A sepia-toned postcard-format gelatin silver photograph 139 × 88 mm with the caption inkstamped at the head of the recto and the verso printed for use as a postcard. Tiny crease to the bottom left-hand corner-tip; in excellent condition.

The Art Gallery of SA dates that image '1903-04'. We have no hesitation in attributing this uncredited image and vintage print to him.

1907122957Adelaide: English & Soward Architects Cowra Chambers Grenfell Street 1907. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide English & Soward Architects Cowra Chambers Grenfell Street 1907. A series of 13 architectural drawings 11 of them hand-coloured and several rough pencilled sketches overall visible image size 540 × 975 mm matted and behind glass in a later wooden frame external dimensions 755 × 1190 mm. The thick cartridge paper has a short 28 mm closed tear to the left-hand edge a semi-circular onlay of opaque drafting cloth over a large chip to the top edge covering most of the word 'Committee' and a few pinholes top and bottom; trifling signs of handing; overall a very attractive item in excellent condition. The main drawings in black ink and up to six different watercolours comprise the Front Elevation West South Elevation Ground Plan Back Elevation and Cellar; there are also four sections and a number of minor details. It has been signed by the contractor A.E. Kauffmann and dated 8 July 1907 and witnessed by Adelaide architect George Klewitz Soward who has also added elsewhere 'English & Soward Architects Cowra Chambers Grenfell Street Adelaide'. The fine building still stands in Tanunda today serving the same purpose for which it was constructed. <p>The Tanunda Club dates back to the last months of 1891 when 'there was a move to initiate discussion on how the local townspeople could best achieve convivial society as well as promote the products of the region. From its very beginning the club was a social centre for people from all walks of life where its members could relax partake of refreshments and enjoy discussions in the company of others. By May 1906 the Club's finances were in a very healthy state. It was perhaps with a sense of pride in the Club's achievements that Mr Adolph Schulz addressed a general meeting and mentioned that "according to the financial standing of the Club we might build a substantial front and proposed that a general meeting be called to test the feeling of the members". There was a spirit of prediction in Schulz's words. By October rough sketches for the proposed edifice had been prepared and were quickly approved - the grand new Clubhouse was underway! In January 1907 tenders for the proposed building were accepted after Mr Juncken had explained every detail of the work from the materials to be used to the dimension of the rooms. By December 1907 new furnishings for the rooms were being purchased. <p>The building itself was to be a credit not only to the Club but to the whole town of Tanunda. It was of fairly simple rectangular design topped by a roof with Dutch gables. The MacDonnell Street facade was plain yet superb. A steeply pitched verandah ran the entire length. It had turned wooden posts beautiful lacework at the timber joins and an impressive low fence and magnificently worked wrought-iron gateway. Above this verandah running like a ribbon down the facade was a rendered parapet. It had gables at either end and a central rounded feature with the words CLUBHOUSE inserted in large gold letters. The building's substantial size prominent position and fine construction made it one of Tanunda's outstanding features. It could be looked upon as an enormous asset. In one sense it changed the face of both the Club and its importance in the community' Rob Linn: 'The Tanunda Club - a Centenary History' 1991.

1868142860Adelaide: Townsend Duryea 1868. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide Townsend Duryea 1868. A large quarto album approximately 415 × 365 mm containing 18 albumen paper portraits each approximately 280 × 210 mm mounted on the rectos of cloth-hinged thick card leaves interleaved with guards plus one leaf of letterpress see below. Contemporary half roan and cloth lettered and tooled in gilt with a binder's ticket on the front pastedown 'Bound at the "Register" Office Grenfell Street Adelaide'; covers slightly worn; leaves slightly cockled; one guard missing; most photographs lightly discoloured near the right-hand edge; a few light spots of foxing mainly to the guards and the versos of the mounts and some minor signs of age and handling but overall in excellent condition. The subjects include some of the most prominent figures in early colonial South Australia. In order of appearance the portraits depict John Morphett President Henry Ayers Charles Hervey Bagot John Henry Barrow Charles George Everard John Baker William Wedd Tuxford Thomas Elder William Peacock William Morgan Thomas Hogarth John Tuthill Bagot Thomas English Henry Mildred John Crozier William Parkin John Hodgkiss and Emanuel Solomon. <p>The 'South Australian Advertiser' for 20 August 1868 records that: 'Mr. Duryea is preparing a parliamentary group containing the members of both Houses of the Legislature which promises to be an effective affair. The members of the Council have already given him sittings and a fine series of portraits is the result'. In the subsequent months Duryea exhibited the photographs at his King William Street studio but most accounts refer to them assembled as a group around Morphett. This photo-collage with the portraits all heavily cropped is almost certainly the basis for a contemporary carte de visite published by Duryea see SLSA B 9258. However most of the images in this album appear to be rare or even unrecorded in their uncropped form; indeed the only other examples we located were of Henry Ayers and Charles Hervey Bagot. It is also rare to find photographs of early colonists at all let alone of this size quality and quantity. <p>The guard leaves for the portraits of Morphett Hogarth J.T. Bagot and Mildred contain manuscript biographical details in a single hand. Although we have not identified the writer it is likely to be one of the eighteen MLCs as he refers to 'our chamber' in the entry for Morphett. The portrait of C.H. Bagot is accompanied by a similar short biography but this time in letterpress and misspelling his middle name as 'Harvey'. C.H. Bagot English Mildred Crozier Parkin and Solomon are identified in another hand on the mounts beneath the image. Townsend Duryea] hardcover

