Photographic Views of Adelaide South Australia. Series

1880ref. 141137Adelaide: E.S. Wigg & Son 1880. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Adelaide E.S. Wigg & Son 1880s. Duodecimo 170 × 113 mm a cased leporello comprising 12 original albumen silver photographs each approximately 95 × 150 mm mounted on cards captioned and bordered in red joined together with cloth hinges. Blue cloth lettered and decorated in gilt and decorated in black and blind; cloth lightly rubbed at the extremities; card mounts uniformly tanned; a near-fine example with the contents in fine condition. The views are mainly street scenes and public buildings; all of them are illustrated on our website. Three of the plates are signed in the negative 'Sweet Adelaide' albeit an attempt has been made in two of them to mask these details and the balance of the photographs are almost certainly his work. We have a similar item in red cloth entitled 'Photographic Views of Adelaide South Australia. Series II'; only two of the images are the same 'Rundle Street and The Arcade' and 'Coast Natives' Wurlie'. Captain Samuel White Sweet 1825-1886 was a sea captain surveyor and photographer: after he was censured when his ship ran aground in 1875 he 'retired from the sea opened a photographic studio in Adelaide and concentrated on landscapes. With his horse-drawn dark room he travelled through South Australia taking hundreds of skilful pictures of the outback stations and homesteads. The colony's foremost documentary photographer of the 1870s in the early 1880s he was one of the first to use the new dry-plate process' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. 'Coast Natives' Wurlie' was clearly taken at the same time as the scene in the frontispiece to Taplin's 'The Folklore Manners Customs and Languages of the South Australian Aborigines' published in 1879 and illustrated with original photographs by Samuel Sweet.

Essays and Miscellaneous Pieces by the late Edward R. Stephenson. With a preface by his friend C. Todd .

1865ref. 78579Adelaide: Andrews Thomas and Clark 1865. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide Andrews Thomas and Clark 1865. Octavo ii frontispiece ii title leaf vi 118 vi book review pages with 2 mounted albumen paper photographs one is a frontispiece portrait of Stephenson 87 × 57 mm; the other is of a sketch presumably by Stephenson 103 × 57 mm. The book review reprinted from the 'South Australian Register' December 28 1865 has been folded down the middle before being bound in. Full morocco now expertly rebacked all edges gilt contemporary but probably not original - we have only seen blind-stamped cloth before; corners worn front and rear covers a little scuffed; overall a very good copy. One of the earliest Australian imprints illustrated with original photographs see Holden: 'Photography in Colonial Australia' Sydney 1988 where the author is incorrectly referred to in the text and index as Stevensen. The first essay the St Peter's Collegiate School Prize Essay of 1864 is entitled 'The Difficulties of Colonization in the Northern Territory' 17 pages; another two pages are devoted to the importance of the acquisition of the Northern Territory to South Australia. Almost half the book 58 pages is given over to verse by Stephenson who died at the age of 18 in May 1865. Inscribed on an early blank in what we know to be the hand of Charles Todd to 'Mr Edwd Stirling Junr / Xmas 1865'; with the pictorial bookplate 'Gang forward' of Edward Charles Stirling. Ferguson 16245; Holden 103. We have previously sold a copy inscribed by Todd to his daughter on 4 December 1865 in which the review was loosely inserted as an eight-page pamphlet. The Christmas inscription and the inclusion of the review not published until 28 December suggest that this morocco binding came after the event. Andrews, Thomas, and Clark hardcover

[Port Pirie]Biblio.com

A collection of five original vintage photographs comprising interesting group portraits

