1963ref. 145411London: Griggs Lander Associates Limited for Donald Campbell 1963. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. London Griggs Lander Associates Limited for Donald Campbell February 1963. Small oblong quarto 183 × 245 mm 16 pages with numerous two-colour line illustrations plus the colour-pictorial covers. Colour-pictorial card covers featuring Roy Nockolds artwork with colour illustrations on the inside panels; covers lightly rubbed with a short crease to the front top corner; an excellent copy internally fine. Donald Campbell has signed his portrait printed on the first page done at a book launch in Adelaide at the time. The 1963 World Land Speed Record attempt at Lake Eyre was abandoned when a 20-year drought broke and the lake was flooded; a successful attempt was made the following year. Most of the illustrations relate to the construction of the Bluebird-Proteus CN7 vehicle used in both attempts. Offered together with an original gelatin silver photograph 191 × 236 mm of a group of seven men leaning on or standing near the vehicle on the salt pan at Lake Eyre. The photograph was taken by Leonard George Gallagher employed at the time by the Weapons Research Establishment in Adelaide; he was at Lake Eyre as part of the Commonwealth Government's contribution to the record attempt. He was not an official photographer but he produced a unique album for his own benefit which we sold some years ago. This print has a few creases; a better example of it was present in the album. A copy of 'Bluebird and the Dead Lake. The Story of Donald Campbell's Land Speed Record at Lake Eyre in 1964' by John Pearson London Collins 1965; a very good copy with the dustwrapper comes with the ephemera. 3 items.

ref. 110709Image size 229 × 286 mm on the original mount 252 × 304 mm with the caption in ink below the image behind a mat with interior quarter-round corners maximum visible image size 223 × 282 mm framed and glazed with a gilt fillet behind the glass. The caption is not visible when the mat is in position; the bottom left-hand corner of the mount and photograph has been broken away and repaired with a 75 mm diagonal crack across that corner visible but unobtrusive; there is a tiny amount of surface loss to the shirt of the player in the centre of the front row; overall a very appealing period piece in an early but not contemporary mat and frame. Furreedpore Faridpur formerly in East Bengal India now Bangladesh has important Australian connections exemplified by this photograph. Silas Mead 1834-1909 a Baptist minister emigrated to South Australia in July 1861; 'he preached at chapels in Adelaide and North Adelaide. Regular services began at White's Rooms and within a month a Baptist Church was constituted with twenty-six members. Inspired by Mead's enthusiastic leadership the congregation decided to build a large church in Flinders Street; it was opened on 19 May 1863. When its cost of £7000 was cleared by 1864 he established at Furreedpore India the first constituted Australian Baptist Foreign Mission and later helped to found similar societies in other Australian colonies'. His son Dr Cecil Silas Mead 1866-1940 followed closely in his footsteps; after graduating from the University of Adelaide in 1891 'he served as a medical missionary in eastern Bengal for twenty-nine years returned to Adelaide to teach anatomy in 1923-39 and died in June 1940' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Dr Mead is second from the right in the top seated row; we have no reason to doubt that this photograph was once in his possession and for all intents and purposes it is unique. A copy of 'Doctor Sahib: The Story of Dr Cecil Silas Mead' by Elva Schroeder 2013 is offered together with the photograph. 2 items. unknown

1870ref. 112789Adelaide: The Adelaide Photographic Company 1870. Adelaide The Adelaide Photographic Company circa 1870. An albumen paper photograph 94 × 61 mm mounted as issued on the printed card 104 × 63 mm of The Adelaide Photographic Company. A few tiny surface scrapes to the bottom millimetre or so of the photograph and slight surface loss to the plain section of the mount adjacent to it but overall the condition is excellent. There is an example of the same image in the State Library of NSW a gift from a family member John Howard Johnson dated January 1870. The 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' has this to say about Angas: 'although his prominence in the foundation of South Australia has been somewhat exaggerated . he deserves full credit for the capital and settlers that he introduced into the new colony'. He emigrated with his family in 1851 and spent the rest of his life in the colony. The Adelaide Photographic Company unknown
