'Bark Catalpa of New Bedford. 202 Tons Register. John T. Richardson Ships Agent John J. Breslin Chief of the Rescuing Party'. Lithograph
Boston: Forbes Lith. Mfg. Co. 1876. First edition. This scarce tinted lithograph was issued to commemorate the escape of Irish political prisoners from Fremantle W.A. on April 17th 1876. The Fenians are shown rowing towards the bark which is under full sail. The Catalpa is flying a flag with the initials "J T R" - for John T Richardson the ship's agent. A pennant with the letter C the Fenian flag and the American flag are also flying. <br /> <br /> The police boat is in hot pursuit and the British steamship "Georgette" is steaming in from a distance. Among the Fenians freed in this effort was John Boyle O'Reilly who became a leading citizen in Boston and was later to edit the 'Boston Pilot'. <br /> <br /> Captain George Anthony an American whaling captain out of New Bedford Massachusetts recruited a crew for this mission and set sail for Western Australia where two Fenian agents John Breslin and Tom Desmond had already established themselves with aliases. With several delays the day for the escape was set for the 17th of April when most of the convict garrison was distracted by watching the Perth Yacht Club regatta.<br /> <br /> Captain Anthony who refused to surrender the escaped prisoners to the British later sold his story to Zephaniah W. Pease who published the account in 'The Catalpa Expedition'. See also Laubenstein 'The Emerald Whaler'.<br /> <br /> On its arrival in New York in August of 1876 the Catalpa was met with great crowds; jubilant celebrations were held in the US and Ireland.<br /> <br /> 17 x 13" on paper 22 x 14 1/4".

Dublin: The Central Tenants' Defense Committee 1877. First printing. Hardcover. Good overall. The trial of returned convict John Sarsfield Casey an activist defender of Irish tenant farmers who earlier in his career wrote letters to Fenian newspapers as 'The Galtee Boy' which were used in his 1865 trial to support a charge of treason and a sentence of transportation to Australia. Casey was one of the 62 Fenians transported to Western Australia. He was granted a free pardon in 1869 and returned to Dublin in 1870.<br /> <br /> The 1877 trial recorded here was brought against Casey in Ireland by the agent for a wealthy land owner Nathaniel Buckley named Patten Smith Bridge. <br /> <br /> Bridge had imposed enormous rent increases on the Galtee Mountain tenant farmers; he alleged that Casey's articles to the press about the excessive rent increases had libeled him. Huge rents increases and the inability of farmers to pay resulted in whole families being thrown out of their homes; Casey knew these facts from personal experience as some of these tenants were his relatives. The trial lasted 8 days; Bridge's claim for damages against Casey was repudiated.<br /> <br /> 8vo vii 98pp. Deaccessed by the NY Association of the Bar Library with their stamp on the title page. Tan library cloth binding with leather gilt spine label and paper label. Cloth sunned at spine leather label slightly rubbed. Printed on cheap newsprint paper Title page detached chipped at edges with early paper repair on verso; Preface pages through vi chipped along gutter but holding. OCLC: 20515747.

