'Gravée par Tardieu l'Ainé . Dessiné par Poirson . Ecrit par Beaublé'. Original folds as issued; some minor uneven tanning; in very good condition. An uncommon chart of the Pacific Ocean and Australia showing magnetic variation and dip drawing on observations made in the course of Pacific voyages after 1775 most notably Cook's third voyage. It is most likely from a duodecimo edition of Buffon's 'Histoire naturelle générale et particulière' around the end of the eighteenth century 'PL. III. Tome XVI' and 'Page 58' are printed in the top margin. It is based on a larger chart in four sheets attributed to Jean-Charles de Borda. The engraver Tardieu is one of half a dozen members of the family working as engravers at the period one of whom P.A.F. Tardieu would engrave the charts published in the official account of the Baudin voyage. F. Dufart unknown
rif. 147425Adelaide: Government Printer 1989. Hardcover. Fine. Adelaide Government Printer 1989 facsimile edition/ 1814. Large quarto two volumes of text plus the elephant folio atlas containing 18 charts and 10 plates. Half dark blue calf and cream cloth; essentially a fine set in the custom-made base of the dark red felt-covered wooden storage box and fitted perspex lid the base a little sunned and lightly worn around the extremities the lid a little scuffed. The publisher's printed cardboard box is also present. A superb production limited to only 500 numbered sets this is number 261. The storage box was designed with a matching two-door lid opening at the centre and attached to the base with piano hinges. About a third of the edition was issued in these boxes as advertised. Apparently the successful tender was paid in full soon after the job began and the box-maker was last seen heading for the hills overseas with the money and a big smile! The problem was 'solved' by securing clear perspex lids which fitted snugly over the custom-made bases. Government Printer hardcover

1925rif. 140245Adelaide: 'Printed for the Publishers by Hunkin Ellis & King' 1925. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide 'Printed for the Publishers by Hunkin Ellis & King' 1925 to 1928. Tabloid 48 monthly issues bound as one volume approximately 12 pages per issue each with the large pictorial masthead and illustrated advertisements. Contemporary quarter cloth and marbled papered boards lightly rubbed with slight wear to the extremities; acidic paper uniformly tanned; minimal signs of age and use; in excellent condition. The editorial in Volume X Number 12 31 December 1928 states that 'It would be a pity for this independent non-party and outspoken monthly to go out and we hope such an event will not happen but after carrying on the paper for ten years we feel with advancing years that we cannot longer bear the strain of the extra work involved in its publication. Perhaps we may be able to sell it .'. Apparently they were unable to do so and this proved to be the last issue of the journal. From Volume IX Number 3 March 1927 the last words in the subtitle were changed from 'Progressive Farmers' to 'Progressive People'. However a far more radical transformation had occurred earlier foreshadowed in the second issue in this run: the front cover proclaims 'Special this issue -- The Proposed Aboriginal State'. Genders had been appointed to the general committee of the Aborigines' Friends' Association in early 1924 but he established the Aborigines' Protection League in November 1926 with Dr Herbert Basedow as president and himself as honorary secretary to promote the cause of an 'Australian Black State' in the Northern Territory. The final issue records that the APL had been 'largely instrumental in awakening a world-wide interest in the position of the Australian aboriginals and as the official organ of the League "Daylight" may justly claim to have assisted in this much overdue movement'. 'Contested Destinies: Aboriginal Advocacy in South Australia's Interwar Years' by Robert Foster 'Aboriginal History' Volume 42 2018 available online provides much detail on Genders 'Daylight' the Australian Black State and the APL.

