1920166841920. Announcement card for royal visit to Australia of Prince Edward who famously abdicated the throne in 1936 to marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson. The public reception for this visit to Sydney was held at 10:30 am Friday 18th June 1920; the reaction to his visit is described by Edward in his autobiography: "The ‘touching mania' one of the most remarkable phenomena connected with my travels took the form of a mass impulse to prod some part of the Prince of Wales. Whenever I entered a crowd it closed around me like an octopus. I can still hear the shrill excited cry ‘I touched him!' If I were out of reach then a blow to my head with a folded newspaper appeared to satisfy the impulse". With floral border flag crests battleship. Color printed card 9 1/2 x 6 3/4".

1820201111820. An intriguing item. The image seems to be inspired by the anecdote related in James Boswell's book "Life of Johnson" where he describes Dr. Samuel Johnson in 1793 hopping around the room to explain to people how a kangaroo moved. The hand-penned caption below entitles it "Shade of a Dandy" the caricature poking fun of the ridiculousness of the gentleman with his frizzy hairstyle pointed nose and chin holding a monocle. He stands in the corner of a room and the shadow he casts on the wall looks like a kangaroo with a suggestion of a halter. The room has flower-decorated floor covering a border around the wall which also has a framed landscape hanging and a window with drapes behind him. Kangaroos have held a long fascination for the Northern hemisphere particularly after their arrival on English shores with Joseph Banks fresh from Cook's first voyage in 1769. The man's cut of coat and slim trousers suggest an early 19th century style. 7x10" on paper 8 x 10 3/8". With some later faintly bizarre coloring on the figure of the man in either pastel or crayon. Mounted on a larger sheet of blue paper perhaps from an early album. Blue backing sheet with a closed tear otherwise in very good condition. unknown

171023256Bordeaux: James l'Aveugle 1710. First edition. An important imaginary voyage to Australia: a 'landmark' in the development of the French voyage novel Atkinson in its original full calf decorated binding. <br /> <br /> A Robinsonade account which predates Defoe. It is complete with the ship wreck exploration conflict with local inhabitants stand off and final rescue by a passing ship. It is a reasonable representation of the Australian continent and its challenges along with a realistic estimation of the importance of mining and irrigation to Australia that "foreshadow what has actually come to pass in modern Australia." Friederich <br /> <br /> The title page is falsely dated 1710. In his deep analyses of Tyssot de Patot and his publications Aubrey Rosenberg has concluded that this 1710 printing with the armillary sphere device on the title page with the base pointing to the left is indeed the first edition and was published between 1714 and 1718. "Robinson Crusoe" first appeared in 1719.<br /> <br /> 12mo viii 508pp. Bound in the original full brown calf binding gilt spine in 6 compartments raised bands gilt device decoration on spine and outer dentelles.

The British Guy trucks were rugged featuring 4-cylinder engines fitted with a detachable cylinder head and 4-speed gearbox and fitted with caterpillar tracks. The half-tracks were prone to serious wear in the desert sand eating through bushings and selals and slowed them down quite a bit. They followed Sturt Creek past Lake Stretch Billiluna Homestead and onto Gregory’s Salt Sea Lake Gregory and then the little used Canning Stock Route to Well 48. After reaching Yeeda they crossed the Fitzroy River and then onto Broome.

