official Visit to the Northern Territory via Galle Singapore Java Macassar and Timor
Adelaide: Government Printer 1873. Fine. Adelaide Government Printer 1873. Foolscap folio 10 pages. Drop-title; four small holes in the left-hand margins where stab-sewn when bound now neatly disbound; essentially a fine copy. South Australian Parliamentary Paper Number 55 of 1873. Reynolds was away for approximately fifteen weeks and his report is full of matters pertinent to his portfolio - land its uses and people to use it. 'Any person visiting these islands who considers the number of their inhabitants the peculiar adaptability of the people for tropical and semi-tropical lands their habits their general industry the rapid increase of population in these islands - which threatens ere long to burst through its present geographical limits . then takes up the map of Australia and especially that portion our Northern Territory - can draw no other inference but that Nature and Providence combine to show that the Northern Territory of Australia is destined to become by its striking geographical position the point where the superabundant population of those islands may find a foothold and a home where millions of acres wait for the occupancy of a race just adapted to their special wants'. <p>He spent from 17 May to 11 June in the Northern Territory and got stuck into things - and people - and recommended that the entire control of the Territory be 'under one experienced responsible head'. However something struck a chord with him; shortly after he returned to Adelaide he resigned from his position and 'Attracted by business opportunities in the Territory he went back and opened a store. This was not successful and in February 1875 he and his wife embarked on SS "Gothenburg" for the return journey to Adelaide - and went down with the ship off the Queensland coast' 'Northern Territory Dictionary of Biography' Volume 1.

[Opalotype Photograph]
A fine nineteenth century example of a hand-painted head-and-shoulders opalotype portrait of an unidentified woman
The photograph is mounted behind an oval blood-red matt gilded on the bevelled edge visible image size 365 × 260 mm; these are surmounted by a second matt with an attractively scalloped inner edge. It is behind glass in an impressive vintage wooden frame - almost certainly of huon pine 80 mm wide - with a very ornate gilt fillet above the glass. The external dimensions are 680 × 555 mm; the visible surface of the glass is 490 × 360 mm. Opalotypes also called opaltypes and 'milk glass positives' are photographs printed on sheets of opaque translucent white glass. The process was patented in 1857 and although it survived until the 1920s this portrait from the later nineteenth century would have to be considered a very fine example of its type. It is also a credit to both the artistry of the photographer and the craftsmanship of the picture-framer neither of whom are identified. The item was purchased in Adelaide so it is highly likely the subject photographer and framer were local. unknown

[PEAKE, Archibald Henry]
'Arrival of the Hon. A.H. Peake the Premier of South Australia and Party at Manchester on 7th April 1913' a vintage photograph
Manchester: Mack & Co. Photographers 1913. Very Good. Manchester Mack & Co. Photographers 1913. A gelatin silver photograph image size 240 × 283 mm on the original mount external dimensions 375 × 455 mm; the caption is in white ink in a calligraphic hand below the image; the details of the photographic studio are printed below an embossed printed border. The mount is a little rubbed and worn at the extremities with a small sealed crack to one margin; there is minor surface damage to the mount well clear of the image and caption where an old window mat has been removed; the photograph has a few tiny surface blemishes near the bottom edge but overall in excellent condition. At the time Archibald Henry Peake 1859-1920 was the Premier of South Australia a position he held on three occasions 1909-1910 1912-1915 and 1917-1920. He died in office on 6 April 1920. In 1912 'the Liberals won an eight-seat majority . Peake again became premier treasurer and minister of education. His government concentrated on constructing rural railway lines often against expert advice. Most proved uneconomic impoverishing the railways for years. In 1912 the government created the Industrial Arbitration Court; in return for the introduction by it of a minimum wage workers lost the right to strike or to engage in any activity which might prolong a strike. Six o'clock closing of hotels was carried at a plebiscite simultaneously with the 1915 election and remained for over fifty years. Peake's government liberalized the franchise for the Legislative Council. In London in 1913 Peake had an audience with King George V and recorded his experiences in "Notes from a Diary" 1914. The ministry's major achievement was its arrangement in 1914 with the Federal New South Wales and Victorian governments for the locking of the Murray River: the River Murray Commission carried out the co-ordinating agreement' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The nature of this item and the fact that we purchased it with other photographs identified as such suggest strongly that it was originally in the possession of Peake himself. Mack & Co.

