1990réf. 713h5973Canada: P.C.A.V.F. Fine. 1990. First Edition. Paperback. "Exciting events and dramatic changes have occurred during the first 50 years of logging the Chemainus River valley. The outstanding achievements of the operation were accomplished by the superb efforts of all those who have worked there. The long term plan to continue producing high quality logs at 1990 production levels or higher on a sustained yield basis will undoubtedly require as many changes in the next 50 years as we have seen in the past history of the operation. We trust that someone will pictorially record these changes so that those reviewing the history of copper Canyon in 2040 after a century of production can smile as we do today at the inefficiencies of our early efforts." - page 2. 44 pages. Printed upon glossy stock profusely illustrated with high-quality black and white reproductions of archival photos. Many photos include workers who are named. Undated second printing of the 1990 first edition probably circa 1990. Clean bright and unmarked with trivial wear. An excellent copy. ; Cover Illustration; 4to . P.C.A.V.F. paperback

1910réf. List3830N.p. 1910. Original real photo postcard on AZO stock stamp box with four upward-pointing triangles dating it to ca. 1904-1918; likely 1910s. Unused postcard back. Light wear and soiling with some surface marks and age toning. A real photo postcard of Bill Pickett the African American cowboy rodeo performer and early motion picture actor showing Pickett standing in a long overcoat and wide-brimmed hat holding a pistol at his side with a painted western landscape backdrop behind him. Bill Pickett was one of the best-known Black cowboys and rodeo performers of the early twentieth century. Born in Texas in 1870 he became famous for bulldogging later known as steer wrestling and worked in western shows and early motion pictures. This portrait shows him in a staged cowboy presentation with hat overcoat pistol and painted western backdrop emphasizing the public persona of the rodeo performer as much as the working cowboy. We find no other examples of this image or of studio portraits of Pickett in auction records or the trade. unknown

1841réf. 104249London: John Richards & Co 1841. 3rd Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London John Richards & Co. 1841 'Third edition revised and corrected to the present time'. Octavo ii title leaf xviii 476 civ appendix and index pages. Early half tan calf and marbled papered boards with a contrasting leather title-label on the spine; covers a little rubbed and scuffed with the head of both joints slightly cracked but firm; endpapers and adjacent leaves offset mainly from the leather turn-ins; minimal scattered light foxing; early marginal emphases in pencil and rarely in ink in particular to the later sections relating to the institutions and processes of government; related annotations on several pages; overall an excellent copy. Western's apparent aim was to demonstrate the superiority of the English constitution over all other forms of government. In that context the parochial provenance of this copy is hard to beat. The ownership signature of 'J.F. Burton Adelaide 1850' appears at the head of the title page and on the front free endpaper without the place-name. The latter is also signed in pencil 'J.H. Fisher' James Hurtle Fisher around which George Fife Angas has written 'Sept 21 1853. Presented by JHF to G.F. Angas'. The full name of George Fife Angas is also written there in pencil in what we recognize as a later secretarial hand indicating in our experience that the book came originally from Angas's library. Sir James Hurtle Fisher 1790-1875 'was one of the most important pioneers of South Australia': a lawyer he was appointed first Resident Commissioner of South Australia and arrived in the colony on the 'Buffalo' with the Governor's party. He eventually became a leader of the South Australian Bar 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Angas needs no introduction; suffice to say the provenance takes some beating. We know little about Burton other than that he was an Adelaide solicitor; he is mentioned as such occasionally in the local newspapers of the day. John Richards & Co hardcover

A scarce program brochure pertaining to the early Australian Navy just three years after its creation in 1910 by the passage of the Naval Defense Act.

However following the enthusiastic Australian public reaction to the visit of the American Great White Fleet the tide had turned and by 1910 the HMAS Parramatta and the Yarra were both launched. The commander for the new Royal Australian Navy was Admiral George Edwin Patey Rear Admiral Commanding HM Australian Fleet on loan from the Royal Navy.