Cord-bound commercial album stamped in blind 'Portraiture'; covers slightly marked and a little worn at the corners; the contents are in fine condition the last photograph is creased and cracked at one corner. A lengthy article related to this event appeared in 'The Advertiser' Thursday 23 May 1929: 'The Victorian section of the Australian Aero Club will conduct an aerial pageant at the Essendon Aerodrome near Melbourne on Saturday afternoon. The programme of events includes the Aerial Derby for which over 20 machines have been entered. Of these about eight will represent New South Wales and eight Victoria. South Australia will also have a strong representation. <p>Seven planes will leave the Parafield Aerodrome for Melbourne this morning at 9.30 if the weather permits. The following planes will comprise the formation: D.H. 60 Gipsy Moth G-AUIB D.H. Moth V-HUAM D.H. Moth V-EUAR D.H. Gipsy Moth G-AUIV D.H. Gipsy Moth G-AUKO Avro Avian G-AUSY and probably the De Havilland "Old Gold" passenger machine. The first three are Aero Club planes and the others are privately owned. <p>Flying-Officer J.A. Mollison Aero Club instructor will be leader of the formation and Mr. C.A. Hewitt will be deputy-leader. Others making the flight to Melbourne are Messrs. N. Birks J.A. Jukes A.H. Wilkins E.B. Lawson P. Knapman F. Wellington S. Hamilton L. Wood J. Churchill Smith secretary of Aero Club and Dr. H.C. Nott. The flight to Essendon will be made via Nhill Victoria. Friday will be spent by the airmen in tuning up engines for the races on the following day'. <p>The first eight photographs were taken at Parafield Aerodrome in outer-suburban Adelaide with portraits of Nott and Wood identified. These are followed by two at Nhill Aerodrome 'Mollison refuelling' and 'Lawson'; two at Ararat Aerodrome 'on Racecourse'; and eight taken at Rockbank 28 kms west of Melbourne. These are captioned 'Mollison taking off in "1B"'; 'Hewitt'; 'Nott in "A5"'; Lawson Mollison Hewitt & Wellington éxamining "A17"'; 'Hewitt Mollison Lawson & Wellington'; 'Nott Mollison Lawson & Wellington'; and 'Mollison Lawson & Hewitt'. <p>The last one taken from the air is captioned 'Crashed Aero at Nhill'. The Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre website records that on 23 May 1929 'J.A. Mollison arrived from Adelaide with 6 aircraft. One crash-landed at old Dimboola road aerodrome instead of landing at New site at Halpin Park'. The pilot was possibly Lin Wood. Harry Carew Nott unknown
808351 A manuscript personal promissory note 90 × 167 mm dated Adelaide 24 October 1840 - 'Three months after date pay to my order Thirty Pounds value received. F.W. Allen. To C.W. Stuart Esqre'. Stuart has written across it 'Accepted Payable at the Bank of South Australia'. It was subsequently stamped by the Bank of South Australia Adelaide when it was paid on 27 January 1841. The verso is endorsed by F.W. Allen C. Crispe and 'For the Bank of South Australia Edwd Stephens Manager'. Apart from two vertical creases and a tiny spike hole it is in fine condition. <p>2 A printed Bank of South Australia cheque 80 × 180 mm printed by Batho and Bingley London with manuscript insertions - 11 February 1841 from C.W. Stuart to Harry Lechahdee for 3 pounds. A bank stamp on it indicates it was paid out in Adelaide on 15 February 1841. It is endorsed on the verso by Robert Champlay an indecipherable signature and three small Xs. It is lightly creased with a tiny spike hole; on the verso there is a discoloured band denoting the outer surfaces when the item was originally folded; basically in excellent condition. It goes without saying that these are utterly rare ephemeral items dating from when the colony was barely four years old. However because of this we are able to identify most of the signatories thus giving these trifles much greater weight. <p>Edward Stephens 1811-1861 was appointed cashier and accountant of the South Australian Company in 1836; he arrived in the 'Coromandel' on 17 January 1837 at Holdfast Bay. 'There he set up his office in a tent but at first business was slight. He was induced to sign a letter to Governor Sir John Hindmarsh asking for a public meeting to reconsider the site of Adelaide. Although in February the meeting decided in favour of Colonel William Light's choice Stephens did not hesitate to buy eight city acres 3.2 ha when they were auctioned and later became very friendly with Light. Stephens fell foul of Hindmarsh and was rebuked by George Fife Angas for dabbling in politics' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. In 1840 he became the Adelaide manager of the Bank of South Australia. Charles William Stuart ~1811-1891 arrived in the colony in 1836 and became Acting Police Commissioner during Alexander Tolmer's extended absences on overland gold escort duties in 1852-53. Tolmer's dismissal in November 1853 was in part due to his involvement 'in demeaning disputes with his subordinates' not least Stuart. Frederick William Allen 1813-1850 arrived on the 'Buffalo' and became a publican. Clement Crispe ~1804-1857 arrived in 1837 on the 'John Renwick' and was a butcher and farmer. Robert Champlay was married in Adelaide on 30 January 1840. Most of the biographical details have come from the 'Biographical Index of South Australians 1836-1885'. We have not yet traced Harry - there are some intriguing possibilities. 2 items. unknown
