Adelaide and Environs
Five large vinyl-covered photograph albums each approximately 400 x 330 x 70 mm containing approximately 2400 colour photographs of buildings in Adelaide city and suburbs and nearby country towns
CHECK ON TWO ADDITIONAL ALBUMS. Internal evidence suggests they were taken in the mid- to late-1990s by someone with a passion for South Australia's colonial architecture from workman's cottage to squatter's castle as well as the more commonly recorded churches and public buildings. Although this extensive gallery of our built environs is barely twenty-five years old it is already looking in parts like a revised edition of Michael Burden's 1983 classic work 'Lost Adelaide'. The photographs either 100 x 160 mm or 95 x 150 mm are in very fine condition easily removable from the album leaves hopefully they are indeed 'acid free card with alkaline glue and polypropylene overlays'. The places depicted in each album are noted in order on adhesive labels on the front covers there are many visual clues to what and where is pictured and samples taken at random from each volume indicate that a percentage of the prints are captioned on the verso in ink presumably by the photographer who unfortunately remains anonymous. In addition there are also approximately 185 reproductions of early black and white photographs 35 commercial colour postcard photographs and 30 miscellaneous photographs including a few of people which may lead to the identity of the photographer. unknown

Photography. SMITH W. Ramsay
An original gelatin silver photograph 110 x 90 mm mounted on stiff card 220 x 170 mm inscribed in white ink on the mount beneath the photograph: 'With Christmas Greetings from Dr and Mrs Ramsay Smith'. It is stamped on the rear 'Photo. by Dr. W. Ramsay Smith' and captioned in his hand 'At Port Vila - New Hebrides'
Ramsay Smith describes 'picture-making' at Port Vila in detail in his 1924 book 'In Southern Seas' and this image contains all the elements referred to: one's wife 'for comparison and relief to the various objects in the picture' the harbour as background to the wooded heights the ship in the distance . The corners of the mount are slightly rounded and both the image and the mount are a little foxed; overall it is an attractive item with more than the usual amount of background information. William Ramsay Smith 1859-1937 physician naturalist anthropologist civil servant soldier - and controversy was often never far away see the Australian Dictionary of Biography. His entry there states that 'Believing that tribal Aborigines were dying out he recorded their folklore in 'Myths and Legends of the Australian Aborigines' London 1930. Subsequent to this being published Dr Philip Jones has also recorded in the ADB that from the early 1920s David Unaipon 1872-1967 the Aboriginal preacher author and inventor 'studied Aboriginal mythology and compiled his versions of legends . Gathered before 1930 the legends are in his surviving manuscript in the Mitchell Library: they were commissioned and published by William Ramsay Smith without acknowledgment'. unknown

Hugo pressed for a "bushmen's home" like a seamen's home as a quiet sober refuge. Opposition came from those who saw it as a squatters' movement but his canvassing bushmen's subscriptions and philanthropic support enabled the home to open in Whitmore Square Adelaide in May 1870' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'.

A substantial archive of original pen and ink cartoon artwork by Norm Mitchell editorial cartoonist for the Adelaide Advertiser for 30 years until his untimely death. He won a Walkley Award for the best Australian cartoon in 1975
The archive comprises nearly 440 pieces each approximately 320 x 510 mm or larger many from the later 1970s when Mitchell was at the height of his powers. A unique commentary on the personalities and events of the times: when Hawke Fraser and Dunstan were in power Nixon went to China the war in Vietnam ended and the first wave of 'boat people' began many Indigenous Australians were in a parlous state cricket and cricketers still caused grief. unknown
