188358409Adelaide: Government Printer 1883. Very Good. Adelaide Government Printer 1883 1883 1883 and 1884. Foolscap folio four reports 3; 4; 2; and 3 pages. Drop-title; small notches and tiny pinholes in the inner margins where bound now disbound; tiny nick to the top edge throughout with the top margin of the first page of the first report slightly discoloured; overall in excellent condition. South Australian Parliamentary Papers Number 53 53A 54 and 54A of 1883-84; only 670 copies of each of the last three reports were published. Although these reports are numbered consecutively the periods covered are the last quarter of 1882 and the last three quarters of 1883; there is no report for the first quarter of 1883 probably because of the departure of the long-serving Government Resident Edward Price in that period. <p>The usual pastoral mining and agricultural reports are enlivened in the last paper by Acting Government Resident Gilbert McMinn's detailed account of his success in finding Stuart's marked tree at his last camp near the mouth of the Mary River. This discovery removed 'the last shadow of doubt in connection with the great explorer's achievement' brought on by Stuart's mistaken belief that he was following the Adelaide River.

107917The five men four in butcher's striped aprons and one woman are standing on the unsealed road in front of the shop next to a horse-drawn delivery cart sign-written with the name 'A. Mount'. The vintage gelatin silver photograph image size 107 × 152 mm is on the original blind-stamped mount of 'McNeills 184 Rundle St Adelaide' 207 × 246 mm. Pencilled on the verso is '1907 A. Mount Woodside'; although we have been unable to verify these details most places in the Adelaide Hills in the Edwardian era probably did look like this. However what is decidedly most rare about this scene is that one of the butchers is of Indian or Afghan descent. unknown

1924123086Gawler: Marchant's Studio 1924. Fine. Gawler Marchant's Studio circa 1924. An original gelatin silver photograph behind glass in the original blackwood frame with gilt fillet and wood-veneer mat visible image size approximately 238 × 288 mm external dimensions approximately 480 × 580 mm. The photograph is in fine condition; the frame is in excellent condition albeit slightly scuffed and marked. A small Marchant's Studio paper label is mounted on the mat; a considerably larger label mounted on the verso states it has been 'Established Sixty Years'. Davis and Stanbury 'The Mechanical Eye in Australia' suggest this occurred in 1864. 'The game of hockey was brought to Australia by British Naval officers stationed around the country in the late 1800s. By 1900 according to Hockey Australia the game was being played in private girls' schools. Being a non-contact team sport it was considered ideal for women. The first women's hockey association was formed in New South Wales in 1908. Two years later women's clubs from Tasmania Victoria and South Australia were competing alongside clubs from New South Wales at an interstate tournament at Rushcutter's Bay and from this tournament came the establishment of the Australian Women's Hockey Association in July 1910 - fifteen years before the Australian Hockey Association AHA was formed in 1925. State hockey associations for men had been formed in South Australia 1903; Victoria and New South Wales 1906; Western Australia 1908; and Queensland 1920s. This division in the administration of men's and women's hockey continued in subsequent years. The Australian Women's Hockey Association affiliated with the All England Women's Hockey Association and joined the International Federation of Women's Hockey IFWH in 1927' Australian Women's Archives Project online. Accordingly this item is tolerably early as well as being a fine piece of portraiture. Marchant's Studio unknown

The introduction to the second volume by Norman B. Tindale indicates that the first volume was published in an edition of 100 copies in October 1933 despite the preface dated 8 May 1923 likely a misprint frequently overlooked. <p>This compendium is an important resource on the Indigenous languages of South Australia including the Ngarrindjeri Kaurna and Ngaiawang languages.

127218Fine. Albumen paper photographs each approximately 157 × 207 mm in fine condition; the mount has a few trifling blemishes. The Bank of South Australia building still stands on King William Street Adelaide. The photographer's credit and reference number 'Sweet Adelaide 92' is scratched in the negative. The imposing hospital buildings now demolished are photographed from an elevated vantage point probably the roof of the Botanic Hotel across North Terrace and the wide-angled view shows a sparsely-developed city now lost to history. The reference to Sweet was painted out in the original negative before this print was made suggesting it may be a posthumous print.

1875ABC_48856Sydney 1875. Ca. 8 x 46.5 cm. Panorama photograph consisting of three albumen prints joined together with white bookcloth. A long folding panorama photograph of Sydney Harbour in the late 19th century. It prominently features the east side of Circular Quay which at the time was a commercial working wharf dominated by the wool trade. The many wool stores that were built here have since been demolished. The large wool store of Hill Clark and Co at the end of the wharf which was completed in 1883 cannot be found on the photograph which means it must have been taken in 1882 at the latest. The photograph is not signed but is reminiscent of the work of Australian photographers Charles Bayliss 1850-1897 and Francis Whitfield Robinson ca. 1819-after 1882 who made similar panorama photos of Sydney around this time.The photograph is slightly discoloured one of the bookcloth hinges is partly torn. Otherwise in good condition. hardcover