[Western Australia] Wrenfordsley, HT; Fairbairn, Robert H T
Magisterial Duty in the Kimberley. Minute by His Excellency the Administrator
Perth: Goverment Printer 1883. Robert Fairbairn the prominent 19th century Western Australian magistrate is the appointee to whom this "Minute" is aimed. He would soon be in charge of the Kimberley district and Wrenfordsley was at the time of this writing the Acting Governor of Western Australia. Unusually this is not recorded on either Trove or the State Library of Western Australia. <br /> <br /> The "minute" advises Mr. Fairbairn on his duties which will involve ".those of the Judge the Collector of Customs and the Registrar". and he advises "the Magistrate to take his own notes of the evidence and not to trust to his clerk." It is most interesting for the directions of caution in meting out punishment to the aboriginal community. "As the dispenser of justice to an uncivilised race it is all important that he should appear to act with judicial calmness and deliberation." Settlers were to be discouraged from taking the law into their own hands. And the statues prohibiting the supply of liquor to natives were to be strictly enforced so that "in the remote and . peaceful wilds of the Kimberley country the white man's curse will long remain unknown." An early reader has commented at the top "This is good" and has also highlighted various sections of interest. <br /> <br /> At the time of this writing Wrenfordsley was Acting Governor of Western Australia however he had a long career in law as solicitor Attorney General of Jamaica Chief Justice of Western Australia and Chief Justice of Fiji. <br /> <br /> Foolscap folio 3pp black text on cream paper. At the end of page printed H.T. Wrenfordsley Administrator. 13-3-83." A notation on verso in ink "Notes of Wrenfordsley on Justice duties." Top edge ruffled small puncture top right pin mark two period folds overall very good. Goverment Printer unknown

London: 'Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed' 1838. Very Good. London 'Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed' 1838. Foolscap folio 21 1 docket pages with numerous tables. Uncut and sewn as issued; outer pages slightly dusty; light foxing throughout; an excellent copy. Great Britain and Ireland Parliamentary Paper Number 685 of 1838. The bulk of this important paper pages 4-19 is given over to 'Nos. 5 6 7. Copy of a Despatch from Governor Sir James Stirling bearing Date 15 October 1835 forwarding a Memorial from the Inhabitants of Western Australia; together with a Copy of the Answer which has been returned thereto'. It is somewhat more than that. Stirling's covering letter explains that 'The signatures attached to this memorial . belong to about one-third of the adult male population of the settlement and represent also about one third of its property in land and capital. The grievances under which the memorialists consider themselves and their fellow colonists to labour are five in number'. The five grievances are well-aired; all signatories are identified; there are five pages of lists of lands reserved for public purposes individuals or 'Assigned to or Reserved for Civil Naval and Military Officers from commencement of the Colony in June 1829 to 6 October 1835'. The second and third lists provide name rank or situation where applicable number of acres district assigned or reserved - and when and remarks. A sample record for an individual is that pertaining to Robert Ramsay for whom an 'uncertain' number of acres was reserved at Plantagenet on 12 April 1831: 'Master of brig "Britannia". On south shore of Princes Royal Harbour reserved 18 months to form a whaling establishment and then resumed on failure of conditions'. The last four pages in this section contain Lord Glenelg's thoughts on the matter as of 7 March 1837. The limited information relating to the fledgling colony of South Australia occupies only pages 20 and 21. Ferguson 2511. <p>Provenance: the signature 'C.A.S. Hawker' is written in pencil at the head of the first page. Charles Allan Seymour Hawker 1894-1938 politician and pastoralist: his grandfather George Charles Hawker arrived in Adelaide with his brother Charles in September 1840. They settled on land at Bungaree near Clare in December 1841; C.A.S. Hawker he was born there. He was seriously wounded on several occasions at the Western Front losing one eye and 'his legs were in surgical irons to the end of his life'. He was a minister in the Lyons Government from 1932 until he 'was killed on 25 October 1938 when the aircraft "Kyeema" crashed into Mount Dandenong in Victoria. His untimely death was sharply felt. He had been an outstanding and respected figure in the Federal parliament whom some of his own party would have supported as prime minister. John Curtin the Opposition leader believed he had been on the threshold of great achievements' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. 'Ordered, by the House of Commons, to be Printed' unknown

