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.

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

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'.
