‎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. 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

Octavo xii 368 pages plus a folding colour map 435 � 190 mm.

Her chatty account based on her personal experiences concludes then at page 208; the rest of the book is written 'by means of researches in newspapers official reports and other documents'.

‎ELLIS Mrs F.‎

‎A Scratch from an Adelaide Cat. In Vindication of Adelaide and its People in Reply to 'Arcadian Adelaide'‎

‎Adelaide: G. Hassell & Son Printers for the Author 1905. First Edition. Paperback. Fair. Adelaide G. Hassell & Son Printers for the Author 1905. Octavo 16 pages with a vignette illustration on the title page a cat in attack mode plus a frontispiece portrait of the author 'Specimen of an Adelaide "Cat"' and a portrait of a top-hatted Mr Ellis at the rear 'One of Adelaide's Celluloid-Collared Narrow-Toe-Booted Shallow-Brained Fools'. Pictorial wrappers repeating the full title page details including the cat on the front cover the rear cover - apparently blank - is missing; front cover a little marked but expertly conserved and reattached; minor signs of use and age; a decent copy. Thistle Anderson's 'Arcadian Adelaide' 1905 provoked a spate of scathing reviews and apologiae for the city yet proved extremely popular. Anderson claimed there were ten editions and another four of its sequel 'The Arcadians'. The original publication was 'a venomous invective against the self-satisfaction and dullness of Edwardian Adelaide'. These cheaply produced booklets clearly struck a chord and untold quantities must have been sold. However despite or more likely because of their popularity copies are rarely seen on the open market. This rebuttal by Ellis is possibly even rarer; this is the first copy we have handled. Trove records a second edition in the same year but having read it we are not surprised it then died a natural death. It doesn't lay a glove on the opposition; venomous invective beats earnest pleading hands down. Mrs Ellis comes out punching left and right: 'As everyone well knows there are two sides to every question and feeling that possibly by reading Thistle Anderson's book "Arcadian Adelaide" our sisters and brothers in the other States may take her side of the question for granted and well knowing that most of the contents of her book are - to say the least of it - exaggerated clap-trap and oh! so horribly overdrawn I am in defence mainly of my sex - woman penning these lines in refutation of what she says about us and our beautiful clean and wholesome little city'. Enough already . Provenance: Alexander John Morison Town Clerk of Adelaide 1937-46 with his ownership signature in ink on the front cover. G. Hassell & Son, Printers [for the Author?] paperback‎

‎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

‎LOYAU George Ettienne‎

‎The Gawler Handbook. A Record of the Rise and Progress of that important Town; to which are added Memoirs of McKinlay the Explorer and Dr Nott‎

‎Adelaide: Goodfellow & Hele almost certainly the Author - James Dally was convinced 1880. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide Goodfellow & Hele almost certainly the Author - James Dally was convinced 1880. Octavo 182 30 advertisements pages plus 6 lithographed plates of farm machinery by James Martin & Co. and 17 albumen paper carte de visite photographs individually mounted on tipped-in captioned leaves. Blind-decorated blue cloth lettered in gilt on the front cover; cloth slightly rubbed and bumped at the extremities a little marked and bubbled and lightly sunned on the spine; some mounts lightly creased a production flaw; a few trifling signs of use; a very good copy but internally fine with the photographs in superb condition. With the pictorial bookplate of J. Cluny Harkness Federal President of the Chamber of Manufactures in the 1950s according to Trove. Ferguson 11744; Holden 70. Holden's entry is more accurate and informative although the photographs may vary slightly between copies. The photograph facing page 17 in this copy is of the 'Gawler Institute' showing the Institute building and Town Hall rather than 'Frankel's Hotel' as called for in Holden. These variations notwithstanding two separate editions were produced: one in wrappers with advertisements on the verso of the front cover and on both sides of the rear cover without photographs but with the lithographs not noted by Ferguson; the other in gilt-lettered cloth without the cover advertisements containing 17 mounted photographs plus the lithographs. Both contain 30 pages of advertisements at the rear. Rare in any state and in our view the version on offer is one of the more important and interesting photographically illustrated books produced in Australia. 'The handbook is illustrated with a number of views by Mr J. Taylor the local photographic artist representing the most important edifices and establishments in town' Holden quoting a contemporary review. The frontispiece is a portrait of John McKinlay 1819-1872; there are 14 pages devoted to him he married a Gawler woman in the early 1850s and was based in the town until his death. Justice is not done to the other photographs in describing them prosaically as 'the most important edifices and establishments in town'. Without exception signs of life and day-to-day activities flesh out the images and most of the businesses - butcher shop photographic studio cordial factory furnishing warehouse music emporium - feature well-stocked windows or yards and numerous staff members or customers. Holden reproduces two interesting ones including perhaps the best the butcher shop captioned merely 'Hodgson & Clements' but there are wonderful vignettes in many others. Not least of these are the horse-drawn tram in front of the 'Commercial Bank' and the ornate hearse outside 'F. Fowler's Furnishing Warehouse'. While we are on the subject of death one chapter stands out. Among those to be expected say on 'Horticultural and Agricultural Progress. Gardens around Gawler' or 'The Humbug Society. Flam! Bam! Sham!' or 'The Streets - Number of Businesses - Description of Hotels' there is Chapter XI: 'The Neville and Adamson Tragedy'. Its thirteen pages describe in great detail the events surrounding the double suicide 'and its romantic accomplishment' of Neville and his partner Adamson. 'It is universally believed that Neville was the leading spirit in the suicide and so strong was Adamson's affection love friendship or whatever it may be termed for his companion that he consented to take that final leap in the dark in the wine cellar with him to visit that "bourne whence none return"'.

‎The first hospital in Port Augusta 'was built in 1873 with Dr William Markham as the first Medical Superintendent; he served the community until 1897' Port Augusta City Council website. This testimonial was presented to Dr Markham prior to his departure on 'a well-earned holiday trip to the Old World . Apart from professional services and considerations we feel that you have earned our gratitude by your constant and untiring efforts for the moral and intellectual advancement as well as the physical well-being of the people of Port Augusta. But while taking a marked interest in religious affairs your zeal has never been that of a sectarian while your charity of judgment and breadth of view have secured for you the respect and esteem of all the religious organizations of the Town'. The printed signatories include members of the Town Council Hospital Board and Institute Committee. Apart from a few light and inoffensive stains and slight marginal loss near the top left-hand corner well clear of the printed area this unique and quintessentially ephemeral item is in very good condition. unknown‎
