1900143581Adelaide: Government Printer 1900. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Adelaide Government Printer circa 1900. An oblong quarto photograph album approximately 250 × 320 mm containing 22 original vintage gelatin silver photographs each approximately 200 × 280 mm tipped in on the recto and verso of 11 card leaves captioned in ink on the mount. Cord-bound textured papered boards; minimal signs of age and handling; essentially in fine condition. 'South Australia' is written in ink on the front pastedown and the individual captions tend to be informative and site-specific: 'Aquaduct at the Gorge on the Torrens River'; 'View from Mount Barker'; 'Orchard & Vineyard Roseworthy College Farm'; 'Head of Gillen on the River Murray'; and 'Vineyard at Magill' are a few examples along with numerous identified bridges viaducts reservoirs and rivers. <p>This level of detail has enable us to locate thanks to Trove an article in an Adelaide newspaper 'The Express and Telegraph' Wednesday 3 October 1906 headed 'Advertising the State. South Australian Photographs in London'. The description of many of the photographs on display at the Bank of Adelaide branch in London 'The whole of these photographs were supplied by Mr. Vaughan the photo-lithographer' matches many of those in this album leading us to our attribution. <p>The article records that 'The Government recognise the value of photographs . and they have been putting the cameras in the Lands Department to good use lately for the purpose of advertising the State. A large number of pictures and slides for lantern use have been sent to the office of the Agent-General and every mail now takes a small addition to the stock. The photographs are used for advertising the State in various ways'. <p>It is perhaps unsurprising that the extraordinary portrait of the 'Port Lincoln natives - last of tribe' is not mentioned in the report. The State Library of South Australia has two examples of this print in its collection B 512 and B77443 - the latter in poor condition dated 'Approximately 1897' and '1897' respectively.

He portrayed friendly and wise gentlemen in many films of the 1930s and 1940s. Among his roles were Sir Joseph Banks in Mutiny on the Bounty 1935 and Mr. Brownlow in Oliver Twist 1948. Harry Stephenson Garraway was born to British parents in Grenada British West Indies and educated in England. He started acting in his twenties. He appeared on British and American stages and made his Broadway debut in 1901 playing the messenger in A Message from Mars. In the following decades he performed in more than 30 Broadway plays. Stephenson made his film debut in 1917 and appeared in a few silent films but made his mark mostly as an elderly man in sound films. Between 1931 and 1932 he appeared in the successful Broadway play Cynara with over 200 performances. He came to Hollywood for the film version of Cynara starring Ronald Colman and with Stephenson reprising his role of John Tring. In the same year he played the tycoon C.B. Gaerste in Red-Headed Woman Leslie Howard's father Rufus Collier in The Animal Kingdom and Doctor Alliot in A Bill of Divorcement. In 1933 he appeared as Mr. Laurence in Little Women. He specialized in portraying wise dignified and friendly British gentlemen in supporting roles. He appeared overall in 90 films from 1917 to 1951. He often played historical figures like Sir Joseph Banks in the Oscar-winning adventure film Mutiny on the Bounty 1935 and Florimond Claude Comte de Mercy-Argenteau in Marie Antoinette 1938. Stephenson worked with film star Errol Flynn in the films Captain Blood The Charge of the Light Brigade The Prince and the Pauper and The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex often as Flynn's paternal friend and superior. He portrayed Sir Thomas Lancing in Tarzan Finds a Son! in 1939 and Sir Guy Henderson in Tarzan and the Amazons in 1945. He seldom played dark figures; among the exceptions was the snobbish Mr. Bryant in Mr. Lucky in 1943. Stephenson also appeared in literary adaptions for example as the friendly lawyer Havisham in Little Lord Fauntleroy 1936 and as Mr. Brownlow in David Lean's film adaptation of Oliver Twist 1948. He made his last film in 1949 but appeared in two television series in 1951 before the end of his career. In 1950 after finishing his role of Cardinal Gaspar de Quiroga in the play That Lady Stephenson retired from the stage.

18899003Springfield IL: O. H. Oldboyd 1889. Original Wrappers. Very Good binding. Octavo. 2 14 pp. illus. First edition thus. As issued in printed wrappers with an engraved portrait of Lincoln on the front wrapper and several in-text views within. Light rubbing and separation of the wrappers starting at the spine but generally and exceptionally crisp clean copy. <br /> <br /> A notable speech before the newly formed Washingtonian Society a temperance society that took a different approach for the period attempting to reform individuals rather than reform all of society leaning not on religious rhetoric but on practical benefits of being sober—an approach that agreed with Lincoln. His address follows suit and in sweeping form he equates the temperance revolution for personal freedom from alcohol to the American Revolution for political freedom: "Happy day when all appetites controlled all poisons subdued all matter subjected mind all conquering mind shall live and move the monarch of the world. Glorious consummation! Hail fall of Fury! Reign of Reason all hail!" p. 13. Originally issued by the Society in 1882 the first edition is rare in commerce and with a scant 2 dozen institutional holdings. Even this 1889 reprint is quite uncommon with fewer than 20 institutions holding copies a surprisingly small number for an address by a president particularly one of Lincoln's stature. O. H.
