1841réf. 16578London: Thomas M'Lean 1841. Very good condition. A lovely mezzotint engraved portrait of the Queen 1792 - 1849 dressed in widow's garb following the death of her husband King William IV of England. The capital city of the Australian state of South Australia was named in honor of the Queen when it was founded in 1836. South Australia was formed under the Act for the Colonization of South Australia of 1834 and was intended to be a haven of civil and religious liberties. The portrait of the Queen is a charming one; she gazes steadily out her hair in braids with a black lace veil over her head and around her shoulders. Engraved by Henry Thomas Ryall 1811 - 1867 engraver to Queen Victoria and based on the painting by William Charles Ross 1794 - 1860. 13 1/2 x 17 1/2". Image printed and laid on to thicker paper; with very slt toning to thicker paper at outer edges o/w very good. Thomas M'Lean unknown
1880réf. 166761880. Four albumen photographs of Sydney all with the Charles Bayliss blind stamp. Charles Bayliss 1850 - 1897 one of Australia's preeminent landscape photographers who worked for years with Merlin and Holtermann before setting up his own shop in Sydney in 1879. He established his studio at 348 George Street; then moved to 335a George Street advertising himself as a photographer of city and country views often with people and making views to be sold individually while also contributing images for albums. He also made remarkable 360 degree panoramas of the city of Sydney around this time. These four images are mounted on a page from an album with handwritten captions in black ink. The first photograph "Sydney Harbor NSW" is a view looking over rooftops toward the harbor and tall masted ships moored and docked; and "Sydney Observatory" looking up toward the building from a lower vantage point; both with handwritten labels laid down and with the C. Bayliss stamp at the lower left. On the verso are "Botanical Gardens Sydney" which shows an entrance gate with an open doorway and view into the garden at the right and "Nepean River NSW" with a view across the river to cliffs on the far side are blind stamped at the lower right "C. Bayliss Photo Copyright". Album page 9 x 11 1/2"; each photograph 7 x 4 1/2". Album page chipped at corners; photographs very good condition. unknown
1870réf. 17145Colchester England: Oldham & Angle Photographers 1870. Photography. Very good overall. Carte de visite showing the Australian General Tom Thumb aka John David Armstrong who made his debut in Melbourne in 1870 and performed world wide. An uncommon image with Tom Thumb standing next to an ornately carved chair and dresser dressed in coat and tails and holding a sheaf of papers. The visit of the American Charles Stratton "Tom Thumb" and his wife Lavinia to Australia in the late 1860s as part of the PT Barnum round the world tour resulted in a huge fascination with little people worldwide. With the title below the photograph. Text on the verso: "this photograph is from the studio of G. A. Graham 8 Mersea Road. With photographers imprint: Oldham & Angle Photographers 11 Queen St. & 8 Mersea Rd. Colchester". Below the stamp: "The higher class photographs only taken by Sydney B. Angle 11 Queen St.". 2 1/2 x 4". Slt faded. Oldham & Angle Photographers unknown
1883réf. 208551883. Very good overall. An interesting hand painted and roneoed ship's musical program. Produced for an Australian ship voyage 29th November 1883 with the proceeds of the performance "devoted to the relief of the suffering of a destitute and invalided steerage passenger". The evenings proceedings are roneographed inside the fold. It lists 15 performances including arrangements for violin and piano; a "letter song: Rip Van Winkle"; other songs a recitation; "Italian boat song"; and a vocal duet. The performers include Mr. & Mrs. Rignold and Signor Steffani. Mr. & Mrs. G. Rignold are recorded as having traveled from Adelaide to Sydney on 29th January 1883 on the ship "Birksgate" and in October 1886 they traveled on the ship "Hanroto" from Hobart to Melbourne with Mr. & Mrs. Lohr all of them described as "Theatrical". Signor Steffani is listed in the Sand's Sydney Directory for 1883 at 129 Phillips St. and in 1895 as a "teacher of singing" at 56 Elizabeth St. ancestry dot com. In fact the performances by "professionals" were most likely money making efforts for the performers who traveled repeatedly between various ports in Australia. One wonders if the money collected actually went to relieve the suffering of "a destitute and invalided steerage passenger" unless that is Mr. Rignold or Mr. Steffani. The R. M. S. John Elder made voyages between London and Australia see article in the Sydney Morning Herald referring to arrival from London on 15 July 1885 just 6 months after this voyage on the NLA website. It seems possible that this voyage was only in Australian waters as the Rignold's were already in Australia in January 1883. The cover of the program is hand painted with a background design of gingko leaves daffodils and a dragon fly with a tropical island view superimposed. On blue coated paper folded with the number 1 penciled at lower left of the front. In some spots the text of the reproduction is faded and it has been re-written by hand in purple ink. Short closed tear bottom edge. Folded folio 8 3/4 x 13 1/2". The paper is speckled with white dots akin to some unusual sort of bleaching perhaps related to the paper making process as it skirts the cover illustration. An unusual survival. unknown

1887réf. 146793Adelaide: E. Spiller Government Printer 1887. Fine. Adelaide E. Spiller Government Printer 1887. Foolscap folio 2 pages plus a very large folding colour map 'General Plan showing Beetaloo Water District .' 1033 × 667 mm. Drop-title; pinholes and tiny notches in the left-hand margin where previously bound now disbound; in fine condition. South Australian Parliamentary Paper Number 110 of 1887; 670 copies of the text and 820 copies of the map were printed. The paper is an interim report for the construction of the Beetaloo Reservoir situated between Napperby and Laura in South Australia's mid-north. The map is something completely different - a real sleeper. The full title is 'General Plan showing Beetaloo Water District as proclaimed Mains laid and authorised Service Reservoirs Tanks and Head-works; also Levels taken along Roads surveyed for Reticulation. 1887'. It covers in great detail a large rectangular area extending to Port Pirie Napperby and Laura in the north; Arthurton and Port Wakefield in the south; Port Broughton Wallaroo and Moonta on the west; and Gladstone Narridy and Koolunga on the east.

The 'Map of Adelaide to face Title' referred to in the list of contents is excised from this copy.

The Adelaide directory listing name occupation and address runs to 47 pages; the Port Adelaide one is seven pages long.

For example the four entries under MANN in Adelaide are 'Joseph carpenter Brown street J. bonnet maker Brown street Elizabeth mangle woman Gouger street His Honour Judge Sturt street'. At the foot of the calendar page for each month there are notes under the headings 'Garden' 'Flower Garden' Fruit Trees' and 'Field' on average about 12 lines each month.

The areas of Gawler Kapunda Kooringa Hill River Estate Clare and surroundings were visited during October and the return journey between Adelaide and Mount Gambier including Strathalbyn Willunga Goolwa Hindmarsh Island Narracoorte and the Drainage Country took place during November' preface. The critical comments on contemporary vine cultivation and wine production make interesting reading. Visits were made to properties and individuals well-known to this day: Davenport Boothby Crompton Auld Mrs Penfold Thomas Elder and Birksgate Thomas Hardie sic and Bankside and 'Clare - Seven Hills and St. Aloysius' College' with numerous 'Notable Wine Growers' in the region mentioned. Many areas significant in the modern vine and wine industry are conspicuously absent in this survey at least in this regard. Ferguson 9210. E. & D.