1920ref. 147359Port Pirie 1920. Fine. Port Pirie circa 1920s. Five original gelatin silver prints from 140 to 160 × 200 mm individually mounted on thick card all approximately 245 × 305 mm. Minor corner wear to one mount; all other mounts and all photographs are in fine condition. One item is captioned in white ink on the mount 'Port Pirie Pioneers' Association 28/6/24' and signed 'Mallyon'. The State Library of South Australia has a copy of this photograph in its collection B 2318 with the photographer identified as C.K. Mallyon in ink on the photograph and as C.M. Mallyon in the accompanying information. An account of the 16th anniversary gathering of members of the association with many of the members named appeared in the Adelaide newspaper 'The Chronicle' on Saturday 5 April 1924. The portrat appears to have been taken against the backdrop of the side wall of what is now the Anglican Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. This is one of some 30 SA churches designed by self-taught architect William Kingsnorth Mallyon 1850-1933 between 1881 and 1912. Mallyon the photographer is presumably a relative. The second group portrait includes two bishops and numerous priests with the back row almost all women against the same backdrop possibly taken around the same time as the previous photograph. The verso has the inkstamp of 'Mallyon Studios Pirie' with 'Copyright J.L. Stanier' in ink above it. The substantial history of Port Pirie by Ken Bullock 'Port Pirie. The Friendly City' 1988 devotes half a page to 'One Shot Stanier': 'John served his apprenticeship with a Fleet Street news-agency before migrating to Australia in 1924. He caught up with Port Pirie soon afterwards when he took over Townsend Duryea's photographic business and later married Dorrie the daughter of well-known photographer George Rogers' page 425. The third photograph contains some of the same ministers of religion in a smaller group in a similar setting. The photographer is not identified. The fourth photograph features a large group of women and children with a priest in the centre. The corrugated iron building with lancet lead-light windows in the background suggests a Sunday School group. 'Duryea's Studio' is printed in white on the bottom right-hand corner of the mount. We have not identified the location in or even as Port Pirie but we have retained the item in the collection as found by association. The final photograph is perhaps the most interesting as it depicts a group of well-dressed men in front of two large trade union banners. The very large pictorial one is mounted on a horse-drawn wagon; the other one headed 'Trades & Labor Council Pt Pirie' has its message partially obscured but what is visible - 'Work' 'not' and 'six hour' - send a signal. All the men appear to be wearing aprons emblazoned with the Freemasonry's square and compasses symbol and the initials 'CMB'. 5 items. unknown

South Australia in 1837 in a Series of Letters. With a Postscript as to 1838

1838ref. 140755London: Harvey and Darton 1838. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London Harvey and Darton 1838 first edition. Duodecimo viii 136 pages. Original full dark green leather extensively decorated in blind on both sides recently rebacked in dark green calf retaining an early cloth backstrip and small leather title-label with slight loss; new marbled endpapers; leather worn at the extremities with the corners of the boards rounded off; all edges gilt; minor signs of age and use including some early pencilling most of it lightly erased; overall a very good copy. A presentation copy in a presentation binding inscribed on the flyleaf to 'The Revd. H.M. Villiers with the author's best regards'. Robert Gouger 1802-1846 'Earnest persistent and practical . with a pleasant manner and a persuasive tongue but he was inclined to exaggerate his own republican views and the virtues of South Australia. With his youthful looks and boyish ardour he was often thought to be brash and reckless yet he was South Australia's most devoted promoter' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. 'The South Australian Act was passed in August 1834 and a month later Gouger presented his library of colonial books to the South Australian Literary and Scientific Association. After much delay and more hard work by Gouger the South Australian Colonization Commission was gazetted in May 1835. Its first appointment was Gouger as colonial secretary a recognition of faithful service that was affirmed even by the Colonial Office'. He arrived on the 'Africaine' in November 1836. His young wife and new-born son both died five months later. He 'bought eight town acres 3.2 ha at Adelaide's first land sale and began to build a house but was soon entangled in the party factions that bedevilled the new settlement. He quarrelled with Osmond Gilles; after a public brawl they were both arrested and Gouger was suspended. By way of Hobart Town he left in November 1837 for England where he was reinstated by the Colonization Commission raised funds for a Congregational chapel in Adelaide and published "South Australia in 1837; in a series of letters with a postscript as to 1838". In October 1838 he married his cousin Sarah Whittem of Kenilworth. Gouger returned to Adelaide in June 1839 and resumed office but his health began to fail. Soon after Governor Sir George Grey arrived he was appointed colonial treasurer. He bore the brunt of Grey's economic reorganization until August 1844 when he had to apply for leave because of mental affliction. He had also suffered in the depression but his claims for a pension and repayment of salary lost during his suspension were refused by the Colonial Office. Although Gouger had £1700 worth of securities the sale of his effects yielded barely enough for him to return to London with his family. He died at Kensington on 4 August 1846 survived by his widow two sons and a daughter'. Ferguson 2497. Provenance: Henry Montagu Villiers 1813-1861 bishop of Durham fifth son of George Villiers 1759-1827 and younger brother of George William Frederick Villiers fourth earl of Clarendon . In 1836 he was ordained to the curacy of Deane Lancashire and on 25 Jan. 1837 was removed to the vicarage of Kenilworth Warwickshire. The lord chancellor Lord Lyndhurst gave him the wealthy rectory of St. George's Bloomsbury London in 1841 and it was as rector of St. George's that he made his reputation displaying great ability and untiring zeal in the management of his large parish. He was an extreme low churchman and especially appealed as a preacher to the poor. The dissenters in his vestry eagerly supported him and with men of every sect and stamp who belonged to the evangelical order he avowed the fullest sympathy. He introduced an admirable system of management into his parochial schools. From 26 March 1847 to 1856 he was a canon of St. Paul's Cathedral. In June 1860 he was translated to the see of Durham. Great things were expected from his energy and tact in Durham where the spiritual provisions were very deficient; but he died at the Castle Bishop Auckland on 9 Aug. 1861' 'Dictionary of National Biography'. The book later entered the collection of Sir Archibald Grenfell Price 1892-1977 geographer historian and educationist; his armorial bookplate has been remounted on the renewed pastedown.

