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"'. Goodfellow & Hele [almost certainly the Author - James Dally was convinced] hardcover

MINCHIN Richard Ernest
Arrival of the English Mail at Glenelg
An unsigned two-colour watercolour on paper with the ink caption mounted below the image image size 75 � 140 mm visible paper size 105 � 160 mm. Mounted behind a double window mat framed and glazed; in fine condition. Irish-born Richard Ernest Minchin 1831-1893 'painter lithographer draughtsman and zoo director' emigrated originally to South Australia in 1851. He was employed with the Land Titles Registration Department for some 25 years from 1859 essentially as a draughtsman at increasing levels of seniority. In 1882 he 'was appointed director of the new Adelaide Zoological Gardens having for many years been honorary secretary of the local Acclimatization Society which founded it' and Minchin himself had been a prime mover in establishing the Society in July 1878. This information comes from 'The Dictionary of Australian Artists . to 1870' which devotes an entire page to Minchin. By all accounts he was active even prolific over many years but his work is rarely offered for sale. The invaluable online resource the Australian Art Sales Digest has no record of him. The website of the Art Gallery of South Australia contains illustrations of ten watercolours by Minchin. None are dated more accurately than the mid-1850s to 1890 but we believe there is a strong case to be made that pressure of his zoological management work makes pre-1880 a much more likely upper limit. None of them is signed; most of them are captioned; the handwriting is identical to the caption on this painting. unknown

Equal Opportunity
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 photograph gelatin silver image size 107 x 152 mm is on the original blind-stamped mount of 'McNeills 184 Rundle St Adelaide' 207 x 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

FLINDERS MATTHEW. THE NAMING OF AUSTRALIA.
Observations upon the Marine Barometer made during the Examination of the Coasts of New Holland and New South Wales in the years 1801 1802 and 1803. Read March 27 1806.
London W. Bulmer and Co. 1806. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1806 - Part II. Pp. 239-268. Having also the titlepage to the volume Part II 1806. A faint bit of soiling to outer right margin of the first 2 leaves otherwise clean and wide-margined. � First printing of this important paper relating Flinder's observations on the ship "Investigator" when exploring the coast of Australia. IN THE PAPER THE NAME "AUSTRALIA" APPEARS PROBABLY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A SCIENTIFIC MEMOIR p. 247.<br><br>The name Australia was popularised by Matthew Flinders who pushed for the name to be formally adopted as early as 1804. When preparing his manuscript and charts for his 1814 A Voyage to Terra Australis he was persuaded by his patron Sir Joseph Banks to use the term Terra Australis as this was the name most familiar to the public. Flinders did so but allowed himself the footnote:<br>"Had I permitted myself any innovation on the original term it would have been to convert it to Australia; as being more agreeable to the ear and an assimilation to the names of the other great portions of the earth." In the paper offered he used the name "Australia" as early as 1806.<br><br>"Captain Matthew Flinders RN 16 March 1774 - 19 July 1814 was one of the most successful navigators and cartographers of his age. In a career that spanned just over twenty years he sailed with Captain William Bligh circumnavigated Australia and encouraged the use of that name for the continent which had previously been known as New Holland. He survived shipwreck and disaster only to be imprisoned for violating the terms of his scientific passport by changing ships and carrying prohibited papers. He identified and corrected the effect upon compass readings of iron components and equipment on board wooden ships and he wrote what may be the first work on early Australian exploration A Voyage to Terra Australis."Wikepedia unknown

They believed that the raw geological material was the dominant factor in determining the forms of stone implements and that these forms had not changed from earliest times to the period of European contact' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. One correction in ink 'lava' for 'land' near the end of the first paragraph on page 14 and some light marginal emphases in pencil are presumably by Mitchell.

Testimonial
A decorative testimonial printed in purple ink on cream silk external dimensions 480 x 325 mm presented 'To William Markham Esq. M.D. Port Augusta S.A. January 31 1887'
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

FISHER Sir James Hurtle
An almost-lifesize vintage portrait photograph of Sir James Hurtle Fisher 1790-1875 'one of the most important pioneers of South Australia' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'
The very fine portrait visible image size 545 � 395 mm in its original ornate gilt frame external dimensions 740 � 595 mm is exquisitely hand-painted and signed by the famous colonial photographer Townsend Duryea 1823-1888. His original label is affixed to the paper backing on the verso of the frame 'T. Duryea Artist Photographer 66 and 68 King William Street Adelaide' and in our opinion he has created a masterpiece as both artist and photographer with this work. James Hurtle Fisher commenced practice as a solicitor in London in 1816 and 'was drawn into the colonizing movement in 1835. He was selected as resident commissioner one of the most important offices under the South Australian Act . second only to the governor'. Fisher 'left England in July 1836 with the governor's party in the "Buffalo" arriving on 28 December 1836 at Holdfast Bay where the official oaths were administered a proclamation was read and a ceremony marked the beginning of settlement. In January 1837 Fisher erected his reed hut and Land Office near the survey camp of Colonel William Light at the north-western corner of the new capital site; the destruction of these temporary buildings by fire on 23 January 1839 caused both men serious loss. Fisher had been allowed to draft his own instructions which were not shown to Governor Sir John Hindmarsh. Disputes between the two men over their respective powers had begun on the voyage and were soon revived in the new Council of Government and more violently outside and led in February 1837 to the Resident Magistrate's Court binding the participants over to keep the peace towards each other. The new governor George Gawler was appointed both governor and resident commissioner a radical departure from the principles on which the colony had been founded' ADB. Fisher returned to his profession and became a leader of the South Australian Bar. In October 1840 he was elected first mayor of Adelaide; in 1860 he became the first resident South Australian to be knighted. Townsend Duryea was at the King William Street address from 1858 until his illustrious career as a photographer 'was cut short when his studio and entire collection of 50000 negatives were destroyed by fire on 18 April 1875' ADB. We suggest as a date for this magnificent portrait 'circa 1870'. unknown

LIGHT Colonel William
A View of the Country and the Temporary Erections near the Site for the Proposed Town of Adelaide in South Australia
An original hand-coloured aquatint image size 365 � 545 mm sheet size 523 � 685 mm after a painting by William Light; discoloured tape stains near the edge of the top and side margins well away from the printed surface a legacy of having been framed at one stage; in excellent condition. The original plate was engraved by Robert Havell and published in London by Smith Elder and Co. in 1838. The subtitle states that it is 'Forming the First of a Series of Views of that Colony now preparing for Publication'. This is certainly the best-known of them. The 1928 Francis Edwards catalogue 'Australasia Old and New' states in item 6 that the original plate for this view had recently been found and that prints have been produced from it. There is little doubt that this is one of these 1920s restrikes from the original plate with later colouring. Carroll 7. unknown