He was born at Oostzaan in the Netherlands and started his career as a merchant but soon became undoubtedly the most daring and notorious Dutch pirate of his day especially active around 1620. For three years he hijacked ships in the English Channel the Mediterranean the Caribbean and off the coasts of Africa America and the West-Indies. The present story was first printed in 1659 and ran through more than a dozen editions to 1803 all with the main text set in a textura gothic type in the later editions a sign that it was a popular book for a lower-class audience. All editions are quite rare but especially the 17th-century ones thus a very rare edition of one of the most famous pirates.With the bookplate of Buijnsters-Smets on the inside of the front wrapper.

With a large woodcut illustration of a Dutch merchant ship on the title page 3 woodcut illustrations in the text including a repeat of the woodcut on the title page and a large decorated woodcut initial. 6 42 pp. Very rare 17th-century Dutch edition of the earliest published biography devoted entirely to a pirate and one of the most vivid narratives of maritime freebooting to emerge from the Dutch Golden Age.Claes Gerritszoon Compaen 1587-1660 began respectably as a merchant before turning privateer and ultimately pirate. Around 1620 he abandoned the constraints of licensed privateering despite holding a commission from the States-General and the Prince of Orange and embarked upon an independent career of sea-robbery. For three years he hijacked ships in the English Channel the Mediterranean the Caribbean and off the coasts of Africa America and the West-Indies acquiring a formidable reputation. Contemporary chroniclers record that Spaniards Portuguese French and English alike feared his attacks. Officially branded a Zee-Roover and Schelm he nevertheless achieved legendary status and remarkably was eventually pardoned and allowed to return to Oostzaan where he lived out his days as a local celebrity.First published in 1659 the present work proved an immediate success and ran through numerous editions into the early 19th century to 1803. All editions are now scarce the 17th-century editions 1659 1662 1675 1688 in particular.

1919108343Adelaide 1919. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide circa 1919. A custom-made photograph album 190 × 200 mm containing 6 card leaves with an original gelatin silver photograph mounted on both sides of each leaf with interleaved tissue-guards. Each photograph is approximately 135 × 95 mm. Half leather and cloth lettered in full in gilt on the front cover with 'The Eucalypts' in gilt on the spine; leather discoloured and moderately rubbed with slight wear in a few areas; some tiny paint spots near the head of the front cover; tissue-guards a little foxed and offset; marginal silvering-out to five prints; overall in very good condition. All but the first portrait is signed and only the last one contains an additional inscription the date '10.1.19'. The State Library of South Australia has another example of this album enabling us to confirm the identities where the handwriting was unclear. Ministers of religion lawyers doctors and architects predominate. The subjects are Reverend A.H. Gifford possibly A.E. Gifford; Benjamin Benny 1869-1935 senator and solicitor; George McEwin 1873-1945 lawyer and philanthropist; Edward Erskine Cleland 1869-1943 barrister and judge; Alfred McBain Bonython 1865-1954 architect; Sir James Wallace Sandford 1879-1958 merchant and politician; Reverend Wilfred Harris Unitarian minister returned to England in 1918; Dr Herbert Frank Shorney 1878-1933 opthalmologist; Sir Thomas John Mellis Napier 1882-1976 later a SA Supreme Court judge; Harold Reid; Edward Warner Benham 1872-1948 lawyer and academic; and Francis Hedley Counsell 1864-1933 architect. <p>The subtitle is a misquote from 'Among the Sandhills' by Adela Florence Nicolson née Cory 1865-1904 an English poet who wrote under the pseudonym Laurence Hope 'The scented orange bushes check the breeze Granting in tribute many waxen stars And aromatic Eucalyptus trees Defy the sun with grey-green scimitars'. We have saved the best until the end: we purchased this item decades ago and have postponed cataloguing it innumerable times not knowing who 'The Eucalypts' were. We have finally solved the puzzle by the simple expedient of spending untold hours on it. We eventually discovered the lengthy biographical sketch of Alfred Bonython compiled by Giles Walkley for the University of SA's database on architects accessible online. Among many other interesting details he records that 'At the age of 42 Bonython became the father of a fourth daughter . Determinedly reviving his literary activities he joined both at their outset in 1910 Lady Symon's Poetry Society and the "liberal Christian" discussion group The Eucalypts Club . SRG 252'. hardcover