1929rif. 142560Adelaide: Harry Carew Nott 1929. Fine. Adelaide Harry Carew Nott 1929. A commercial photograph album oblong quarto 230 × 318 mm comprising 4 card leaves cord-bound in overlapping card covers with 21 gelatin silver photographs 84 × 136 mm or the reverse loosely attached with photocorners on both sides of the leaves and the inside surface of the covers; all photographs are captioned in white ink on the mount. Cord-bound commercial album stamped in blind 'Portraiture'; covers slightly marked and a little worn at the corners; the contents are in fine condition the last photograph is creased and cracked at one corner. A lengthy article related to this event appeared in 'The Advertiser' Thursday 23 May 1929: 'The Victorian section of the Australian Aero Club will conduct an aerial pageant at the Essendon Aerodrome near Melbourne on Saturday afternoon. The programme of events includes the Aerial Derby for which over 20 machines have been entered. Of these about eight will represent New South Wales and eight Victoria. South Australia will also have a strong representation. Seven planes will leave the Parafield Aerodrome for Melbourne this morning at 9.30 if the weather permits. The following planes will comprise the formation: D.H. 60 Gipsy Moth G-AUIB D.H. Moth V-HUAM D.H. Moth V-EUAR D.H. Gipsy Moth G-AUIV D.H. Gipsy Moth G-AUKO Avro Avian G-AUSY and probably the De Havilland "Old Gold" passenger machine. The first three are Aero Club planes and the others are privately owned. Flying-Officer J.A. Mollison Aero Club instructor will be leader of the formation and Mr. C.A. Hewitt will be deputy-leader. Others making the flight to Melbourne are Messrs. N. Birks J.A. Jukes A.H. Wilkins E.B. Lawson P. Knapman F. Wellington S. Hamilton L. Wood J. Churchill Smith secretary of Aero Club and Dr. H.C. Nott. The flight to Essendon will be made via Nhill Victoria. Friday will be spent by the airmen in tuning up engines for the races on the following day'. The first eight photographs were taken at Parafield Aerodrome in outer-suburban Adelaide with portraits of Nott and Wood identified. These are followed by two at Nhill Aerodrome 'Mollison refuelling' and 'Lawson'; two at Ararat Aerodrome 'on Racecourse'; and eight taken at Rockbank 28 kms west of Melbourne. These are captioned 'Mollison taking off in "1B"'; 'Hewitt'; 'Nott in "A5"'; Lawson Mollison Hewitt & Wellington éxamining "A17"'; 'Hewitt Mollison Lawson & Wellington'; 'Nott Mollison Lawson & Wellington'; and 'Mollison Lawson & Hewitt'. The last one taken from the air is captioned 'Crashed Aero at Nhill'. The Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre website records that on 23 May 1929 'J.A. Mollison arrived from Adelaide with 6 aircraft. One crash-landed at old Dimboola road aerodrome instead of landing at New site at Halpin Park'. The pilot was possibly Lin Wood. Harry Carew Nott unknown

A large map printed on paper and mounted on linen as issued external dimensions 955 × 740 mm with freehold boundaries printed in blue and an inset locality plan 200 × 180 mm. Later manuscript addenda include red ink outlines on some blocks with acreages in blue ink; 'Sold' written in black ink on the most northerly blocks; a group of blocks close to St Kilda outlined and hatched in orange for 'ICI' Imperial Chemical Industries began construction of solar evaporation lagoons in the area in 1935; and some additional blocks added in ink close to Two Wells. The map has been folded into eight panels and the paper has flaked off in places particularly along the folds resulting in minor loss to the printed surface; a few light stains and minor signs of use and age; overall a decent copy of an item we find no record of in Trove or elsewhere. On offer was approximately 23000 acres of freehold land and 13000 acres of leasehold land. The 'Narracoorte Herald' Tuesday 24 October 1905 contains a report on the sale which took place the previous Wednesday: 'the well-known Buckland Park Estate which has been subdivided . is being offered to the public in blocks of from 40 to 1800 acres. There was a splendid attendance landowners and pastoralists from all parts of the state being present. Competition was however very dull and only nine sic lots found purchasers at the auction sale. The following lots were sold: Block 5 186 acres £3 2s. 0d. per acre; block 1 118 acres 30s. per acre; block 53 60 acres £7 per acre; block 54 57 acres £7 per acre; block 55 40 acres £7 per acre; block 56 40 acres £7 per acre; block 83 196 acres with leasehold given in £1 Is. per acre; block 84 105 acres with leasehold given in £4 per acre. The blocks offered on Wednesday comprised only the poorer quality country. The remainder of the estate will be sold privately'. A successful conclusion to that sale apparently did not take place for another five years. The South Australian pastoralists' who's who 'Our Pastoral Industry' Adelaide 1910 records that the pioneering pastoralist George Brooks 1849-1926 and his son Edmund Albert Brooks purchased 'the picturesque estate at Buckland Park comprising 20000 acres . situated about 25 miles north of Adelaide' from Leonard Browne in 1910 the property is featured under 'The Brownes of Moorak Buckland Park and Booboorowie' pages 137-156.