[WHITE, Captain Samuel Albert] TATE, Ralph
A Handbook of the Flora of Extratropical South Australia containing the Flowering Plants and Ferns heavily annotated by Captain S.A. White
Adelaide: Education Department 1890. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide Education Department 1890. Octavo originally viii 303 pages plus a map: this copy lacks the map the title leaf and its conjugate pages i-ii and vii-viii and the last leaf 303-4 last page blank. Original full black roan lettered in gilt on the front cover; leather slightly rubbed and bumped; last leaf a little torn; signs of age and use; overall a very good copy. We presume this is a publisher's deluxe or presentation binding; the standard binding is grey cloth with a paper title-label on the front cover. Samuel Albert White 1870-1954 ornithologist and conservationist: 'His most arduous and important work as a naturalist occurred when he collaborated with Gregory Mathews on "The Birds of Australia" London 1910-27. To this end White mounted major collecting expeditions often accompanied by his wife. He travelled with camels to Alice Springs and beyond 1913 with a government team to the Musgrave and Everard ranges 1914 and with the South Australian Museum expedition to Cooper Creek 1916; he also went to the Nullarbor Plains 1917-18 with Sir Edgeworth David and Professor Walter Howchin to the Finke River 1921 and in 1922 led the great adventure from Adelaide to Darwin and back using three Dort motor cars supplied and serviced by Adelaide mechanics Cyril and Murray Aunger. <p>White's outstanding achievement lay in completing an ornithological survey of the whole of South Australia and much of the Northern Territory. He was the first European to see several species and regarded the Princess Alexandra parrot as the world's most beautiful bird. A keen conservationist he was a central figure in the declaration of national parks in the State and was a noted spokesman on insects birds and botany' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. <p>In this copy of the book 'A Classified List of the Native Species' pages 204-272 is extensively annotated in ink in what we know to be the hand of Captain S.A. White; there are slight annotations or emphases on numerous other pages. Although his name does not appear anywhere in the volume we purchased this item among many others direct from the White family home 'Weetunga' at Fulham a couple of decades ago. Loosely inserted is a ticket to an 'Exhibition of Wild Flowers' by the Field Naturalists' Section of the Royal Society of SA annotated on the verso by White; undated but 1920s.

The areas of Gawler Kapunda Kooringa Hill River Estate Clare and surroundings were visited during October and the return journey between Adelaide and Mount Gambier including Strathalbyn Willunga Goolwa Hindmarsh Island Narracoorte and the Drainage Country took place during November' preface. The critical comments on contemporary vine cultivation and wine production make interesting reading. Visits were made to properties and individuals well-known to this day: Davenport Boothby Crompton Auld Mrs Penfold Thomas Elder and Birksgate Thomas Hardie sic and Bankside and 'Clare - Seven Hills and St. Aloysius' College' with numerous 'Notable Wine Growers' in the region mentioned. Many areas significant in the modern vine and wine industry are conspicuously absent in this survey at least in this regard. This item is rare in our experience. Ferguson 9210. E. & D.

[Women's Hockey]
A vintage group portrait photograph of a 1920s South Australian women's hockey team
Gawler: Marchant's Studio 1924. Fine. Gawler Marchant's Studio circa 1924. An original gelatin silver photograph behind glass in the original blackwood frame with gilt fillet and wood-veneer mat visible image size approximately 238 × 288 mm external dimensions approximately 480 × 580 mm. The photograph is in fine condition; the frame is in excellent condition albeit slightly scuffed and marked. A small Marchant's Studio paper label is mounted on the mat; a considerably larger label mounted on the verso states it has been 'Established Sixty Years'. Davis and Stanbury 'The Mechanical Eye in Australia' suggest this occurred in 1864. 'The game of hockey was brought to Australia by British Naval officers stationed around the country in the late 1800s. By 1900 according to Hockey Australia the game was being played in private girls' schools. Being a non-contact team sport it was considered ideal for women. The first women's hockey association was formed in New South Wales in 1908. Two years later women's clubs from Tasmania Victoria and South Australia were competing alongside clubs from New South Wales at an interstate tournament at Rushcutter's Bay and from this tournament came the establishment of the Australian Women's Hockey Association in July 1910 - fifteen years before the Australian Hockey Association AHA was formed in 1925. State hockey associations for men had been formed in South Australia 1903; Victoria and New South Wales 1906; Western Australia 1908; and Queensland 1920s. This division in the administration of men's and women's hockey continued in subsequent years. The Australian Women's Hockey Association affiliated with the All England Women's Hockey Association and joined the International Federation of Women's Hockey IFWH in 1927' Australian Women's Archives Project online. Accordingly this item is tolerably early as well as being a fine piece of portraiture. Marchant's Studio unknown

