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. 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

MEYER HEA. H. E.
Manners and Customs of the Aborigines of the Encounter Bay Tribe South Australia
Adelaide: 'printed and published for Government by George Dehane' 1846. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide 'printed and published for Government by George Dehane' 1846. Octavo ii 15 pages. Original stiffened blue wrappers with the title page details repeated on the front cover; trifling surface blemish to the front cover; an excellent copy. Heinrich Edward August Meyer was a Lutheran missionary who arrived in Australia in 1840 and spent just over two years living with the Raminyeri tribe of the Encounter Bay area before publishing in 1843 'the first grammar and vocabulary on Ngarrindjeri "Vocabulary of the Language spoken by the Aborigines of the Encounter Bay Tribe South Australia". He lived at Encounter Bay until 1848 . Meyer was part of an Adelaide-based community of missionaries from the Dresden Missionary School which placed great emphasis on learning the language because it believed in the importance of communicating with the Aboriginal people in their own language . He also had continuing contact with other missionaries who were also involved in writing grammars such as Clamor Schurmann who had published a grammar of Kaurna the language to the North of Ngarrindjeri just before Meyer's arrival. This background as well as the assertion in his introduction to the 1843 grammar that the whole publication had been twice reviewed with different natives so that the meaning assigned to the words may be relied upon as correct . has resulted in a text that is considered to be a reliable reflection of the language at the time and a good grammar for its time' Corinne Bannister: 'A Longitudinal Study of Ngarrindjeri' online. In this short but closely printed pamphlet Meyer in 'giving an account of these people . endeavours to trace the life of one from his birth upwards'. His extended period of living with the Encounter Bay people in these early years of white settlement adds authenticity to his detailed account of subjects such as hunting sorcery and burial customs. Ferguson 4348; see also Ferguson 13095 WOODS J.D. editor: The Native Tribes of South Australia Adelaide Wigg 1879 which reprints this item; Greenway 6696.

JOYNER Frederick Allen

The mat shows some acid discolouration and is a little foxed; the photograph is in excellent condition behind glass and in the original simple timber frame. Frederick Allen Joyner 1863-1945 was 'President of the South Australian Photographic Society at the height of its influence as a leading group in the fledgling nation and as an individual he had his own work shown and reproduced around the world. Later in the 1920s he was one of the first modern photographers to see and interpret the light and nuances of the Flinders Ranges' from the catalogue of the 1981 AGSA exhibition of F.A.

Berri. KRANTZ Harry
'Berri 1921'. A vintage sepia-toned panorama 100 x 460 mm comprising three original gelatin silver photographs of approximately equal size
The title and photographer's credit are written in a neat calligraphic hand in white ink on the original mount. The left- and right-hand photographs are a little unevenly tanned otherwise it is a fine panorama attractively presented behind glass in its original polished timber frame external dimensions 190 x 595 mm. Berri on the River Murray about 240 kilometres north-east of Adelaide was proclaimed a town in 1911 just a decade before these photographs were taken. Irrigation subsequently led to the establishment of the vineyards and fruit orchards that are synonymous with the region. However the 'first impetus for settlement came when paddle steamers came down the River Murray and a refuelling stop was developed' at this 'wide bend in the river' Wikipedia and it is this aspect of Berri's history that is captured in this panorama. The fledgling township comes a distant second to the river the paddle-steamers and the vast woodheap that takes up half the width of the scene. unknown
