1936réf. 125803Adelaide: D. Darian Smith Commercial & Aerial Photography 1936. Very Good. Adelaide D. Darian Smith Commercial & Aerial Photography 1936. A panoramic gelatin silver photograph 128 × 322 mm unmounted as issued with the ink-stamp of the photographer on the verso. The print has a slight longitudinal curl and a few light creases near the right-hand edge; overall in excellent condition. The photograph was taken as the landscaping in the front of the building was being undertaken; the horse-drawn roller seems an anachronism against the backdrop of the impressive Art Deco facade. The State Library of South Australia has in its collection a raking shot of the building taken from the north-east showing the completed landscaping SLSA B 7265. 'Centennial Hall built to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Colony later State of South Australia and to house the 1936 Centennial Empire Exhibition was opened on 20 March 1936. It was considered to be a significant historical landmark and was one of the few remaining examples of 1930s Art Deco architecture in Adelaide. However the building developed "concrete cancer" and was closed at the end of the 2005 Royal Show because it was unsafe. Demolition of Centennial Hall commenced on Wednesday 18 July 2007' Wikipedia. A huge poster advertising the Centennial Exhibition is visible in this image. D. Darian Smith, Commercial & Aerial Photography unknown
réf. 110709Image size 229 × 286 mm on the original mount 252 × 304 mm with the caption in ink below the image behind a mat with interior quarter-round corners maximum visible image size 223 × 282 mm framed and glazed with a gilt fillet behind the glass. The caption is not visible when the mat is in position; the bottom left-hand corner of the mount and photograph has been broken away and repaired with a 75 mm diagonal crack across that corner visible but unobtrusive; there is a tiny amount of surface loss to the shirt of the player in the centre of the front row; overall a very appealing period piece in an early but not contemporary mat and frame. Furreedpore Faridpur formerly in East Bengal India now Bangladesh has important Australian connections exemplified by this photograph. Silas Mead 1834-1909 a Baptist minister emigrated to South Australia in July 1861; 'he preached at chapels in Adelaide and North Adelaide. Regular services began at White's Rooms and within a month a Baptist Church was constituted with twenty-six members. Inspired by Mead's enthusiastic leadership the congregation decided to build a large church in Flinders Street; it was opened on 19 May 1863. When its cost of £7000 was cleared by 1864 he established at Furreedpore India the first constituted Australian Baptist Foreign Mission and later helped to found similar societies in other Australian colonies'. His son Dr Cecil Silas Mead 1866-1940 followed closely in his footsteps; after graduating from the University of Adelaide in 1891 'he served as a medical missionary in eastern Bengal for twenty-nine years returned to Adelaide to teach anatomy in 1923-39 and died in June 1940' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Dr Mead is second from the right in the top seated row; we have no reason to doubt that this photograph was once in his possession and for all intents and purposes it is unique. A copy of 'Doctor Sahib: The Story of Dr Cecil Silas Mead' by Elva Schroeder 2013 is offered together with the photograph. 2 items. unknown
réf. 100633A gelatin silver photograph 218 × 294 mm laid down as issued on the original printed mount of the photographer 'E. Ziegler 40 Elizabeth St Norwood' Ernest Charles Victor Ziegler active 1879-1925. The photograph and mount are in superb condition behind glass in the original frame. 'The Advertiser' 11 December 1931 sets the scene for these Inter-Collegiate matches: 'Today the annual cricket match between St Peter's and Prince Alfred Colleges will begin at the Adelaide Oval. Last year the game was played at Prince Alfred College the first time in the history of the matches first played in 1878 that the Adelaide Oval was not available. The match is one of the most important cricket events outside first-class matches in South Australia although in recent years it has failed to sic the importance and drawing power of inter-collegiate matches played before the war. Many famous cricketers have graduated from the college teams'. The 1910 SPSC team - victorious to the tune of 232 runs - was no exception; sitting next to each other are C.E. Pellew and Vice-Captain A.G. Moyes. 'Nip' Pellew played for South Australia 1913-14 to 1928-29 the AIF Touring XI 1919 to 1919-20 and Australia ten Tests in 1920-21. Johnny Moyes a 'promising young cricketer . had represented 1912-15 South Australia making a century on debut been chosen 1914 for Australia in a tour cancelled due to World War I against South Africa and played for Victoria in 1920. In Sydney he achieved one of the highest individual scores in grade cricket when he made 218 runs in 83 minutes for the Gordon District Cricket Club in 1922. he served as a New South Wales selector 1926-27 and wanted Sir Donald Bradman to play for the State' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. For many years he worked as a journalist including fifteen years as sporting editor of 'The Sun' and he published thirteen books on cricket. In 1949 he began 'broadcasting sporting sessions for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. In 1950-51 he covered his first Test series against England. In 1955 he received a full-time contract. As a cricket broadcaster he became a household name in Australia and New Zealand in the 1950s and early 1960s' ADB. unknown
1899réf. 29277London: Reinhold Thiele and Co. 66 Chancery Lane 1899. London Reinhold Thiele and Co. 66 Chancery Lane possibly 1899. A vintage albumen paper photograph 250 × 195 mm laid down on the printed mount of the photographer. The photograph has slight surface silverfish damage not affecting the figure; original mount slightly foxed; recently matted ready for framing visible image size 335 × 280 mm. This full-length portrait features Howell with a cricket ball grasped firmly in his right hand standing alongside a wicket in the practice nets at Lord's in 1899. Displayed in a window cut into the rear of the modern mount is his bold ink surname signature. Howell toured England in 1899 1902 and 1905: he took all 10 for 28 against Surrey in his first match in England in 1899. A rare and impressive item. Reinhold Thiele and Co., 66 Chancery Lane unknown
réf. 146970Near fine. A vintage gelatin silver photograph 125 × 100 mm; in near-fine condition. Holmes is viewed seated in front of a weatherboard structure with basket-making implements and three baskets in front of her and a partially-completed basket in her hands. The image is vignetted in a decorative leaf shape. The South Australian Museum holds an example of this photograph captioned 'Jenny Holmes. Middleton 15.VII.11'. Vernon Ragless Padman was born at Middleton on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula in 1891. He appears to have been a keen amateur photographer and took numerous photographs of the local Ngarrindjeri people including at Point McLeay now known as Raukkan on the eastern shore of Lake Alexandrina see South Australian Museum AA245/1. unknown
réf. 146980Good. A vintage gelatin silver photograph 88 × 140 mm printed as a postcard. Light stain to the centre-top area; some imperfections to the emulsion in the bottom portion of the image; nevertheless in good condition. The photograph is titled in the image 'Pt Macleay sic Natives SA'. Vernon Ragless Padman was born at Middleton on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula in 1891. He appears to have been a keen amateur photographer and took numerous photographs of the local Ngarrindjeri people including at Point McLeay now known as Raukkan on the southern shore of Lake Alexandrina see South Australian Museum AA245/1. unknown
réf. 146979Very Good. A vintage gelatin silver photograph 140 × 88 mm printed as a postcard. Light surface indentations and a few minor signs of handling sent through the post; in very good condition. The unidentified woman is depicted standing in front of a rudimentary shelter of canvas and blankets with a young child on her back. The postcard is stamped and postmarked 'Goolwa S.A. MR 4 10' and the proximity of Goolwa to the Point McLeay makes this the most likely location. The card is addressed simply to 'Miss Dorothy Train Paskeville' and the text begins: 'Dear Dot This is a picture of some of sic ladys we went to visit last week dont you think it is a pretty baby . love from Jessie'. Vernon Ragless Padman was born at Middleton on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula in 1891.

