Opalotype Photograph
A fine nineteenth century example of a hand-painted head-and-shoulders opalotype portrait of an unidentified woman
The photograph is mounted behind an oval blood-red matt gilded on the bevelled edge visible image size 365 x 260 mm; these are surmounted by a second matt with an attractively scalloped inner edge. It is behind glass in an impressive vintage wooden frame - almost certainly of huon pine 80 mm wide - with a very ornate gilt fillet above the glass. The external dimensions are 680 x 555 mm; the visible surface of the glass is 490 x 360 mm. Opalotypes also called opaltypes and 'milk glass positives' are photographs printed on sheets of opaque translucent white glass. The process was patented in 1857 and although it survived until the 1920s this portrait from the later nineteenth century would have to be considered a very fine example of its type. It is also a credit to both the artistry of the photographer and the craftsmanship of the picture-framer neither of whom are identified. The item was purchased in Adelaide so it is highly likely the subject photographer and framer were local. unknown

GILL Harry Pelling
'Windsor Castle from Eton Meadows'. An original watercolour painting captioned twice once indistinctly signed and dated in pencil H.P. Gill 07
The watercolour on paper 140 � 225 mm is mounted once framed but now removed with traces of an old mat visible on the margins of the artwork. The painting is in excellent condition and it would be an ideal candidate for reframing. Harry Pelling Gill 1855-1916 art curator and teacher was born in England; he trained and taught at the Royal College of Art from 1877-82. He was then appointed master of the school of design in Adelaide. 'He arrived in Adelaide in September and organized elementary and advanced classes instruction in crafts teaching of drawing and correspondence lessons. He also gave instruction to trainee teachers. In 1889 Gill became director for technical art . He published books on geometrical drawing and design . In 1892 he was appointed honorary curator of the art gallery and following the resignation in December of Louis Tannert as master of the school of painting Gill assumed control of all the board's art teaching activities. Gill had shown promise as an artist and hoped to win repute in Australia. However teaching and administration had left little time for his painting. His rare decorative and aesthetic compositions and also his landscapes are painted with meticulous detail without sacrificing the overall unified effect. This is a quality passed on to some of his students including the Hambidge sisters and Gustave Barnes in his early work. Gill's landscapes and some of his interiors show that he was interested in the accurate rendering of light - a rare quality in Adelaide before 1900' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Gill travelled to England and Europe in 1899 and he went to New Zealand in early 1907. However he appears not to have visited England the year he produced this watercolour of Windsor Castle. unknown

GILL Harry Pelling
An original watercolour painting possibly of a sparsely settled Adelaide seaside suburb; unsigned but the artist is identified on the verso as H.P. Gill
The watercolour on paper 135 � 227 mm is unmounted; apart from a tiny light crease to one top corner it is in fine condition. It is undated but probably circa 1900. Harry Pelling Gill 1855-1916 art curator and teacher was born in England; he trained and taught at the Royal College of Art from 1877-82. He was then appointed master of the school of design in Adelaide. 'He arrived in Adelaide in September and organized elementary and advanced classes instruction in crafts teaching of drawing and correspondence lessons. He also gave instruction to trainee teachers.

This charming painting - of coastal tea tree or similar flourishing prominently against a backdrop of a few substantial dwellings scattered along a line in the relatively featureless landscape - certainly satisfies these criteria. unknown

'Inter-Collegiate Cricket 1910. PAC 118 and 209 v SPSC 368 and 191'. An original gelatin silver photograph of the St Peter's College team victorious to the tune of 232 runs
The photograph 218 x 294 mm is laid down as issued on the original printed mount; the photographer is E. Ziegler 40 Elizabeth St Norwood Ernest Charles Victor Ziegler active 1879-1925. The photograph and mount are in superb condition behind glass in the original frame. 'The Advertiser' 11 December 1931 sets the scene for these Inter-Collegiate matches: 'Today the annual cricket match between St Peter's and Prince Alfred Colleges will begin at the Adelaide Oval. Last year the game was played at Prince Alfred College the first time in the history of the matches first played in 1878 that the Adelaide Oval was not available. The match is one of the most important cricket events outside first-class matches in South Australia although in recent years it has failed to sic the importance and drawing power of inter-collegiate matches played before the war. Many famous cricketers have graduated from the college teams'. The 1910 SPSC team was no exception; sitting next to each other are C.E. Pellew and Vice-Captain A.G. Moyes. 'Nip' Pellew played for South Australia 1913-14 to 1928-29 the AIF Touring XI 1919 to 1919-20 and Australia ten Tests in 1920-21.

