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

South Australia. BARTHOLOMEW John
Philips' Series of Travelling Maps. South Australia cover title on the cloth case of a linen-backed folding map
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

HODGE Charles Reynolds
Encounter Bay. The Miniature Naples of Australia. A Short History of the Romantic South Coast of South Australia
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

Foolscap folio 76 pages plus 2 extremely large folding colour maps: 'Map of Explorations in Central Australia . 1898 to 1901' showing the geographical and topographical nature of the relevant regions 575 � 1550 mm with a small section extending beyond the top margin and one giving details of an 11000 square mile block prospected by Davidson in the first two years paper size 622 � 1747 mm. 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

Tourist Guide. A.B.C. Tourist Bureau. The Centre for Service . Service Car Time-Tables. Vol. 2 No. 2 December 1936 cover title
Adelaide: ABC Tourist Bureau 1936. First Edition. Paperback. Adelaide ABC Tourist Bureau 1936. Quarto 176 pages with numerous illustrations from photographs many of them within advertisements. Gilt-pictorial red card covers; a very fine copy. The cover subtitle 'Service Car Time-Tables' doesn't begin to tell the whole story. For each destination some interstate for example Portland Hamilton Lorne and Sea Lake in Victoria and Broken Hill Mildura and Wentworth in NSW there is a potted history of the place and advertisements from local and almost invariably small businesses. These often feature photographs of the business premises mainly facades but there are interior scenes too; 80 years later it has become another worthy volume in the 'Lost Australia' series. Apparently there were three issues of this guide produced by the ABC Austral Booking Company Tourist Bureau: Volume 1 Number 1 in August 1935 this issue and a Sydney Sesquicentenary issue in 1937. ABC Tourist Bureau paperback

Illuminated Address
An illuminated address visible image 390 x 260 mm presented 'To H. Basford Esq. On behalf of the Presbyterian Church of Murray Bridge and Monarto' December 1916
An attractive calligraphic testimonial to the outgoing Honorary Secretary in blue ink on a two-tone blue background within a decorative gilt border signed by nine senior members of the congregation. It is surmounted by a large ornamental scroll a mass of wattle blossom and a large vignette illustration of a paddle steamer towing a heavily-laden barge on the River Murray. The copious amounts of dirty smoke belching forth are starkly realistic - an unexpected bonus on an otherwise routine production. The work is signed 'Niehuus & Lucy Adelaide'; we are unsure when they commenced work together but the partnership was dissolved four months after this commission was completed. Minimal foxing and light surface blemishes do not detract from this charming period piece recently archivally mounted. unknown