[Yardea Station]. [EVANS, WR] W R
A collection of 23 vintage photographs of Yardea Station and environs in the Gawler Ranges South Australia circa 1905
Original gelatin silver prints uniformly 122 × 165 mm but three have been trimmed a little all captioned in ink on the verso four are dated 1905. All prints are unmounted as produced; two have a short tear to one edge one of these and one other have a small piece missing from one or two corners; one is a little creased; two are a little marked; overall the condition is excellent. Yardea Station is a pastoral lease approximately 400 kilometres north-west of Adelaide; it was the first property taken up in the Gawler Ranges in the late 1850s. 'Lying on one of the main east-west corridors through the Ranges Yardea became the main postal depot during the late 1860s. A stone police station was erected in 1873 staffed by two police troopers who had been placed there a year earlier to keep order and to distribute rations to Aboriginal people who were increasingly attracted to Yardea. After the Yardea police were withdrawn in 1885 the building served as a post-office and telegraph station and then as a repeater station when a direct telegraph link to Western Australia was established in 1903. During the 1890s when most of the Gawler Ranges station leases including Yardea were abandoned due to a combination of high government charges drought and uncontrolled dingo numbers the building was still staffed by three telegraph station employees' Philip Jones in 'Naturally Disturbed' 2010 'an interdisciplinary collaboration between Sue Kneebone and Philip Jones. The exhibition engages with the complex history intersecting narratives and unexplained absences that relate to Yardea a pastoral property in the Gawler Ranges in South Australia once managed by Sue Kneebone's great-grandfather'. Elsewhere in her PhD thesis of the same name Sue Kneebone writes: 'In late 1903 at a time of high demand and high prices for sheep Yardea was taken up by James Grey Moseley with his station manager my great-grandfather Arthur Bailey . The Yardea lease . by then included Paney Yartoo and the old Pondana and Cacuppa stations'. A small number of these images have been located in the collection of the State Library of South Australia with some attributed to W.R. Evans who appears to have been on the staff of the Eucla Telegraph Station around this time. One of the present photographs is captioned 'A. Cole Post Master A. Bailey Manager Yardea'. Nearly all of the captions mention Yardea; Pondona Pondana and Paynea Paney are also noted. Pastoral pursuits are well-recorded: these include 'Mowing Crop' 'Hay-Stack' 'Stooking Hay' 'Hay Carting' all dated 1905 'Mustering Cattle' 'Bullock Team' 'Shearing' 'Wool Team' 'Woolly Sheep' and 'Horses'. There is also a fine image of a 'Camel Team en route for W.A. passing through Yardea'. Other scenes are 'Rock Hole Yardea' from above and below 'Dam Yardea Station' 'Stone Dam Paynea sic' and views of the Yardea Gorge Pondona Hills two views both with sheep 'Hills Gawler Ranges' and 'Deep Well Yardea' featuring a horseman and a stone hut. People are visible in seventeen of the photographs and in at least seven instances they are Indigenous men. Offered with a cabinet card photograph 145 × 105 mm mounted on plain card of the fresh grave site at Yardea of Sarah Cole wife of Alfred Cole. A notice of her death appeared in the Adelaide 'Chronicle' on Saturday 26 June 1897: 'COLE. On the 20th June at Yardea telegraph station Sarah Elizabeth Broughton née Garrett the dearly beloved wife of Alfred Cole and second daughter of C.J. and the late William Garrett late of Port Lincoln aged 33 years and 9 months'. She was the mother of six children. The presence of this poignant photograph in the collection suggests to us a Cole family provenance. 24 items. unknown