réf. 125137South Australia: Unknown Photographer. South Australia Unknown Photographer late nineteenth century. An albumen paper photograph 104 × 158 mm a little creased and marked with expert conservation to the bottom left-hand corner; trifling light surface marks; overall in decent condition. Not least of the fascinating details in this rare image is the paddle-wheeler visible offshore on the left-hand side. Unknown Photographer unknown
1913réf. 134415Adelaide: Unknown Photographer 1913. Adelaide Unknown Photographer 1913. A gelatin silver photograph image size 152 × 206 mm on the original cardboard mount external dimensions 188 × 240 mm. Slight silvering-out and minor surface blemishes visible in a raking light; small chip near the top right-hand corner; mount slightly bowed unevenly trimmed around the edges slightly bumped at the corners with minor surface blemishes; overall a very presentable item. It is highly likely the name of the photographer was on the portion of the bottom margin that has been cut away. The SS 'South Africa' laden with 4486 cases of explosives caught fire while moored at the North Arm Port Adelaide on the afternoon of 21 August 1910. With much of the crew abandoning ship it was left largely to the firefighters police and boatmen of Port Adelaide to extinguish the fire before the dynamite in the hold exploded. The men in this photograph are almost certainly the crew of South Australia Marine Board Motor Boats 'President' and 'Controller' who assisted with firefighting efforts. All five wear the Sea Gallantry Medal and three also wear the special medal presented by the citizens of Port Adelaide. While official gallantry medals had previously been awarded to the fire crews and police the boat crews were not acknowledged until 1913. The presentation of the medals at Government House Adelaide where this photograph was likely taken is described in the Adelaide 'Register' for 16 May 1913 albeit misidentifying the medal being presented. 'His Excellency the Governor Sir Day Bosanquet . said: "It is with great pleasure that I today present the King's police medals to the volunteers of Port Adelaide who in August 1910 went out to the burning vessel 'South Africa' and undeterred by the fact that she was laden with dynamite and gelignite and remained at their post until the fire was extinguished and all danger of the explosion which might have occurred at any moment was over. Such deeds thrill us with admiration and pride. The names of G.W. Justice coxswain. G.W. Krueger driver and Charles McArtney deckhand of the launch 'President' and Thomas S. Hughes coxswain and R. Justice driver of the launch 'Controller' will be ever remembered and go down to posterity as those of heroes who put aside all fear of personal danger and thought only of the performance of their duty." Sir Day pinned the medals on the coats of the recipients who were wearing the bronze medals and gold watches presented to them by the people of Port Adelaide in recognition of their heroic conduct. "I think your's sic was a piece of magnificent bravery" he added "and I am sorry your names were not sent in earlier. I congratulate each of you on having received the medal though late in the day and wish you success in your future careers"'. We have found no other example of this image.