For many years he worked as a journalist including fifteen years as sporting editor of 'The Sun' and he published thirteen books on cricket. In 1949 he began 'broadcasting sporting sessions for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. In 1950-51 he covered his first Test series against England. In 1955 he received a full-time contract. As a cricket broadcaster he became a household name in Australia and New Zealand in the 1950s and early 1960s' ADB. unknown

BABBAGE Benjamin Herschel
A comprehensive collection of Parliamentary Papers pertaining to the explorations in South Australia of Benjamin Herschel Babbage 1815-1878 'engineer scientist and explorer . son of Charles Babbage Cambridge professor of mathematics and the first computer pioneer and his wife Georgina sister of W.W. Whitmore a founder of South Australia. In 1856 Babbage was sent north to search for gold as far as the Flinders Ranges. He found none but discovered the MacDonnell River Blanchewater and Mount Hopeful
He was the first to dispel the current idea of the impassability of the Lake Torrens 'horseshoe'. In late 1857 he was appointed leader of a northern expedition. Babbage left in February 1858 to explore the country between Lakes Torrens and Gairdner and further to the north and west. His concept of exploration was based on thorough survey mapping and examination of the country ideals with which Francis Dutton commissioner of crown lands agreed in his instructions and early correspondence. With cumbrous and ingenious equipment Babbage carried out the first part hampered by bad terrain and lack of water. But he had no sense of urgency and was thus completely out of tune with the current concept of opening up new country for quick exploitation. His slowness led to public and parliamentary clamour to which Dutton later succumbed and sent Peter Egerton Warburton to supersede him. Meanwhile Babbage had moved north from the Elizabeth River discovered Hermit Hill and delineated the western shores of Lake Eyre South. There Warburton relieved him on 5 November. Based on his experiences of 1856 Babbage also believed in a gap in the "horseshoe" and at Hermit Hill confirmed his belief. He had actually crossed the gap but Warburton was the first to traverse it completely. On grounds of unfair treatment Babbage successfully petitioned for a parliamentary inquiry. In 1858-59 voluminous evidence was taken but no report issued. He then withdrew from public life until 1866. In 1870-72 Charles Todd employed Babbage as an assistant in planning and plotting the Overland Telegraph line and as a supervisor of contractors. His achievements as an explorer were notable but the accompanying controversy tended unduly to overshadow them and his attainments in other fields' Australian Dictionary of Biography. Indeed 'the reports from the expedition were . a significant prelude to Stuart's successful crossing of the continent from south to north' in 1861-62 The Davidson Collection Third Sale July 2007 lot 565. This lengthy preamble should help explain the connection between the following eleven foolscap folio Parliamentary Papers relating to Benjamin Babbage published in Adelaide by the Government Printer in 1858 and 1859. 1 Northern Exploration. Reports &c of Explorations into the Interior by Messrs. Babbage Warburton Geharty and Parry. SAPP25/1858; 51 pages plus 2 large folding maps. 2 Northern Exploration. Further Correspondence respecting the Exploring Party under Command of Mr. Babbage. SAPP25/1858; 6 pages. 3 Cost of Northern Exploration. SAPP36/1858; 1 page. 4 Northern Exploration. Correspondence between the Hon. the Commissioner of Crown Lands and the Commissioner of Police Major Peter Egerton Warburton relative to the Progress of the Northern Exploring Parties. SAPP127/1858; 4 pages. 5 Northern Explorations. Reports from Messrs Babbage and Warburton and Police-Trooper Burtt on Exploration into the North and North-Western Interior of South Australia. SAPP151/1858; 19 pages plus 3 maps 2 folding. 6 Petition of B.H. Babbage. SAPP154/1858; 1 page. 7 Northern Exploration. Letter with Enclosure from Major Warburton relative to Exploration in the Neighborhood of Lake Torrens. SAPP159/1858; 3 pages. 8 Northern Exploration. Correspondence between the Honourable the Commissioner of Crown Lands and Major Warburton relative to the Northern Exploration. SAPP166/1858; 6 pages. 9 Cost of Northern Explorations. SAPP20/1859; 1 page. 10 Minutes of Evidence taken by the Select Committee appointed to enquire into and report on the Petition of B.H. Babbage. SAPP21/1859; 63 pages. 11 Northern Exploration. Correspondence between the Government and Messrs. Babbage and Warburton relative to Northern Explorations. SAPP37/1859; 2 pages. As often with these Parliamentary Papers relating to expeditions the maps are a constant source of pleasure. The best one in this group is one of the large folding maps in SAPP25/1858: 'Sketch of the Country North of the Gawler Ranges' 324 x 485 mm. It is a lithographed map printed in two colours in an unusual manner blue on the left red on the right: 'The portion in Blue is taken from a Plan supplied by Major Warburton. The portion in Red is taken from a Drawing supplied by Mr Babbage'. Recently bound in two matching volumes according to year of publication in cloth lettered in gilt on the front cover; all Parliamentary Papers printed on blue stock are in uniformly fine condition. South Australian Parliamentary Papers Numbers 25 25 36 127 151 154 159 and 166 of 1858 and 20 21 and 37 of 1859 McLaren 4981-4983 16481 4984-4986 16485 16486 4987 and 4988 respectively. Items 16481 16485 and 16486 are listed under Warburton only and not Babbage as well. We suggest they should be there; we have called them 4983A 4986A and 4986B in our annotated copy of the bibliography. Offered together with a related item Victorian Parliamentary Paper Number 1 of 1859 'Report on the Plants collected during Mr Babbage's Expedition into the North-Western Interior of South Australia in 1858' by Ferdinand Mueller foolscap folio 21 pages stab-sewn and uncut as issued; a fine copy albeit with minor infill to the bottom corner of the first two leaves. McLaren 13749. The complete suite of Parliamentary Papers relating to Babbage's 1858 Northern Exploring Expedition and its aftermath is very rare; for example the exceptional collection of Rodney Davidson contained only six of the above twelve items which sold in four lots to the one buyer for $5360 in 2007. hardcover