UNAIPON, DavidBiblio.com

Native Legends

1929ref. 138109Adelaide: Hunkin Ellis & King Printers and Publishers Pirie Street 1929. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide Hunkin Ellis & King Printers and Publishers Pirie Street first published 1929; suggested third issue with minor differences as detailed below. Octavo 16 pages with 2 illustrations from photographs on pages 6 and 12; the colophon at the foot of the last page states 'Hunkin Ellis and King Ltd. Printers Pirie Street Adelaide'. Pale green wrappers with a portrait of the author on the front cover plus text on the inside rear cover 'An Aboriginal Pleads for His Race' by David Unaipon; wrappers foxed and lightly used with the spine expertly stabilised on the inside; unrelated text written in ink on the blank outside rear cover and in the blank bottom quarter of the last page quoting Sir Stanton Hicks on soil health; overall a very good copy. This is claimed - incorrectly - to be the first book by an Aboriginal Australian see Michael Richards: 'People Print and Paper. A Catalogue of a Travelling Exhibition celebrating the Books of Australia 1788-1988' National Library of Australia 1988 - item 48 with 1929 as the date of publication. Both the Australian National Bibliography and Greenway are unclear confused and confusing on this point but a review copy with this date in Sir Will Sowden's hand has been sighted and that should settle it. Variant issues of both the first and later editions of this seminal work exist: obvious changes to this edition include the page count commencing with the first page and not the second; the removal of the lizard illustration from the fourth page and the addition of the text on the inside rear cover. Subtle changes indicate that the book was partially reset: these include the variant colophon on the last page the Pirie Street address no longer includes the number 113; a variant font for the captions; and variant spacings between the headings and text. It is worth enumerating the other variants we have identified and our suggested order of issue. There are two different cover illustrations: the portrait of the author as with this copy and a portrait of a young Indigenous woman Clara and each appears on at least two variant colour wrappers. In the first issue the outside rear cover carries a small advertisement within a thin border: 'The Narrinyeri Their Customs and Traditions By David Unaipon Is in Course of Preparation'. This advertisement appears to have been removed from all subsequent issues most likely because the proposed publication did not appear under the advertised title and not even under Unaipon's name if it is the book we think it is. In early 1927 after an unfortunate breakdown in communications between David Unaipon and Angus and Robertson the publishers sold the copyright of Unaipon's manuscript 'Legendary Tales of the Australian Aborigines' to Dr William Ramsay Smith. In 1930 in a slightly edited form not least with Smith now claiming full authorship the manuscript was published in London as 'Myths and Legends of the Australian Aboriginals'. The full account of this unhappy story was published in 'Legendary Tales of the Australian Aborigines' edited by Stephen Muecke and Adam Shoemaker Miegunyah Press 2001. What we believe to be the second issue contains two rather than three illustrations to the text the lizard illustration from the fourth page is removed; the printer's street number 113 and the name of the city are lacking from the colophon; and there is no advertisement on the rear cover. The third issue as in the present copy is similar to the second but can be distinguished by corrected pagination the page count commences with the first page and not the second; another variant colophon with 'and' instead of an ampersand and Adelaide reintroduced; captions set in different type; and the addition of text to the inside rear cover 'An Aboriginal Pleads for His Race'.