réf. 147219Very Good. A vintage gelatin silver photograph 141 × 88 mm printed as a postcard with '9 11' printed in the top right-hand corner. Light crease across the top quarter; tiny chips to the emulsion on the corners; message in ink on the verso but the card is not postally used; in very good condition. The message is from Jim: 'Dear Miss Dorothy Just a PC to let you see I didn't forget you when I had my photo taken. I saw Miss Steward in the Harbour on Saturday'. We attribute this photograph to Vernon Ragless Padman not least because the item was recently purchased with a small collection of identified Padman images which almost certainly came originally from the photographer or his estate. He was born at Middleton on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula in 1891. He appears to have been a keen amateur photographer and took numerous photographs of the local Ngarrindjeri people including at Point McLeay now known as Raukkan on the southern shore of Lake Alexandrina see South Australian Museum AA245/1. The men in this image possibly father and son according to a note with the collection the location and the occasion have not been identified - perhaps something of the nature of the Coronation Day celebrations in Victor Harbor on 22 June 1911 - but the older man appears to be dressed as a rustic and his companion as an Indigenous youth. unknown
1910réf. 137365Near Kingston: Unidentified Photographer 1910. Very Good. Near Kingston Unidentified Photographer circa 1910s. A gelatin silver photograph 207 × 307 mm with one short tear to the top edge expertly sealed; in excellent condition. '2343 Near Kingston River Murray' is written in red pencil on the verso. The State Library of South Australia has a poor-quality reproduction of this image in its Kingston-on-Murray Collection B 31442 dated 'Approximately 1870'. This is clearly incorrect as PS 'Marion' wasn't built until 1897. [Unidentified Photographer unknown

A gelatin silver photograph 220 × 310 mm with two tears to the top edge expertly sealed; in excellent condition. '2790 Pennington Park' is written in red pencil on the verso; ''& Cathedral' has been added later in lead pencil.