[PHOTOGRAPHY - AUSTRALIA, EGYPT & FRANCE].
Album containing photographs of Australia Egypt and France.
1895. Oblong folio 28 x 39 cm. Contemporary gold-tooled black morocco gilt edges. With 58 photograph prints ca. 21 x 25.5 to 13.5 x 20 cm. Mounted on both sides of the leaves in the album. 60 pp. The album contains 15 silver albumen photographs of Melbourne taken mainly from the series C. Rudd's new views of Melbourne 1886-1887 by Charles Rudd 1849-1901. They show Collins Street Melbourne town hall the public library Parliament House the Court of Law Government House and various other buildings and infrastructure as well as botanical gardens such as Fitzroy Gardens. The photographs of Sydney were the work of the renowned Australian photographer Henry King 1855-1923 born in England in 1855 who emigrated to Australia with his family in 1856. He worked as a photographer at J. Hubert Newman's studio in Sydney before opening his own studio in 1880. King gained recognition for his photographic studies of Australian Aboriginal people and his scenic views of Sydney. He died in 1923 leaving behind his wife son and three daughters. His glass negatives were acquired by J.R. Tyrrell after his death and are now held by the Powerhouse Museum. King is one of Australia's most significant early photographers. The album contains seventeen of Kings photographs of the harbour including Farm Cove and the Circular Quay Government House and interior and exterior photographs of the town hall King and George Street the Mutual Life Association Building the General Post Office and the Ferner Botanical Garden. Rural New South Was appears in nine photographs including images of Illawarra National Park the Hawkesbury River and a series of outdoor photographs taken along the coast at Blackwall and dated July 1895.This curious album of 58 photographs from France Egypt and most importantly Australia opens with a section with six photos from Marseille showing street views the city harbour the Avenue du Prado and the castles.The ten photographs from Egypt depict both the cultural highlights of the country such as the Pyramids the Sphinx the Citadel of Cairo and the Palace of Gizeh as well as ordinary Arabian villages and street scenes. They stemmed from the ateliers of the Abdullah brothers of Constantinople. The Abdullah Frères namely Viçen 1820-1902 Hovsep 1830-1908 and Kevork 1839-1918 Abdullahyan were three Ottoman brothers of Armenian heritage who gained international fame as photographers during the late Ottoman Empire. Some evidence suggests that he may have collaborated with the Zangaki Brothers and he may have been the official photographer for the Universal Company of the Suez Canal. Later he worked in partnership with the British-Italian photographer Antonio Beato.With an owners inscription in pencil "a appartenu Alfred Schmid" some photographs are captioned in black ink or pencil detailing the places. With a small label from the bookshop that sold the album: "Papeterie Sauwen-Jehotte" in Antwerp. The edges are somewhat bumped and some browning and foxing throughout. Otherwise in good condition. unknown

An Edwardian photograph of the staff of a butcher's shop possibly in Woodside in the Adelaide Hills
The five men four in butcher's striped aprons and one woman are standing on the unsealed road in front of the shop next to a horse-drawn delivery cart sign-written with the name 'A. Mount'. The vintage gelatin silver photograph image size 107 × 152 mm is on the original blind-stamped mount of 'McNeills 184 Rundle St Adelaide' 207 × 246 mm. Pencilled on the verso is '1907 A. Mount Woodside'; although we have been unable to verify these details most places in the Adelaide Hills in the Edwardian era probably did look like this. However what is decidedly most rare about this scene is that one of the butchers is of Indian or Afghan descent. unknown

