1871réf. 23255Sydney: Caxton Steam Machine Printing Office 1871. Wraps. Very good - condition. Scarce biographical booklet the only one on Ristori published in Sydney describing the life of the Italian actress Adelaide Ristori renowned as a tragedienne. Ristori visited Australia with a large Italian entourage for 4 months in 1875 performing in Ballarat Melbourne and Sydney and this booklet was likely published as a promotional piece for the tour. This Australian booklet is not dated although Ferguson's Bibliography of Australia assigns a date ca. 1871. It was translated from Italian into English to be used as an advertising piece for Ristori's 1875 Australia tour. It was published at the Caxton printing office which was functioning under that name until 1876. Adelaide Ristori 1822 - 1906 toured widely including Paris 1855 1856 London Madrid 1857 and the United States 1866. The booklet describes Ristori's American visits: the first tour was mainly in the North the events of the Civil War making a stop in New Orleans impossible. Ristori did eventually visit there reciting pieces at the grand bazaar following which she "had to accept a sumptuous supper which was attended by the leading people of the South headed by the generals Beauregard and Lee". p19. In 1875 after one of her American tours she traveled to Australia where her company's lavish productions of historical drama were performed in Italian. Ristori performed the roles of Medea Mary Stuart and the title role in Elizabeth Queen of England written especially for her by Paolo Giacometti. Such was Ristori's popularity that in Victoria a company working several gold mines on the rich Berry Lead near Allendale north of Ballarat was named Ristori after her. This led to an adjoining town being named Ristori Town. 8vo 29pp. Printed glossy paper wrappers the title printed in black at front wrapper with "Adelaide Ristori" in an elaborate type font. Staplebound. The wrappers slightly dusty the rear wrapper with two small areas where the gloss surface of the wrapper has been rubbed away; small amount of fox spotting to final leaves.

1869réf. 29221London: by the author printed by Richard and John E. Taylor 1840-_ 1869. First edition. A FINE COPY OF GOULD'S MOST IMPORTANT WORK which was issued in 41 parts over 30 years and occupied more than half of his career. In the original publishers' full morocco gilt stamped binding. Provenance: Presented to the Right Reverend Mathew Blagden Hale by the members of the Church of England and other Denominations of Christians of Western Australia Perth October 28th 1876. With large presentation label printed in gold dated in each volume. Mathew Blagden Hale 1811-1895 was the first Bishop of Western Australia and founder of Hale School. Gould started work on the Birds of Australia in 1837 but ceased this effort when he found he did not have enough material to work from in England. He and his family departed for Australia where his wife had two brothers and remained there for 18 months collecting new specimens in New South Wales and Tasmania. John Gilbert was sent to collect specimens from Western Australia Queensland and South Australia. As Gould had introductions to the explorers working at the time he also received contributions of specimens from Sturt and Grey. As a result of this intensive effort 300 new species were claimed by Gould. AUSTRALIAN EXPLORERS' CONTRIBUTION TO GOULD'S BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA In May 1838 Gould his wife Elizabeth John Gilbert their zoological collector one of their sons a nephew & two servants sailed for Australia. On their 27 montsh stay in the Colonies they received assistance from all sides ~ the Colonial Governors and most importantly the early explorers of Australia's interior. In Tasmania the Goulds were looked after by the Governor Sir John Franklin of later Arctic fame and Lady Franklin who were greatly interested in the flora and fauna of the country. Gould and Gilbert explored much of Tasmania and the Bass Strait islands. In February 1839 John Gilbert departed for an eleven month stay in the Swan River Colony. Gilbert made further explorations to the Northern Territory with Ludwig Leichhardt but during Leichhardt's overland expedition in 1845 from Brisbane to Port Essington was tragically killed by aboriginals. Book - Journal of an Overland Expedition in Australia. 1847. In June of 1839 Gould began a journey with Captain Charles Sturt from Adelaide to "the Murray Scrubs" the Mallee returning to Adelaide in July from where he visited Kangaroo Island before returning to Hobart. Books- Two Expeditions into the Interior of Southern Australia. 1833 & Narrative of an Expedition into Central Australia. 1849. Contributions of specimens & information came from all quarters. George French Angas contributed eggs and information about the Yellow- eared Black Cockatoo. Book- South Australia Illustrated one of the great Australian topographical view books. In the course of his hydrographical voyage on the H.M.S. Rattlesnake John MacGillivray contributed information about the Great Palm Cockatoo. Book- Narrative of the Voyage of H.M.S. Rattlesnake commanded by the late Captain Owen Stanley. 1852 Cape York area. T.L. Mitchell surveyor general of New South Wales supplied descriptions of the Leadbeater's Cockatoo commonly known as the "Major Mitchell". Books- Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia.1838 & Journal of an Expedition into the Interior of Tropical Australia.1848. The last voyage of the "Beagle" was in Australian waters from 1837 to 1843. In 1841 Capt. Wickham suffering ill-health was relieved of his command by Lieut. John Lort Stokes Book - Discoveries in Australia; with an account of the Coasts and Rivers explored and surveyed during the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle In the Years 1837- 1843. 