Trade Catalogue
East Bros. & Coy. Ltd. Agricultural Implement Makers Mallala South Australia label on an album of trade photographs and printed ephemera
A screw-bound album 205 x 295 mm worn marked and lacking one screw containing 46 original gelatin silver photographs of the company's products generally 110 x 70 mm or the reverse seven pages extracted from a printed catalogue issued by the company as East Bros. and Co. two pages of simple technical drawings including details of the wing and heel of some plough-shares about fifteen thin trade catalogues or leaflets from other companies mainly Horwood Bagshaw and Lister and loosely inserted a four-page brochure for the East Bros. & Coy. Ltd. Patented Baglifter. From internal evidence the bulk of the material in the album would appear to date from before the change of business name in 1933 as outlined in the potted history below. The company was founded by Mathew Henry East 1861-1940 in Mallala approximately 60 kilometres north of Adelaide in the late 1880s. He 'patented the prong mould board plough skeleton board which proved to be a gigantic success in heavy sticky soil. He was among the first of the plough makers to make the stump plow of four wheels. The plant in the factory was rather crude as most of the machinery was designed by M.H. East himself and to drive the plant a horseworks was necessary. This condition of manufacture continued for several years and was eventually replaced by an oil engine. In 1906 two sons . joined their father in the business and the trade name was altered to East Bros. & Co. From 1906 until the outbreak of World War I the seasons were prosperous and trading in farm implements made rapid strides. In 1914-18 the World War I period manufacturing was somewhat slowed down because of scarcity of materials. In 1933 East Bros. became East Bros. & Co. Ltd. Mathew Henry East died on 7 October 1940 just short of his eightieth birthday. The business he had started continued to operate for a further 30 years until its closure on 7 August 1970. He was recognised by the Commonwealth for his contribution to South Australia by the naming on 13 April 1976 of East Place in Kambah ACT' Mallala page on the 'Now and Then' community heritage wiki website. One rarely encounters trade catalogues like this a warts and all nuts and bolts prototype cobbled together for in-house use rather than a slick commercial production designed to entice the consumer. Some correspondence relating to the genealogy of the extended East family is included with the album. unknown

