Samuel Albert White 1870-1954 ornithologist and conservationist: 'His most arduous and important work as a naturalist occurred when he collaborated with Gregory Mathews on "The Birds of Australia" London 1910-27. To this end White mounted major collecting expeditions often accompanied by his wife. He travelled with camels to Alice Springs and beyond 1913 with a government team to the Musgrave and Everard ranges 1914 and with the South Australian Museum expedition to Cooper Creek 1916; he also went to the Nullarbor Plains 1917-18 with Sir Edgeworth David and Professor Walter Howchin to the Finke River 1921 and in 1922 led the great adventure from Adelaide to Darwin and back using three Dort motor cars supplied and serviced by Adelaide mechanics Cyril and Murray Aunger. White's outstanding achievement lay in completing an ornithological survey of the whole of South Australia and much of the Northern Territory. He was the first European to see several species and regarded the Princess Alexandra parrot as the world's most beautiful bird. A keen conservationist he was a central figure in the declaration of national parks in the State and was a noted spokesman on insects birds and botany' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. In this copy of the book 'A Classified List of the Native Species' pages 204-272 is extensively annotated in ink in what we know to be the hand of Captain S.A. White; there are slight annotations or emphases on numerous other pages. Although his name does not appear anywhere in the volume we purchased this item among many others direct from the White family home 'Weetunga' at Fulham a couple of decades ago. Loosely inserted is a ticket to an 'Exhibition of Wild Flowers' by the Field Naturalists' Section of the Royal Society of SA annotated on the verso by White; undated but 1920s.

1905réf. 140504North Adelaide: The Photographer 1905. Very Good. North Adelaide The Photographer circa 1905. A collection of 87 stereo-microphotographs comprising original gelatin silver photographs with the pairs of images printed as one plate approximately 65 × 120 mm mounted on stiff card approximately 88 × 178 mm in various shades of grey. There are 21 with printed labels captioned 'Wm. P. Dollman John St. N. Adelaide S. Aus.' with numbered manuscript captions the numbers range from 2 to 228; there are 14 with unnumbered manuscript captions on plain labels; the remaining 52 are on plain cards. There are only six duplicates and none of them are an identical matching pair. Minimal signs of age and use; overall in excellent condition. The literature on the photographic history of Australia is singularly quiet on the life and work of William Parmeter Dollman 1846-1908. He is not to be found in Davies and Stanbury or Photohistory SA the pioneering research work of Robert Noye now on the website of the Art Gallery of South Australia. However he was definitely recognised in his own time. His obituary appears in the 'Evening Journal' on 7 October 1908: 'The death is announced from heart failure at the age of 63 of Mr. William Parmeter Dollman of North Adelaide. The deceased gentleman came to South Australia from England in 1853 and for about 30 years had been in the service of the proprietors of "The Register" and its associated journals as a printer and reader. He was sub-overseer of the newsroom for several years but relinquished that position to return to the reading room. Mr. Dollman was held in the highest respect for his integrity and ability and was much esteemed by his intimate friends. He was a member of the microscopical section of the Royal Society and conducted a great deal of microscopical research. He was an authority on the instrument itself a student of electricity and a skilful photographer'. We have traced a number of newspaper references to his photography not least in a list of prize-winners in connection with the 14th annual exhibition of the SA Society of Arts reported in the 'South Australian Register' on Thursday 15 December 1870. 'Six entirely untouched stereoscopic views . by W.P. Dollman' were awarded a cash prize of £1 1s. Given that the other prize-winners in the photography section were Bernard Goode and Townsend Duryea this is high praise indeed. An article by Dollman appeared in the 'Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society' in June 1906: 'A Simple Method of producing Stereo-Photomicrographs sic' 3 pages plus a full-page illustration of one of the stereo-microphotographs present in this collection 'Polyzoa Idmonea radians'. It was 'Read February 21 1906'. Dollman states 'I have made a hobby of stereoscopic photography since 1865 and as well have handled many Microscopes optical work being always an attraction to me. Some twelve or more months ago a friend called my attention to an article on stereo-photomicrography in the "British Journal of Photography Almanac" for 1894 by the then-editor . who therein explained several methods of producing stereograms of microscopic objects. I adopted what I thought the simplest method that of obscuring by a semicircular shield half of the objective in use. A good deal of my apparatus is makeshift - that is diverted from other uses - but is effectual. My optical outfit is the best both in low and high powers condensers etc.'. In addition to the 87 stereo-microphotographs there is a stereophotograph captioned on a plain label 'Photo-microscopic Apparatus' depicting an impressive set-up in Dollman's studio as described in the journal article. This card and two others with hand-written captions on plain labels have the following inscription in ink on the verso: 'Not for competition. Wm. P. Dollman North Adelaide'. Also included with the collection is a slightly damaged unmounted single microphotographic print 74 mm square. 89 items. The Photographer unknown