Great Britain and Ireland Parliamentary Paper Number 223 of 1840. The full title runs to 23 lines enumerating ten separate returns. 'Contains valuable information with respect to many South Australian subjects' Ferguson but the perennial value of this paper is the headline one which runs to eleven pages. Its complete title is 'A Return of the Quantity of Land in South Australia sold by the Colonization Commissioners since the 5th day of May 1835:- Of the Amount of Money paid for the same in London and the Names of the Purchasers:- Of the Amount of Money paid to Agents in England and Scotland as Commission on Sales effected through their Agency specifying the Name of the Agent and the Name of the Purchaser on whose Purchase Commission has been charged'.

They settled on land at Bungaree near Clare in December 1841; C.A.S. Hawker he was born there. He was seriously wounded on several occasions at the Western Front losing one eye and 'his legs were in surgical irons to the end of his life'. He was a minister in the Lyons Government from 1932 until he 'was killed on 25 October 1938 when the aircraft "Kyeema" crashed into Mount Dandenong in Victoria. His untimely death was sharply felt. He had been an outstanding and respected figure in the Federal parliament whom some of his own party would have supported as prime minister.

A lithograph on tinted paper artificial plate mark size 305 × 233 mm; paper size 430 × 318 mm mounted on slightly larger thick card; the caption 'Edward John Eyre' is printed in the margin below the image. Minimal foxing to the margins; slight marks around the edges of the paper a legacy of prior framing easily matted out; a superb portrait in excellent condition. 'Edward John Eyre 1815-1901 explorer and administrator emigrated to New South Wales from England when he was seventeen. Settling in Adelaide after pioneering expeditions with sheep and cattle he made several attempts to find an overland stock route from the city to the west. In January 1840 he learned that a committee was organising an expedition to find a way west. Eyre persuaded them to refocus the expedition on the north agreeing to pay for half of this bid to 'discover the inland of Australia'. Many gruelling months into the trip one of his party was murdered and the rest disappeared. Eyre and his Aboriginal colleague Wylie staggered into Albany more than a year after they had set out. In 1844 after having served as Protector of Aborigines in South Australia Eyre 'served as lieutenant governor of New Zealand 1846-53 and governor of St Vincent 1854-60. Appointed governor of Jamaica in 1864 he was recalled in 1866 after his suppression of an Afro-Jamaican uprising with over 400 executions' History Trust of South Australia. Returning to England he found the intelligentsia divided on his actions; court proceedings were three times brought against him but dismissed. In the early 1870s the government paid all his legal costs and awarded him a governor's pension; he lived in seclusion near Tavistock Devon for the rest of his life' National Portrait Gallery of Australia. The NPGA has a similar portrait a less-accomplished engraving captioned 'Edward John Eyre. Late Governor of Jamaica. Engraved by J. Brown from a Carte de Visite by H. Hering. London Richard Bentley 1867'. The State Library of South Australia has a contemporary photograph of the lithograph; the online version of the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' reproduces it in its entry on Eyre. An example of the carte de visite by Henry Hering 157 Regent Street London on which all these versions are based is available online in The Caribbean Photo Archive reference 4892686740 where it is catalogued as 'Published by Marion & Co London UK circa 1860'.

Every endeavour is to be made to conciliate and win the goodwill of such natives as may be encountered during the journey; and you are to urge upon each individual of the party the great desirability of impressing the aborigines favourably towards Europeans by keeping good faith with them and by not offending against their natural habits and prejudices'. The northerly route in fact commenced about 40 miles east of Streaky Bay; the return route from their furthest north was basically south-east around the bottom of Lake Gairdner to Port Augusta. The bulk of the paper comprises various progress reports from Hack during the course of the expedition from June to September accompanied by the two maps plus two lengthy summary reports after the event. The second paper comprises a report from Harris the surveyor on the expedition and a detailed route map of the entire area covered. It includes the tracks of Warburton who also conducted 'his first notable journey in 1857 to the dry country south and west of Lake Gairdner. Hack did not follow Warburton's tracks but rather supplemented and extended his examinations' Feeken Feeken and Spate. South Australian Parliamentary Papers Number 156 and Number 189 of 1857-58.
