London: Claude Stacey Limited 1926. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London Claude Stacey Limited 1926. Large quarto xii ii 175 pages with many hundreds of portrait illustrations from photographs. Dark green cloth top edge gilt; covers lightly marked and rubbed at the extremities with minimal wear to one corner; front flyleaf and half-title a little cockled by items mounted on them details below; minor signs of handling it looks as if one leaf pages 67/8 has been neatly excised and reinserted at some stage; two newspaper clippings mounted on the rear flyleaf; overall a very good copy. Provenance: the front flyleaf is inscribed 'To M. Fisher from Sidney Wilcox. 5 Sept 1928'. Mounted below this is a short autograph note signed by M.S. Fisher: 'Left for perusal by Mr Justice Mayo Dr John Mayo Dr Helen Mayo and for permanent retention if they would care to have it. 3.iii.52'. Mounted on the half-title is a newspaper clipping depicting Irene Mayo 'who speaks four languages. However instead of an academic career she prefers modelling jewellery on TV'. Wilcox Fisher and Mayo are all significant local South Australian family names. Sidney Wilcox bequeathed his substantial Brougham Place residence for the creation of a residential college for women St Ann's College; the Mayo dynasty needs no introduction; M.S. Fisher worked for 'The Advertiser' and he and his family regularly featured in the society news. We are uncertain how the two other cuttings portraits of young women and the loosely inserted colour snapshot of an elderly gentleman dated 1972 are connected; perhaps the latter is Mr Fisher.

In colonial times it succeeded in becoming the granary of the Australian continent though limited resources often handicapped it. Adelaide the colony's capital exercised an influence over the colony unmatched by the capitals in other Australian colonies.

Drop-title; small holes in the inner margins where stab-sewn when bound now disbound with secondary page numbers 1091-1096 stamped in the top corners; a fine copy. The despatches from the Duke of Newcastle the incumbent Secretary of State for the Colonies concern whether 'the northern part of Australia should be formed into a new Colony or that a portion of the territory in question should be annexed to Queensland'. Newcastle's recommendation was 'to annex to South Australia so much of this territory as lies south of the tropic and to attach the rest of it provisionally to Queensland'. As it turned out the Northern Territory of South Australia came into being in 1863 annexing all the relevant land both north and south of the Tropic of Capricorn. This annexed land was eventually surrendered to the Commonwealth in 1911. New South Wales Parliamentary Paper 708-A of 1862. Government Printer unknown

STEPHEN George Milner
The Case of the Honorable George Milner Stephen
Adelaide: with the colophon 'Robert Thomas & Co. Printers Hindley Street' 1840. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide with the colophon 'Robert Thomas & Co. Printers Hindley Street' circa 1840. Octavo 140 pages. Later half calf; mild signs of use; a very good copy. The first leaf is signed 'B'; the intended preliminaries including the title page are not present and were most likely never printed. The subject of the book is the 1839 libel action counter-action for wilful and corrupt perjury and the counter-counter-action for libel involving George Milner Stephen South Australian Attorney-General and Crown Solicitor. The actions stemmed from Stephen's speculative land dealings in early 1839 and this lengthy account is drawn from the Supreme Court records the Government Gazette and newspapers of the day from May-September that year. Robert Thomas Government Printer and newspaper proprietor was the successful defendant in the second libel case. This fascinating expos� was almost certainly printed in at most a mere handful of copies and never released for general distribution. It appears to be unrecorded. with the colophon 'Robert Thomas & Co., Printers, Hindley Street' hardcover

Railways
A collection of ten vintage gelatin silver photographs each approximately 110 x 160 mm featuring the derailment of a South Australian 500 Class Mountain-type locomotive Number 506
The versos of all photographs are stamped 'The Advertiser . Adelaide . Krischock Photos copyright'. 506 'Sir George Murray' entered service in October 1926; it was withdrawn in June 1959 and scrapped three years later. We have been able to trace a couple of relatively minor derailments involving this locomotive but not this particular incident. The terrain and surrounding vegetation suggest to us the mallee country between Tailem Bend and the border; the clothing on the bystanders especially the two boys in their long woollen socks thick overcoats and school caps brings back childhood memories from the early 1950s. But the train wreck is the story and this series of photographs serves graphically to confirm the official SAR estimates of the total weight of the engine and tender at more than 220 tons. hardcover

ANGAS Charles Howard Australia 1861 1928 and others
A keepsake album quarto approximately 100 leaves now a little worn compiled by a young Adelaide woman Laura Matilda Kaines 1857-1929 with her ownership details on an early blank 'Haltonbrook Kensington 1875'. The routine transcriptions sketches photographs prosaic notes and loosely inserted cuttings by family friends and acquaintances are enlivened by several topical watercolours mounted in the book
A pen-and-wash of a camp site on the banks of the River Murray by an unidentified artist 118 x 178 mm within a decorative border is upstaged by two well-executed no pun intended and graphic watercolours by Charles Angas a grandson of George Fife Angas. His father was John Howard Angas; George French Angas was his uncle. They are signed and dated 1881 and both depict hunting dogs. The first '"Mabel" single-handed The Farm March 81' 90 x 190 mm shows a dog in hot pursuit of a rabbit; the second '"Loo" and "Euchre" The Farm 27.12.80' 155 x 112 mm shows two dogs in a tangle with a rabbit in between them being savaged by the pair. What young Laura thought of it coming as it does between large slabs of Moore and Byron is anybody's guess . The Farm is almost certainly Collingrove near Angaston. unknown

Wise Attorney General lettered in gilt on upper cover Early photographs of a remote Pacific Island. Norfolk Island a largely autocratic dependency of Australia was first sighted by Captain James Cook on his second voyage and settled by the First Fleet in 1788. For the first half century of the 19th century the island was largely used as a penal colony with many of the worst offenders transferred from Australia to the remote island. In the 1850s after use of the island as a penal colony was abandoned the island was settled by the Pitcairn Island descendents of the Bligh mutineers. In the 1860s the Anglican church established a large Melanesian mission on the island. The present images by an unknown but likely Australian photographer comprise views of Kingston various lagoons and bays landscape scenes featuring the island's iconic pine tree and other vegetation images at the Melanesian Mission and group portraits of the island's inhabitants presumably including Bligh mutineer descendents. The original owner of this album was Bernhard Ringrose Wise 1858-1916 whose name appears on the upper cover; Wise served as the Attorney General of Australia from 1899-1904. unknown