London: George Philip 1861. First Edition. Hardcover. London George Philip late 1861. A full-colour map printed surface 610 x 510 mm cut into 20 panels mounted on linen as issued folded and mounted in the publisher's gilt-decorated cloth case external dimensions 190 x 118 mm. Slight wear to the corners of the case with minimal restoration to the spine; light erasures to the pastedown and paper-lined verso of the exposed panel of the folded map; the map is lightly marked in one spot but is essentially in fine condition. There are two interesting rubber-stamps on one cloth panel that of 'W.C. Rigby Newsagent Adelaide' and 'Archiv. Provinciae Austriae S. J.'; the erasures mentioned above appear to have removed a couple of examples of the Jesuit Archive stamp. Philips' Authentic Maps of the Australian Colonies Number 6 according to the information printed on the front pastedown. Tooley 974 basic details of the map only not noting the Travelling Maps series. Pertinent details printed on the map that provide evidence of the date of publication include 'Burke & Wills 1860-61' and the locations where King and the bodies of Gray Burke and Wills were found King was found in September 1861. The latest reference to Stuart is 'Stuart's Route 1860' presumably his fifth expedition from November 1860 to September 1861. The entire region of South Australia west of about 133 degrees east longitude and north of the coastline is described as 'Unexplored Country added to South Australia in 1861'; the Act to annex this land was passed in Great Britain in August 1861. Historians of Australian bookselling will know that William Charles Rigby commenced trading as a bookseller and newsagent in Adelaide in late 1859. George Philip hardcover

Adelaide: The Author 1932. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide The Author 1932. Octavo xii 173 pages plus 21 plates and a tipped-in errata slip. Cloth lightly marked and slightly rubbed and bumped at the extremities; an excellent copy with a most interesting provenance. From the collection of Dr Edward Angas Johnson with his signature in ink instead of the much more common rubber-stamped facsimile. Edward Angas Johnson 1873-1951 was an Adelaide medical practitioner prominent in public health circles; his grandmother was a daughter of George Fife Angas. 'His hobby was collecting curios and historical relics especially those relating to South Australian history. This remarkable collection and his library were distributed to public institutions before his death' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. This copy has ten relevant newspaper or magazine cuttings and a colour postcard mounted or tipped in on nine pages including the endpapers. There are references to Angas Johnson on four pages of the book noted in pencil; one of these is an acknowledgement in the preface for his 'assistance in the collection of data'. Of greater interest however are the two letters from the author accompanying the book. One dated 4 September 1933 one page octavo answers a query regarding local nomenclature. The other dated 10 December 1930 one page quarto relates in detail Hodge's disappointment at the recent rejection of the manuscript by the London publishers Kegan Paul. The reasons given were that it was 'too local to make its publication in England a payable proposition . and That financial conditions at present in connection with the Australian trade render it absolutely impossible both words underlined'. The silver lining for Angas Johnson at any rate was that he received with the letter a lengthy manuscript article four pages quarto relating to Granite Island 'copied out for the edification of your son. I would however like him to regard it as private family information for the present as the book may possibly be published later on'. The Author hardcover