A gelatin silver photograph 143 × 209 mm on the original captioned mount now matted visible image size 223 × 267 mm and behind glass in a period-style wooden frame external dimensions 319 × 354 mm. The frame is a little scuffed; the photograph and mount are in fine condition. A wonderful image of a parochial cricket team in the field: it should even appeal to the collector of photographs who has no interest at all in cricket. N. Netter, Photo., 45 & 47 Arcade unknown
1924réf. 123086Gawler: Marchant's Studio 1924. Fine. Gawler Marchant's Studio circa 1924. An original gelatin silver photograph behind glass in the original blackwood frame with gilt fillet and wood-veneer mat visible image size approximately 238 × 288 mm external dimensions approximately 480 × 580 mm. The photograph is in fine condition; the frame is in excellent condition albeit slightly scuffed and marked. A small Marchant's Studio paper label is mounted on the mat; a considerably larger label mounted on the verso states it has been 'Established Sixty Years'. Davis and Stanbury 'The Mechanical Eye in Australia' suggest this occurred in 1864. 'The game of hockey was brought to Australia by British Naval officers stationed around the country in the late 1800s. By 1900 according to Hockey Australia the game was being played in private girls' schools. Being a non-contact team sport it was considered ideal for women. The first women's hockey association was formed in New South Wales in 1908. Two years later women's clubs from Tasmania Victoria and South Australia were competing alongside clubs from New South Wales at an interstate tournament at Rushcutter's Bay and from this tournament came the establishment of the Australian Women's Hockey Association in July 1910 - fifteen years before the Australian Hockey Association AHA was formed in 1925. State hockey associations for men had been formed in South Australia 1903; Victoria and New South Wales 1906; Western Australia 1908; and Queensland 1920s. This division in the administration of men's and women's hockey continued in subsequent years. The Australian Women's Hockey Association affiliated with the All England Women's Hockey Association and joined the International Federation of Women's Hockey IFWH in 1927' Australian Women's Archives Project online. Accordingly this item is tolerably early as well as being a fine piece of portraiture. Marchant's Studio unknown
1870réf. 112789Adelaide: The Adelaide Photographic Company 1870. Adelaide The Adelaide Photographic Company circa 1870. An albumen paper photograph 94 × 61 mm mounted as issued on the printed card 104 × 63 mm of The Adelaide Photographic Company. A few tiny surface scrapes to the bottom millimetre or so of the photograph and slight surface loss to the plain section of the mount adjacent to it but overall the condition is excellent. There is an example of the same image in the State Library of NSW a gift from a family member John Howard Johnson dated January 1870. The 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' has this to say about Angas: 'although his prominence in the foundation of South Australia has been somewhat exaggerated . he deserves full credit for the capital and settlers that he introduced into the new colony'. He emigrated with his family in 1851 and spent the rest of his life in the colony. The Adelaide Photographic Company unknown

'Sweet Adelaide ' is inscribed in the negative the three-digit reference number is cropped but it appears to be 442 or 443; 'Poonindie native mission school' is written in pencil on the verso. The Art Gallery of South Australia and the State Library of Victoria also have an example of this print. There are several differences between all these three examples: they are different enlargements; the AGSA example does not have the photographer's credit in the negative; the SLV example does but the negative is printed in reverse.

réf. 127212Very Good. An albumen paper photograph 159 × 205 mm; tiny quarter-round indentations to the bottom corners a legacy of having been tipped in on a mount at some stage; slight fading around the edges; now unmounted and in excellent condition. The photograph shows the eastern side of a fairly quiet King William Street; the clockless tower of the Town Hall has a prominent position to the right of the image.

réf. 127215Very Good. An albumen paper photograph 158 × 208 mm mounted on card a little tanned; in excellent condition. The photographer's credit and reference number 'Sweet Adelaide 526' is scratched in the negative. The photograph was taken from on top of the Kent Town Brewery looking west along Rundle Street across the parklands taking in all to the right north as far as the old Royal Adelaide Hospital and the dome of the Palm House in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.

réf. 115751George Taplin 1831-1879 missionary and teacher began his work with the Ngarrindjeri in April 1859; the 'site he chose for a settlement on the shores of Lake Alexandrina was a traditional camping ground called Raukkan The Ancient Way known to Europeans as Point McLeay. Keenly interested in Ngarrindjeri culture and society he learned their language used it in preaching and translated and published Bible tracts. He published invaluable anthropological studies which were much superior to contemporary work on South Australian Aboriginals. Despite his sympathy with the people and their traditions Taplin adhered to the contemporary view that Christianity and Europeanization should be adopted and Ngarrindjeri civilization abandoned; as a result he assisted in undermining their government and social structure further weakened traditional discipline and morale within the confederacy and provoked strong opposition from conservative tribal members. But they had been dispossessed and persecuted before his arrival and by helping them become literate and numerate and to acquire trades he enabled them to survive and flourish briefly in European society. Today hundreds of their descendants remain in various districts of Australia; their durability can largely be attributed to Taplin. He was a compassionate Christian and a courageous fighter. Exhausted he died of heart disease at Raukkan on 24 June 1879 survived by his wife and six children. He was buried in the village cemetery' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The photograph 163 × 220 mm shows the newly-installed headstone which was 'Erected By The Aborigines'. It is on the original mount captioned along the bottom margin 'S.W. Sweet Photo. Flinders Street Adelaide'. The acidic mount is discoloured lightly stained and unevenly trimmed; the top right-hand corner is broken away taking with it a small triangular piece of the photograph approximately 10 × 45 mm of the sky; the sepia-toned print is a little speckled confined mainly to the left and right margins but overall it is a very arresting image. The only example recorded in Trove in the State Library of SA appears to be of better quality but it is not for sale and more importantly the photographer is not identified. This significant fact may now be added to the record.

