réf. 137300Fine. Octavo 4 pages a bifolium on the crested notepaper of Parliament House Melbourne in the original envelope marked 'Personal' and addressed in Deakin's hand to 'The Honourable Sir J. Langdon Bonython C.M.G. Carclew Adelaide' contemporary Melbourne postmark; stamp removed. Letter folded in half for posting; apart from a couple of ink blotches in fine condition; envelope with flap detached and with some pencilling on the verso. Deakin was sworn in as Prime Minister on 2 June 1909 after being elected leader of the Liberal Party which had recently formed from the 'Fusion' of his Protectionist Party with the Anti-Socialist Party. Sir Langdon Bonython a fellow Protectionist had sat with Deakin in the inaugural Parliament of Australia as a member for the Division of South Australia later for the Division of Barker. In this letter Deakin reflects on the difficulties confronted by his new government including preselections in South Australia but is generally optimistic about its progress. However his government would soon suffer a resounding defeat at the hands of Andrew Fisher's Labor Party in the federal election of 13 April 1910. The letter reads in full 'Aug 11.09. My dear Sir Langdon Cockburn's very interesting description of the prose of our press delegates in England though possibly a little coloured by his natural disgust at their doctrines is obviously & substantially true. It defines their attitude of old & new always the same as is proper in a party that does not change. He very clearly perceives their policy of playing to both sides & sees when they have obtained encouragement. Your allusion to the Division of Wakefield is obscure. I have not been asked to assist & have not assisted in any way in the selection of a candidate. He has been chosen entirely on your side & by your associations. When Paddy Glynn got in he found the whole matter so far advanced in making the selection in the constituency that nothing could be done. Up to date I have not been asked to endorse Foster though no doubt we shall have to do so if required. You must be aware of this though you poke fun at me. The time has not yet come for getting into touch with the constituencies. We have not discovered whom we can rely upon or at all events how far. We are making good progress here & in NSW but the other states are still out of hand or rather none have been in order. It is a long task to attempt to get an effective control of Australia. We are gradually getting it within our immediate spheres of influence. But this is written at the table during the debate to which I have to listen with one ear & half my attention. Kind regards. Yours very truly Alfred Deakin'. Deakin's entry in the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' gives some important context to these final months of his political career. 'In May 1909 he agreed to the fusion of anti-socialists Liberal-Protectionists and Forrest's "corner" group. A bewildered Fisher was curtly dismissed. Close friends still believed in Deakin's integrity but to many others his actions seemed nothing but a naked grab for power a base move to regain office at any price by a man who thought he was indispensable. The political confusion produced some of the most dramatic scenes in Federal parliamentary history. Lyne - never a friend of Deakin and now a foe - denounced his former leader as a "Judas" a charge which the vindictive Billy Hughes believed slandered the disciple. Deakin was sworn in for the third and last time as prime minister on 2 June 1909. The Fusion government given its short span of life and the few points of agreement between the uniting parties was remarkably active . The Fusion government entered the election of April 1910 confident of victory but in the event it was routed. In a heavy poll Labor gained absolute majorities in both the House and Senate. Deakin who campaigned on a mainly negative anti-Labor platform barely escaped defeat in Ballarat. Only a handful of his personal followers survived.' Sir John Langdon Bonython 1848-1939 was an important South Australian editor newspaper proprietor philanthropist and parliamentarian. 'He became a follower of Alfred Deakin who wanted him to give his full time to politics; their friendship survived a sharp disagreement over the composition of Deakin's ministry of July 1905 and his disappointment that Deakin's recommendation of him for a K.C.M.G. in 1908 was not accepted. Bonython did not contest the 1906 election although the Labor Party proposed to grant him and other Protectionists immunity from opposition; he suspected that his party would soon be out of power and travelling to Melbourne for parliamentary sittings was becoming irksome' ADB. The Cockburn referred to at the beginning of the letter is presumably Sir John Alexander Cockburn 1850-1929 former Premier of South Australia delegate to the Constitutional Conventions unofficial ambassador in Britain and friend of Sir Langdon's ADB. unknown
réf. 115301Very Good. Small octavo one page on the mourning stationery of his home on the Isle of Wight Farringford House Tennyson had lost one of his younger sons in action and would lose another before the end of the war. Folded twice for posting; a few tiny marks; in excellent condition. The letter is brief enough to quote in full: 'Dear Lady Glenconner I am deeply distressed not only for myself but also for all of you. Of course one cannot but be very sorry for both of them. I have spoken to L. fully and he takes a really serious view now I hope; and has promised not to see her during the war. L. ought to protect her against herself. I cannot write more for I feel the thing too acutely. It was kind in you to write to me. Ever yours Tennyson'. Lionel and Clarissa married in March 1918; she was still only 21 years old at the time. They had three children before their divorce in 1928. Each was to remarry and redivorce again. Hallam Tennyson 1852-1928 eldest son of the poet laureate Alfred later 1st Baron 'had initially sought the governorship of South Australia but hesitated when it was offered to him in January 1899: Tennyson was influenced by speculation that after Federation the post might be subordinated to that of the governor-general or even abolished. He arrived in Adelaide in April and proved popular: the press and the people saw him as hardworking competent dignified and frugal. Appointed acting governor-general on 4 July 1902 after Lord Hopetoun's unexpected resignation Tennyson was confirmed in this position in January 1903 at his own request for one year only' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. unknown
réf. 107917The five men four in butcher's striped aprons and one woman are standing on the unsealed road in front of the shop next to a horse-drawn delivery cart sign-written with the name 'A. Mount'. The vintage gelatin silver photograph image size 107 × 152 mm is on the original blind-stamped mount of 'McNeills 184 Rundle St Adelaide' 207 × 246 mm. Pencilled on the verso is '1907 A. Mount Woodside'; although we have been unable to verify these details most places in the Adelaide Hills in the Edwardian era probably did look like this. However what is decidedly most rare about this scene is that one of the butchers is of Indian or Afghan descent. unknown