Recent cloth lettered in gilt on the front cover; title page a little unevenly sunned near the front bottom corner and along the bottom edge with a few tiny light marks; expert restoration to a tiny cut to the bottom edge of the last seven leaves and a trifling spot of silverfish damage to the leading margin of the last leaf; an excellent copy. South Australian Parliamentary Paper Number 27 of 1905; one of only 730 copies. McLaren 7723. The Murchison and Davenport Ranges in 1898 and 1899 and from the vicinity of Tennant Creek westward to within 30 miles of the Western Australian border and back by a circuitous route Tanami The Granites in 1900. Davidson explored one of the few regions that remained unknown at the end of the nineteenth century and fellow Australian explorer Charles Winnecke considered that 'Mr Davidson's journey although not quite so extensive should be classed with that of other leading explorers; his work is of double interest also to us by the fact that it gives us a correct knowledge of the topographical as well as geological nature of the country which has not been the case with many other explorers'. The last three pages of this paper reprint a lecture on Davidson's explorations given in 1901 by Winnecke wherein the latter explains how he was responsible for compiling the maps from Davidson's 'bearings and old field notes and plans'.

WOODS Mrs John Crawford
The Jew and the Roman. A Story of the First Century
Adelaide: George Robertson 1878. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide George Robertson 1878. Small quarto iv 138 pages. Original green cloth lettered and decorated in gilt on the front cover and spine and ruled in blind front and rear; cloth moderately flecked; an excellent copy internally fine. Printed and bound in Melbourne with the binder's label of George Robertson on the rear pastedown. Mrs John Crawford Woods was the wife of the first minister 1855-1889 of the Unitarian Christian Church in South Australia. This book 'was published in Adelaide at a time when novels of primitive Christianity were in vogue in Britain' and according to Paul Depasquale in 'A Critical History of South Australian Literature 1836-1930' enabled Mrs Woods to more than satisfy George Eliot's dictum about female authors: 'The inability of a lady novelist to describe actual life and her fellow men is in inverse proportion to her confident eloquence about God and the other world and the means by which she usually chooses to conduct you to true ideas of the invisible is a totally false picture of the visible'.

Murray River. KINLOCH Arthur
The Murray River. Being a Journal of the Voyage of the 'Lady Augusta' Steamer from the Goolwa in South Australia to Gannewarra above Swan Hill Victoria a Distance from the Sea Mouth of 1400 Miles
Adelaide: W.C. Cox Printer 1853. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide W.C. Cox Printer 1853. Octavo 46 pages. Relatively recent quarter morocco and buckram by the Law Bindery Melbourne; title leaf a little foxed with minimal light scattered foxing to a few other leaves; an excellent copy with most interesting provenance see below. The author Clerk of the Executive Council of South Australia was on board the vessel; this is his account of the first successful navigation of the Murray as far as Swan Hill by Captain Francis Cadell. Fellow-passenger James Allen also published his version of events. Captain William Randell and his paddle-steamer 'Mary Ann' left Goolwa at the Murray mouth ahead of Cadell and travelled much farther up the Murray but Cadell overtook him en route and reached Swan Hill first. However both men deservedly earned the bonus of 2000 pounds offered by the South Australian Government 'for each of the first two steamers to travel up the Murray as far as the Darling junction' Australian Dictionary of Biography. We have noted previously the manuscript correction page 5 line 4 'largest' to 'longest' river and presume it is in Kinloch's hand. At the head of the title page of this copy is the pencilled ownership name possibly his signature of Robert Wadsworth over-written in red ink by the subsequent owner 'John Shillinglaw from Robert Wadsworth 1854'. Shillingworth has annotated the text in both pencil and red ink three and seven pages respectively. The pencilling identifies the 'gentleman's son' working as a shepherd as 'old "Bigodd Macdonald"' and asks elsewhere of a sentence nine lines long 'what does this wretched twaddler mean' he's got a point too!. Robert Wadsworth was eventually Clerk of the Victorian Executive Council from 1875 to 1889; of passing interest to bibliophiles his son Arthur 1864-1931 was the first Commonwealth Parliamentary Librarian having 'charge of the Commonwealth library for over twenty-six years while also being titular head of the Victorian State parliamentary library' Australian Dictionary of Biography. John Joseph Shillinglaw 1831-1905 public servant and historian was the eldest son of the librarian of the Royal Geographical Society. 'He was to study under Captain John Washington eminent maritime surveyor and in 1852 he migrated with his father and brothers to Victoria arriving in October. From November he was chief clerk of petty sessions at Williamstown and in 1854 was appointed inspector and sometime acting superintendent of the Water Police. He was also secretary to the Steam Navigation Board until December 1857. In 1856-69 he was shipping-master for the Port of Melbourne and registrar of seamen; he helped to found the first Sailors' Home and did much to improve the working conditions of seamen'. It is hardly surprising that he should be given a copy of this book soon after its publication. He held various public service positions over the years; from 1885-94 he 'was secretary to the royal commission on vegetable products. He was also secretary to the Board of Viticulture. Shillinglaw was an enthusiast in whatever department he worked; however he is remembered for his association with colonial literature and history'. He was the author of numerous books and on his death his estate 'included a vast collection of papers and rare books' presumably including this item ADB. Ferguson 11196. W.C. Cox, Printer hardcover

