47245Perth WA : G. F. Wilkinson 1881. Broadsheet 255 x 125 mm lithograph-printed in black on white paper; mounted on a section of a nineteenth-century album leaf with some ghosting from the original glue otherwise good. A rare broadsheet apparently issued to accompany Captain Wilkinson's ivory and wood carving exhibit at the Perth International Exhibition in November 1881. Captain Wilkinson's fine carving work in ivory and wood had previously been awarded a bronze medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1876. Several pieces described on the present broadsheet had also formed part of the Colony of Western Australia's exhibit at the Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880-81 where Wilkinson would be awarded a Fourth Order of Merit. In an article previewing the exhibition that appeared in The Herald Fremantle 21 August 1880 Wilkinson's work received high praise: 'Among other exhibits from this colony for the Melbourne Exhibition is a small but beautiful collection of carving and turning in ivory the work of Captain Wilkinson of Perth. The collection consists of a toilet powder puffbox a card case a cover for a prayer book and two carte de visite frames. The work in each of the articles is exquisitely delicate and beautiful and the design and finish faultless and equal to the best work of the kind we have ever seen. The collection bears creditable evidence to the consummate skill and patience of the gentleman who exhibits them. In addition to the above Captain Wilkinson also sends a handsomely designed inlaid photographic Album Cover embracing all the ornamental woods of the colony.' George Faulkner Wilkinson 1838-1884 was born in Horbling Lincolnshire. Accompanied by his wife Elizabeth née Clarke 1844-1929 and two oldest children Mabel Bessie 1865-1918 and Wilfred 1868-1917 he emigrated to Western Australia on the Palestine in August 1868 to oversee work on a sheep station he had purchased at Champion Bay north of Geraldton. In 1870 he settled with his family in Perth. For a number of years he served as a local magistrate and as Transport Officer in the colonial volunteer forces. An accomplished musician he was engaged as organist at the Old St. George's Cathedral in Perth. He and his wife were also keen thespians who along with their young son Wilfred took part in numerous amateur productions in Perth in the 1870s-80s. A personal friend of the Governor Sir Frederick Weld Wilkinson served as secretary of the Weld Club the exclusive gentleman's club in Barrack Street founded in 1871. In 1879 he formed a partnership with Edward Kay Courthope as auctioneers and commission agents. In 1881 he was appointed the first Station Master for the newly completed Perth-Fremantle railway. Wilkinson died suddenly on 4 September 1884 and - as Staff Officer of Volunteers - was accorded a military funeral. He is buried in an unmarked grave in the East Perth Cemetery. unknown

192630220Royal Street New Orleans: The Pelican Bookshop Press 1926. Fabulous caricatures and drawings: "A gallery of Contemporary New Orleans"! Images of bohemian life drawn by Wm. Spratling & Arranged by Wm. Faulkner. Rare First Edition. #145 / 230 copies. Lacking the spine. Otherwise Good condition. Previous owner name on first page and ghost tape. "When Bill Faulkner came to New Orleans he was a skinny little guy three years older than I and was not taken very seriously except by a few of us." Thus the late William Spratling popularly known as the Taxco "Silver King" recalled the mid-1920's when Faulkner a young man fresh from Oxford Mississippi roomed with Spratling in Pirates Alley. "By the time I would be up say at seven Bill would already be out on the little balcony over the garden tapping away on his portable an invariable glass of alcohol-and-water at hand." A result of their friendship was a book depicting "various people who were then engaged . . .with the arts in New Orleans." It was based on firsthand observation. "There were casual parties with wonderful conversation and with plenty of grand or later to be grand people." Some of the names in addition to Sherwood Anderson were Horace Liveright Carl Van Doren Carl Sandberg John Dos Passos Anita Loos and Oliver La Farge. Spratling supplied sharp caricatures of the people and Faulkner contributed succinct captions and a Foreword. It was all "sort of a private joke" but the copies were sold within a week and the original edition is now a collector's item. This book is a charming reminder of exciting days and talented people. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Good Minus/No Dust Jacket. Illus. by Spratling William. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The Pelican Bookshop Press Hardcover