1846. The task of the expedition was to survey those parts of the northern coast of Australia not already charted by Flinders or King. Accompanying them on this trip was the young lieutenant George Grey whose duty it was to explore the land in Australia's northwest with a view to establishing a permanent settlement there. Book - Journals of Two Expeditions of Discovery in North-West and Western Australia. 1841 The scientific appendices in volume two of Grey's "Journals" include one on birds by John Gould ~ " Mr. Gould kindly forwarded the following enumeration of the species which have come under his notice as inhabiting that part of the country Western Australia." There follows a 7 pp listing of birds of W.A. "Officers of the Beagle" are credited by Gould's "Handbook to the Birds of Australia" as supplying information on the Rose-breasted Cockatoo. To conclude the history of Australia's inland exploration is inextricably bound up with Gould's masterwork The Birds of Australia. It was an extremely fertile and productive time in Australia ~ Sturt Mitchell & Angas in eastern & southern Australia; Leichhardt MacGillivray Stokes & Grey in the north & west. Reading the letter-press that accompanies each color plate of Gould's Birds bears witness to the combined efforts of Gould and the explorers and settlers of Australia ~ Gould constantly refers to specimens and information on the birds' customs and habitat sent to him by various explorers. Many times this spirit of cooperation overflows into the naming of the bird itself. Gould was the touchstone who pulled together the contributions of Australia's explorers into the foundation work on Australia's ornithology. This combined with Gould's work with Darwin interpreting the specimens from the famous "Beagle" voyages takes Gould's Birds of Australia out of a strictly natural history realm and places it firmly alongside the great scientific discovery expeditions of the 19th century. GOULD'S CONTRIBUTION TO DARWIN'S THEORY OF EVOLUTION Before the Goulds' plans for the work on the Birds of Australia came to fruition John Gould became involved in a co-operative project with another scholar - Charles Darwin. In October 1836 Darwin returned to England from his 5 year circumnavigation on the H.M.S. Beagle on which John Lort Stokes served for 18 years- rising from midshipman in 1825 to commander in 1841. Darwin needed expert help in the description & identification of the preserved birds insects rocks shells & insects for his production of the Zoology of the Voyages of H.M.S. Beagle. Darwin had heard of Gould's books from Thomas Campbell Eyton a naturalist friend from Cambridge days who had bought Gould's Toucan prints. They were expensive he wrote but of good value as he had since been offered a higher price! Through the Zoological Society where Gould had established his reputation as a premier taxidermist Darwin initially made contact with Gould about a special Rhea seen during his travels in Northern Patagonia. This Rhea was an ostrich of dark mottled color with shorter legs than the Common Rhea. Conrad Martens the artist on the Beagle expedition shot one for food and it was cooked and eaten before Darwin realized that it was a less-known species. Fortunately the head neck feathers & skin had been preserved and were sent to the Zoological Society where it was put together and a nearly perfect specimen made for display. Gould classified the Rhea as a new species "Rhea Darwinii". The third volume of the "Zoology of the Voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle" contained fifty bird plates which was advertised by Darwin as "taken from sketches made by Mr. Gould himself and executed on stone by Mrs. Gould". When Gould & Darwin were examining the birds brought from the Galapagos Islands they were fascinated by a group of about thirteen finches of the same species which had curiously different-sized beaks. These modifications occurred on different islands and it was the investigation of this and other scientific data accumulated over a long period that led to Darwin's theories of evolution by adaptation formulated many years later. Frank Sulloway Harvard University 1982 has investigated Gould's part in Darwin's theory of evolution and shows that Gould astutely realised the basic peculiarities of these birds thus paving the way for Darwin's first notes on the "Transmutation of Species". Gould presented descriptions of the Galapagos finches and mockingbird specimens at the Zoological Society in January 1837. However he was unable to finish his work for Darwin. Due to the rush before the Goulds' departure to Australia parts of his manuscript were left unresolved and the work was completed by George Robert Gray of the British Museum. As Gould only published 250 sets of "The Birds of Australia" the number of complete copies which could possibly come on the market is significantly diminished by many factors ~ the work was issued in parts and not all copies were bound which would contribute to their demise over time. Many of the sets that survive are in institutional hands and unlikely to come onto the market. Over the last 20 years at least 10 copies have been "broken up" and sold as plates. This loss of a number of complete sets will certainly lead to a complete and undisturbed Gould attracting a premium by virtue of its increasing scarcity. 8 imperial folio volumes including supplement 2 pp list of subscribers 681 hand-colored lithograph plates including 3 double-page by John and Elizabeth Gould or by Gould and H.C.