KAVEL Pastor August
A manuscript petition signed by 54 'householders and members of the German Lutheran Congregations of Klemzig and Hahndorf' on 26 May 1842 seeking to have Pastor Kavel licensed as an Officiating Minister under a new 'Act for Regulating Marriages in the Province of South Australia'
Foolscap folio a bifolium comprising the half-page petition with three neat columns each of fourteen signatures below it; a further twelve signatures on the verso; third page blank; fourth page docketed. Four horizontal folds with very slight wear to the open ends of the creases; when folded the docketed portion of the last leaf has been exposed and is a little sunned; overall the document is in excellent condition. The Act came into operation on 1 July 1842. It called for Ministers of Religion to be registered or any marriages they performed would be deemed invalid. Automatically eligible under the Act were 'clergymen of the United Church of England and Ireland and of the Church of Scotland'. Section XXXII stated 'That any minister of religion who shall have been for a period of twelve months in charge of a christian congregation consisting of at least forty householders resident in the province may apply to the Registrar General and the Registrar General on production of certificates signed in duplicate by such forty householders at least stating that the applicant has been for such period of twelve months a minister of religion in charge of such congregation of which they are members shall enter such applicant as an officiating minister within the meaning of this Act in a book to be kept for that purpose and shall file and preserve one of such certificates among the records of this office and shall give public notice thereof in the South Australian Government Gazette'. Offered here for sale is one of the original pair of petitions being the copy returned to the parishioners in accordance with the strict letter of the Act. That it has survived is one thing handed down through one of the families. That virtually all of the signatories arrived in South Australia on the 'German First Fleet' is something else again. The story is too well-known to require a detailed account but briefly during 'the bitter church struggle arising from the King of Prussia's attempt in 1817 to enforce unity of Lutherans and Calvinists within his realm' Australian Dictionary of Biography Pastor August Kavel and his congregation sought to emigrate to places where they could practise their faith in freedom. In 1836 he heard of George Fife Angas and the new colony of South Australia. The upshot was that the 'largest group of devout families that he Angas persuaded to emigrate to the new colony were the German Lutherans under Pastor August Kavel. When the Colonization Commission and the South Australian Company refused to help he personally advanced some �8000 to the Germans for their migration. On arrival many of them became tenants on his land at Klemzig' ADB. They arrived on the 'Prince George' the 'Bengalee' the 'Zebra' and the 'Catharina' between 18 November 1838 and 22 January 1839. The first notice regarding the licensing of ministers under the new Act was dated 25 May 1842 and it appeared in the South Australian Government Gazette Number 229 published the following day. The notice was placed by the Registrar General none other than Charles Sturt unhappily cooling his heels in an inferior position on insufficient pay while preparing 'a grandiose plan for exploring and surveying within two years the entire unknown interior of the continent' ADB - but that's another story . When he received the Kavel petitions he docketed them; on this copy he wrote '1. Certificate of the Householders of the Villages of Klemzig and Handorff sic in favor of the Revd. A. Kavel Lutheran Minister. May 26th 1842' and signed it 'C. Sturt RG'. A more pleasing and unlikely group of signatures relating to the foundation of South Australia that one might wish to have materialise after some 170 years is difficult to imagine! Notification that 'the Reverend Augustus Kavel has been entered as an Officiating Minister' appeared in Gazette Number 231 on 9 June 1842. unknown
