1838131290London: 'Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed' 1838. Very Good. London 'Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed' 1838. Foolscap folio 21 1 docket pages with numerous tables. Uncut and sewn as issued; outer pages slightly dusty; light foxing throughout; an excellent copy. Great Britain and Ireland Parliamentary Paper Number 685 of 1838. The bulk of this important paper pages 4-19 is given over to 'Nos. 5 6 7. Copy of a Despatch from Governor Sir James Stirling bearing Date 15 October 1835 forwarding a Memorial from the Inhabitants of Western Australia; together with a Copy of the Answer which has been returned thereto'. It is somewhat more than that. Stirling's covering letter explains that 'The signatures attached to this memorial . belong to about one-third of the adult male population of the settlement and represent also about one third of its property in land and capital. The grievances under which the memorialists consider themselves and their fellow colonists to labour are five in number'. The five grievances are well-aired; all signatories are identified; there are five pages of lists of lands reserved for public purposes individuals or 'Assigned to or Reserved for Civil Naval and Military Officers from commencement of the Colony in June 1829 to 6 October 1835'. The second and third lists provide name rank or situation where applicable number of acres district assigned or reserved - and when and remarks. A sample record for an individual is that pertaining to Robert Ramsay for whom an 'uncertain' number of acres was reserved at Plantagenet on 12 April 1831: 'Master of brig "Britannia". On south shore of Princes Royal Harbour reserved 18 months to form a whaling establishment and then resumed on failure of conditions'. The last four pages in this section contain Lord Glenelg's thoughts on the matter as of 7 March 1837. The limited information relating to the fledgling colony of South Australia occupies only pages 20 and 21. Ferguson 2511. <p>Provenance: the signature 'C.A.S. Hawker' is written in pencil at the head of the first page. Charles Allan Seymour Hawker 1894-1938 politician and pastoralist: his grandfather George Charles Hawker arrived in Adelaide with his brother Charles in September 1840. They settled on land at Bungaree near Clare in December 1841; C.A.S. Hawker he was born there. He was seriously wounded on several occasions at the Western Front losing one eye and 'his legs were in surgical irons to the end of his life'. He was a minister in the Lyons Government from 1932 until he 'was killed on 25 October 1938 when the aircraft "Kyeema" crashed into Mount Dandenong in Victoria. His untimely death was sharply felt. He had been an outstanding and respected figure in the Federal parliament whom some of his own party would have supported as prime minister. John Curtin the Opposition leader believed he had been on the threshold of great achievements' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. 'Ordered, by the House of Commons, to be Printed' unknown

1890212411890. Archive of illustrated and photographic postcards documenting the popular image of the American cowgirl in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Western visual culture. Working in Cultural / Representational Mode the material traces how women participating in rodeo equestrian performance and frontier-themed entertainment were presented to mass audiences during a period when gender conventions in the United States remained heavily tied to domestic ideals. The postcards illustrate popular fascination with female riders engaged in activities associated with masculine frontier labor and spectacle including trick riding roping horse handling and armed performance. The archive also provides insight into the commercialization of the American West through souvenir imagery touring exhibitions rodeos and romanticized frontier iconography circulated through postcard publishing during the first half of the twentieth century.<br /> Collection consists of 19 postcards dating from approximately the 1890s through the 1950s including primarily colored lithograph and chromolithograph postcards alongside several later colored real photo postcards. Most measure approximately 3.5 x 5.25 inches. Images depict cowgirls mounted on horseback using lassoes pistols and whips in staged action scenes including bucking galloping roping demonstrations and parade formations. Earlier cards portray women riders wearing skirts or dresses while mounted reflecting transitional equestrian fashions prior to the widespread normalization of riding trousers for women during the 1920s. One postcard depicts a "Grand Entry" scene featuring numerous mounted cowboys and cowgirls carrying national flags from various countries suggesting an international rodeo or exhibition setting. Another early color postcard shows a man and woman posed together on horseback in cowboy attire. A postcard postmarked 1951 depicts a cowgirl tending to her horse and bears the handwritten verso inscription: "How we long for you in Fort Worth horses and more horses cowgirls too" addressed to Alabama. Several additional cards contain handwritten correspondence and postal markings dated between 1906 and 1908.<br /> The archive documents the enduring cultural construction of the cowgirl as both frontier laborer and commercial entertainment figure during the height of Western Americana imagery in American popular culture. The postcards capture changing attitudes toward women's athleticism mobility and public performance while preserving highly stylized depictions disseminated through inexpensive mass-produced print media. Particularly notable is the tension visible between conventional feminine presentation and physically demanding equestrian activity especially in the earlier cards depicting women riding aggressively while still dressed in skirts and formal attire. Minor edgewear scattered markings and light handling wear to some cards; overall very good condition. A cohesive visual archive of cowgirl imagery and the gendered mythology of the American West across more than half a century of postcard production. unknown