réf. 105467Very Good. Image size approximately 325 × 263 mm on the original ruled mount visible surface 430 × 365 mm framed and glazed. The photograph is beginning to lift slightly at two corners; mount slightly soiled at one corner; frame a little scuffed and marked; overall in excellent condition. On the reverse is the paper label of 'S. Solomon Photographer 51 Rundle Street Adelaide'. The address the original of which was illustrated and illuminated by W.G.P. Joyner gives an indication of the scale and importance of Dunn's enterprises: '. by your perseverance energy and strict integrity you have overcome all obstacles and today you have the satisfaction of leaving to your successors the largest milling and wheat business in the Southern Hemisphere'. An article in the 'South Australian Chronicle' for 8 June 1889 describes the circumstances of the presentation of the address and also describes the original in detail. 'The address is the work of Mr. Joyner and is one of his most artistic productions . The words and the signatures which number 105 being those of most of the leading employés are situated in the centre while all around are well executed paintings of a number of the mills belonging to the firm taken from photographs. In the left-hand corner there is a painting of the site of the original mill at Hay Valley . On the top are Mr. Dunn's residence at Mount Barker 'The Laurels' and the Dunn Memorial Church which that gentleman presented to the residents of Mount Barker while the right hand corner is occupied by a view of the firm's stores and offices in Freeman-street Adelaide now Gawler Place. On the left side of the address there are views of the mills at Wilmington the old mill at Port Adelaide and at Mount Barker and two representations of the new Roller Eclipse mill at Port Adelaide. On the other side the Nairne mill takes precedence while underneath it is the gem of the collection the works at Port Pirie including some of the shipping of the port with the railway in front. The Port Augusta and Bridgewater mills are represented and an excellent portrait of Mr. Dunn is also included in the set.' A number of the source photographs are to be found in a Dunn family photograph album now held by the State Library of South Australia PRG 1485/3. Dunn's entry in the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' records that 'he retired in 1889 and died at Mount Barker on 13 October 1894. The firm's eleven mills five with the most modern machinery then represented an investment of £150000. They annually had an export trade of some 20000 tons of flour to Britain Western Australia New South Wales and South Africa some 400 employees and a payment to farmers of £500000'. unknown
réf. 131324Fine. One page quarto folded once across the middle; in fine condition. The letter accompanied an inscribed and signed copy of Thiele's book 'The Little Desert' Rigby 1975. It is dated 3 April 1997 and was sent from King Scrub via Dayboro in Queensland where the Thieles lived after leaving Adelaide. He is responding to a letter from his old Adelaide friend Alan Brissenden 1932-2020 academic noted scholar of Shakespeare writer and critic who had recently visited the Little Desert in Victoria's Wimmera district and in the first paragraph he writes about his love for the area. He encloses a photocopy of a recent newspaper article still present on the practice of modern plagiarism which leads him to a critical discussion of the actions of Helen Demidenko / Darville referencing her recent fortnightly columns in the 'Courier Mail' 'Her first piece was unbelievably awful. A few days later it was revealed that - yet again - she had pinched much of it verbatim from an American "professor" on the Internet'. Apparently plagiarism 'is actually taught as a technique at some universities . Incredible! We obviously live in "the new morality"'. He finishes on a positive note still busy with publishers 'although I think it is about time I hung up my keyboard and retired to a hammock under the palm trees. Now I'll let you get on with your own work so that you can finish a book on Shakespeare with a bit of post-modern intertextualisation'. unknown
