18804504264Sydney: Turner & Henderson 1880. In remarkable original condition. Duodecimo pp. 22 ii; original wrappers preserved in a folding cloth box. <p><p>The rare catalogue of the Society's inaugural exhibition held at the Garden Palace which had been purpose-built for the Sydney International Exhibition in 1879. An impressive two hundred and twenty oils watercolours and drawings were hung: Mrs. Alfred Williams' painting Ophelia the most expensive at £75 was highly praised by the Bulletin art critic at the time. Her identification as Mrs. Florence E. Williams gives more understanding of the high price as she had exhibited under that version of her name at the Royal Academy since her teens before coming to Australia. </p> <p>Her inclusion was significant for as Joan Kerr has noted "Florence's paintings seem unique for Australia at the time when domestic genre paintings are almost unknown." Florence was a founding member of the Art Society and had been a friend and pupil of and much influenced by Millais. As one of the very few figure paintings in the exhibition Ophelia gained most attention but she also had four other oils in the exhibition. An earlier painting not in this exhibition of a crimson Rosella set against lush vegetation and Mount Wellington was sold for a record $90000 in 2015.</p> <p>As well the catalogue notes W. C. Piguenit's Sydney Harbour from North Shore priced at £52.10.0 in modern times it reached $198000 at Melbourne auction. The catalogue also records works by Collingridge Halstead and Short as well as seven New Zealand watercolours by J C Hoyte the President of the Society. The list of "Working Members" names 80 artists and the Honorary and subscribing Members 47 notably Sir Henry Parkes.</p> <p>From 1871 the New South Wales Academy of Art had held annual exhibitions and had urged the establishment of a Public Art Gallery. This had as much to do with inter colonial rivalry - Melbourne had opened its Gallery in 1861 - as it did about fine art. Once a permanent home for the collection had been found the New South Wales Academy of Art dissolved in 1880 and it was acknowledged that an "artists' society" was needed: a society of professional artists rather than the more inclusive Academy. Artists led by Arthur and George Collingridge sought to establish an Australian school of painting and the first exhibition of The Art Society of New South Wales was held in December 1880 following its formation in July of that year. </p> <p>This catalogue notes that the Society was established for the "promotion and preservation of the Fine Arts in Sydney" and to "enable professional artists to exhibit their works advantageously." Further aims of the Society were lectures on art and a sketching club. The Life Class already established will "give rise to a greater variety in the works."</p> <p>This catalogue is a rare surviving record of the Art Society's first exhibition and succinctly captures the impressive depth of Australian Art in the late nineteenth century.</p> </p> .

186813813London: Longman et. al. 1868. 5 of 8 volumes royal 8vo; text in Latin; ex-MHS with usual markings some pages slightly browned hinges cracked in vol. III extremities and spines rubbed some spine ends chipped and cracked covers slightly scuffed else good in contemporary quarter brown morocco gilt over black paper-covered boards or dark blue cloth. The first three volumes contain extracts from the historical works of Gerald du Barry a Welsh noble and churchman of the twelfth century. He attempted to establish the independence of Wales by restoring the see of St. David's to its ancient primacy. Volume I contains the De Rebus a se gestis an autobiography; Invectionum libelli a reply to calumnies circulated against him; Symbolum electorum which contains his letters and poetry; and other letters and poems. Volume II contains the Gemma Ecclesiastica a manual for the parish priests of Wales which presents a true and vivid picture of the Welsh clergy in the 13th century. Volume III contains the first four books of the Invectionum libelli a merciless attack on Giraldus' enemies; the De Menevensi ecclesia dialogus written for Stephen Langton on the Welsh clergy; and the Vita St. David. Volume V contains the Topographia Hibernica and the Expugnatio Hibernica. The former is the result of Giraldus' visits to Ireland; his account of Irish history is unreliable but the work is valuable for his observations of natural history. He records his own acute observations on the animals of Ireland in addition to recounting traditional medieval legends on them. The Expugnatio is poetical book of prophesy. Volume VI contains the Itinerarium Kambriae et Descriptio Kambriae a description of Wales and its people. Longman, [et. al.] unknown

From the Preface to the Twenty-Second Edition-<br /> <br /> "No book published by or for the Latter-day Saints has run through so many editions or been sold so extensively as the Hymn Book of which this is the twenty-second edition. The demand for it continues unabated and since the publication of the Latter-day Saints' Psalmody which contains music for every hymn in this book a new interest has been added to it and its usefulness enhanced. In this edition will be found a metrical index which the book formerly did not contain. This feature will be especially valuable to choirs. A few hymns have also been added to the end of the volume. That these additions may prove acceptable to the public and that the book may continue its cheering and consoling mission indefinitely is the desire of The Publishers. Salt Lake City Utah. June 1897.

1883213731883. Albumen cabinet card with original photograph of the Australian station now located in the township called Barooga. Photograph on card with printed border the title written in pencil on verso. A small station house is visible at the right side of the image with a long wooden fence bordering the river. <br /> <br /> The area which later became Boomanoomana Station was first settled in the early 1800’s by Colonel Henry Gwynne who arrived there in the footsteps of Charles Sturt. By 1863 the station got its name when William Hay acquired 80000 acres. The property extended from Corowa in the east to Tuppal Station in the west and was quite wooded therefore suitable for cattle. But Hay wanted to establish a sheep station so he sold off his cattle cleared the trees at great effort and fenced the land purchasing merino sheep from established stations. Hay built a homestead which still stands; it was owned by Sir David Hay 1916 - 2009 head of Aboriginal Affairs Administrator of Papua New Guinea and Ambassador to the UN who restored the grounds and buildings to original condition. <br /> 3 1/2 x 6 1/2" image on card 4 1/2 x 6 1/2". Cabinet card not recorded in Trove.<br /> with <br /> American Merino Rams recorded in the American Merino Register selected by W. G. Markham Avon NY USA from the best American Flocks. Shipped from San Francisco California June 1883. Consignee: Alfred Hay Esq. Boomanoomana Mulwala New South Wales Australia. <br /> <br /> W. G. Markham was heavily involved in the exportation of merinos to Australia. He convinced Australian wool growers that introducing American merinos into the Australia flock would increase their weight and this was very successful. The purchaser here is Alfred Hay 1846 - 1918 the son of William Hay who established Boomanoomana Station. Alfred Hay became sole owner of Boomanoomana Station in 1886 after the dissolution of the partnership between his father himself and brother. Boomanoomana Station at the time consisted of 33000 acres of freehold and about 5000 acres of Crown lands.<br /> <br /> Markham was mentioned in many articles about Australian wool growing. In the "Pacific Rural Press" Volume 36 Number 24 15 December 1888 it reads: "We imagine it was this large purchase of sheep by Mr. Samuel McCaughey which started that genial globetrotter in the sheep interest Mr. W. G. Markham of Western New York on a pleasure trip to Australia last summer. Mr. Markham made us a call in California on his way out but did not disclose his business. We imagine that he went to see if there were any more sheep buyers like Mr. McCaughey in Australia and turn their attention to the flock of Western New York as well as to those of the Green Mountain State. It might not be amiss for some of our California breeders to Blip over to the Island continent just to see how things are over there." Samuel McCaughey of Melbourne was reputed to be the owner of a million sheep and one of the most influential wool producers in Australia. <br /> <br /> The pedigree published in New York 1883. 17 pp text with a fold-out pedigree of Ranzin 464.
