Photographic Illuminated Address
A very large albumen paper photograph reproducing an illuminated address presented to John Dunn Esq. J.P. of Mount Barker 1802-1904 member of Parliament and prominent wheat merchant and miller in early colonial South Australia by the workers of J. Dunn & Co. on the occasion of his retirement in May 1889. The address the original of which was illustrated and illuminated by W.G.P. Joyner gives an indication of the scale and importance of Dunn's enterprises: '. by your perseverance energy and strict integrity you have overcome all obstacles and today you have the satisfaction of leaving to your successors the largest milling and wheat business in the Southern Hemisphere'
Image size approximately 325 x 263 mm on the original ruled mount visible surface 430 x 365 mm framed and glazed. The photograph is beginning to lift slightly at two corners; mount slightly soiled at one corner; frame a little scuffed and marked; overall in excellent condition. On the reverse is the paper label of 'S. Solomon Photographer 51 Rundle Street Adelaide'. An article in the 'South Australian Chronicle' for 8 June 1889 describes the circumstances of the presentation of the address and describe the original in detail. 'The address is the work of Mr. Joyner and is one of his most artistic productions . The words and the signatures which number 105 being those of most of the leading employ�s are situated in the centre while all around are well executed paintings of a number of the mills belonging to the firm taken from photographs. In the left-hand corner there is a painting of the site of the original mill at Hay Valley . On the top are Mr. Dunn's residence at Mount Barker 'The Laurels' and the Dunn Memorial Church which that gentleman presented to the residents of Mount Barker while the right hand corner is occupied by a view of the firm's stores and offices in Freeman-street Adelaide now Gawler Place. On the left side of the address there are views of the mills at Wilmington the old mill at Port Adelaide and at Mount Barker and two representations of the new Roller Eclipse mill at Port Adelaide. On the other side the Nairne mill takes precedence while underneath it is the gem of the collection the works at Port Pirie including some of the shipping of the port with the railway in front. The Port Augusta and Bridgewater mills are represented and an excellent portrait of Mr. Dunn is also included in the set.' A number of the source photographs are to be found in a Dunn family photograph album now held by the State Library of South Australia PRG 1485/3. Dunn's entry in the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' records that 'he retired in 1889 and died at Mount Barker on 13 October 1894. The firm's eleven mills five with the most modern machinery then represented an investment of �150000. They annually had an export trade of some 20000 tons of flour to Britain Western Australia New South Wales and South Africa some 400 employees and a payment to farmers of �500000'. unknown

HIGGINS Thomas Walker
A group of four nineteenth-century photographs featuring Thomas Walker Higgins a pioneer of Currency Creek and Middleton about 80 kilometres south of Adelaide
Two of the photographs are approximately 100 � 150 mm the other two are approximately 70 � 75 mm. All four have been removed from an old album leaf and remounted on acid-free card; each one has a small number pencilled unobtrusively in the sky in the top right-hand corner. One image in each size depicts Higgins at his pastoral property at Currency Creek with the homestead 'Higginsbrook' figuring prominently in the smaller one. In the other two images Higgins is shown standing on rocks at the coast at Middleton the site was identified on the verso in pencil. The photographer is unidentified; the images are undated but we suggest the 1860s. Irish-born Thomas Walker Higgins 1810-1899 emigrated to South Australia in September 1839. The following year he and his wife and their only child 'journeyed to the South Coast where good land was plenty. They took up a run near Currency Creek and on Section 2147 in the hundred of Goolwa they built their home naming it "Higginsbrook" after his family's ancestral home back in Ireland. It was built on a side of a hill giving a scenic view over the valley towards the sea. In 1849 Thomas Higgins purchased what is now known as Middleton. In 1854 he had the land surveyed and made plans for the township of Middleton naming after his connection with Ireland' genealogical information sourced with many thanks from the Higgins family genealogy page on RootsWeb. 4 items. unknown

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 maroon cloth lettered in gilt on the front cover with a later gilt-lettered cloth title-label along the spine originally untitled; cloth a little flecked slightly sunned on the spine and a little rubbed and bumped at the extremities; some mounts lightly cockled as ever a production flaw; a few trifling signs of use; basically an excellent good copy internally fine with the photographs in superb condition. A rare and desirable item attested to by the provenance of this copy: it has the armorial bookplate of Charles Glover on the pastedown and the blind-stamp of Sir Thomas Ramsay on the flyleaf 'T.M.R. / Library of / T.M. Ramsay'. Ferguson 11744; Holden 70. Holden's entry is more accurate and informative although the photographs may vary slightly between copies. The photograph facing page 16 in this copy is a portrait of Dr Nott rather than 'Frankel's Hotel' as called for in Holden facing page 17. Two other photographs are less-common variant images of the same subject: these are 'Fotheringham's Cordial Factory' facing page 57 and 'Stewart's Music Emporium' facing page 96. 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
