‎DAWSON Peter‎

‎A signed portrait photograph of Peter Dawson by Tornquist Wellington New Zealand‎

‎A vintage sepia-toned gelatin silver photograph visible image size 237 � 185 mm behind glass in a contemporary slight wooden frame; the dark ink inscription has turned a lighter colour in parts and is now a little diffuse; overall in excellent condition. The inscription in the top left-hand corner is 'Vera & Harold Gard with all good wishes Peter Dawson 28/10/31'. Vera Thrush and her husband Harold Gard were Adelaide singers active in the local opera scene at the time. They travelled to England and Italy in 1924-25 to study grand opera. Adelaide-born Peter Dawson 1882-1961 was initially apprenticed to his father an ironworker and plumber. His parents also encouraged his appreciation of music and he went on to became an internationally-acclaimed baritone. He was one of the first artists to have faith in the gramophone and his fifty-year recording career with His Master's Voice made him a household name in many countries with sales of more than 13 million records of 3500 titles. He also composed many songs 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The National Library of Australia and the National Portrait Gallery in London have a different Tornquist portrait of Dawson in their collections; an image search online failed to locate another copy of this particular one. unknown‎

‎P., Hachette et Cie, 1861, in-12, 300 pp, reliure demi-percaline verte, dos lisse avec titres dorés et filets à froid (rel. de l'époque), bon état. Rare‎

‎Charles Hubert de Castella (1825-1907) est arrivé à Port Phillip de Suisse en 1854 pour rejoindre son frère Paul, propriétaire foncier, éleveur et vigneron à Yering Station, à l'est de Melbourne. Il achète la propriété voisine, Dalry, et élève du bétail en partenariat avec Guillaume de Pury, un autre riche immigrant suisse. Hubert est retourné en Suisse en 1856, et ce mémoire de son premier séjour en Australie évoque les champs aurifères victoriens, la vie à Dalry et à Yering (avec des discussions sur la viticulture, les aborigènes et les domestiques chinois) et un voyage à travers l'ouest de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, le long des rivières Namoi, Lachlan et Darling. Le récit est positif, plein d'enthousiasme pour ses habitants de la colonie et ses perspectives. L'année où ce livre a été publié à Paris, Castella est retourné à Melbourne, ayant pris la décision de se spécialiser dans la viticulture : au cours des décennies suivantes, le vin qu'il produisit au vignoble de St Hubert (à l'origine partie de Yering) devait lui faire l'un des vignerons les plus respectés et les plus prospères de l'Australie.‎