An original photograph by Ramsay Smith of Port Vila New Hebrides inscribed and signed by him and used as a Christmas card
An original gelatin silver photograph 110 × 90 mm mounted on stiff card 220 × 170 mm inscribed in white ink on the mount beneath the photograph 'With Christmas Greetings from Dr and Mrs Ramsay Smith' stamped on the rear 'Photo. by Dr. W. Ramsay Smith' and captioned in his hand 'At Port Vila - New Hebrides'. Ramsay Smith describes 'picture-making' at Port Vila in detail in his 1924 book 'In Southern Seas' and this image contains all the elements referred to: one's wife 'for comparison and relief to the various objects in the picture' the harbour as background to the wooded heights the ship in the distance . The corners of the mount are slightly rounded and both the image and the mount are a little foxed; overall it is an attractive item with more than the usual amount of background information. <p>William Ramsay Smith 1859-1937 physician naturalist anthropologist civil servant soldier - and controversy was often never far away see the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. His entry there states that 'Believing that tribal Aborigines were dying out he recorded their folklore in "Myths and Legends of the Australian Aborigines"' London 1930. Subsequent to this being published Dr Philip Jones has also recorded in the ADB that from the early 1920s David Unaipon 1872-1967 the Aboriginal preacher author and inventor 'studied Aboriginal mythology and compiled his versions of legends . Gathered before 1930 the legends are in his surviving manuscript in the Mitchell Library: they were commissioned and published by William Ramsay Smith without acknowledgment'. unknown

[Photography]. STEPHENSON, Edward R
Essays and Miscellaneous Pieces by the late Edward R. Stephenson. With a preface by his friend C. Todd .
Adelaide: Andrews Thomas and Clark 1865. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide Andrews Thomas and Clark 1865. Octavo ii frontispiece ii title leaf vi 118 vi book review pages with 2 mounted albumen paper photographs one is a frontispiece portrait of Stephenson 87 × 57 mm; the other is of a sketch presumably by Stephenson 103 × 57 mm. The book review reprinted from the 'South Australian Register' December 28 1865 has been folded down the middle before being bound in. Full morocco now expertly rebacked all edges gilt contemporary but probably not original - we have only seen blind-stamped cloth before; corners worn front and rear covers a little scuffed; overall a very good copy. One of the earliest Australian imprints illustrated with original photographs see Holden: 'Photography in Colonial Australia' Sydney 1988 where the author is incorrectly referred to in the text and index as Stevensen. The first essay the St Peter's Collegiate School Prize Essay of 1864 is entitled 'The Difficulties of Colonization in the Northern Territory' 17 pages; another two pages are devoted to the importance of the acquisition of the Northern Territory to South Australia. Almost half the book 58 pages is given over to verse by Stephenson who died at the age of 18 in May 1865. Inscribed on an early blank in what we know to be the hand of Charles Todd to 'Mr Edwd Stirling Junr / Xmas 1865'; with the pictorial bookplate 'Gang forward' of Edward Charles Stirling. Ferguson 16245; Holden 103. We have previously sold a copy inscribed by Todd to his daughter on 4 December 1865 in which the review was loosely inserted as an eight-page pamphlet. The Christmas inscription and the inclusion of the review not published until 28 December suggest that this morocco binding came after the event. Andrews, Thomas, and Clark hardcover

[PHOTOGRAPHY - AUSTRALIA].
Sydney Harbour and Circular Quay.
Sydney 1875. Ca. 8 x 46.5 cm. Panorama photograph consisting of three albumen prints joined together with white bookcloth. A long folding panorama photograph of Sydney Harbour in the late 19th century. It prominently features the east side of Circular Quay which at the time was a commercial working wharf dominated by the wool trade. The many wool stores that were built here have since been demolished. The large wool store of Hill Clark and Co at the end of the wharf which was completed in 1883 cannot be found on the photograph which means it must have been taken in 1882 at the latest. The photograph is not signed but is reminiscent of the work of Australian photographers Charles Bayliss 1850-1897 and Francis Whitfield Robinson ca. 1819-after 1882 who made similar panorama photos of Sydney around this time.The photograph is slightly discoloured one of the bookcloth hinges is partly torn. Otherwise in good condition. hardcover