188921 pages. Plus a large fold-out colour map measuring approximately 8.5 x 23 inches (22 x 59cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. David Lindsay was an Australian explorer and surveyor and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. This is an abridged account of his important journey across Australia in 1885-6, in which he passed through a large tract of previously unexplored country in the Northern Territory of South Australia, west of the Queensland boundary. This valuable and absorbing account describes his expedition of the Finke River and excursion to the western boundary of Queensland, also includes an extensive chronological report of his journey from Dalhousie to the Gulf of Carpentaria. Accompanied by a spectacular fold-out colour map illustrating the explorations and surveys in the northern territories of South Australia. The map stretches from the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north to the Truer or Macumba in the south, showing Lindsay's track, survey lines, and telegraph lines. Also included is an impressive Vocabulary list, containing some important native words with their English translations.
réf. 146921The collection comprises: 1 A ring-bound folder containing nearly 100 designs for cap and blazer badges including 40 with mounted examples of the finished embroidered patches. The designs are full-scale pencil drawings some coloured and most with typed or manuscript details of the colours designs and materials e.g. 'Royal Blue Cap. Badge worked all gold'. Badges for schools predominate with some of the wealthier private schools calling for multiple designs. For instance St Peters College has different designs for: Colours Junior Second First and First for prefects tennis cap regular and for prefects house and school prefects rowing cap regular and for prefects and old scholars. Also well represented are sporting clubs mainly baseball and cricket including the South Australian Cricket Association as well as a small number of youth clubs fraternities and other societies. The mount leaves are pulled at the punched holes and a little stained and torn; one leaf is defective; overall an impressive and extraordinary collection. 2 Approximately 300 hand-cut stencils paper or card used to transfer designs to the fabric where they would then be worked over by skilled embroiderers using free-motion or 'Irish' embroidery machines. The stencils include many designs not in the sample book including company logos and many other school and association badges. Of particular note are several relating to the Australian military forces in the Second World War including two for a Royal Australian Air Force pilot's wings one pricked for pouncing one a cut stencil one for what appears to be a torpedoman's shoulder patch and one for the Red Cross Transport Service. Some are dated with the earliest noted being for the West Torrens Cricket Club South Australian Cricket Association premiers 1932-33; the latest date noted is 1940. Companies represented include General Motors-Holden GM-H Amscol Mastakraft itself Howells Electric Motors Amalgamated Airways and the Simson's Electric Light Company Cricket Club.

réf. 98784An attractive calligraphic testimonial visible image size 390 × 260 mm in blue ink on a two-tone blue background within a decorative gilt border was signed by nine senior members of the congregation and presented to the outgoing Honorary Secretary. It is surmounted by a large ornamental scroll a mass of wattle blossom and a large vignette illustration of a paddle steamer towing a heavily-laden barge on the River Murray. The copious amounts of dirty smoke belching forth are starkly realistic - an unexpected bonus on an otherwise routine production. The work is signed 'Niehuus & Lucy Adelaide'; we are unsure when they commenced work together but the partnership was dissolved four months after this commission was completed. Minimal foxing and light surface blemishes do not detract from this charming period piece recently mounted and matted ready for framing. unknown

réf. 133136No Place: No Publisher. Very Good. No Place No Publisher No Date but circa 1860s. 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'.

réf. 131661Very Good. A single leaf octavo printed recto only slightly marked with a marginal crease to a top corner; two light horizontal creases where folded for posting; in very good condition. The invitation headed '9th L.H.O.C.A.' 9th Light Horse Old Comrades Association invites members to give a hearty welcome to the old commanding officer Colonel William Henry Scott 1881-1960 who 'will be in Adelaide for a few days this month on a visit to his son'. The date for the event is not given but we suggest some time in the 1920s as Scott 'rose to brigadier in 1929' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Darley writes presumably as president of the association that 'it will be quite informal come along in your working clothes or anyhow you like and you need not get your hair cut for the occasion. If you clean your boots be sure to use NUGGET. Refreshments liquid only will be provided'. The ADB provides the answer to the unasked question: 'Scott contributed items to the "Bulletin" under the pseudonym of "Nugget" an ironic nickname considering his great height'.
