102439Fine. Ten gelatin silver photographs each approximately 110 × 160 mm stamped on the versos 'The Advertiser . Adelaide . Krischock Photos copyright'. In fine condition. Locomotive 506 'Sir George Murray' entered service in October 1926; it was withdrawn in June 1959 and scrapped three years later. We have been able to trace a couple of relatively minor derailments involving this locomotive but not this particular incident. The terrain and surrounding vegetation suggest to us the mallee country between Tailem Bend and the border; the clothing on the bystanders especially the two boys in their long woollen socks thick overcoats and school caps brings back childhood memories from the early 1950s. But the train wreck is the story and this series of photographs serves graphically to confirm the official SAR estimates of the total weight of the engine and tender at more than 220 tons . 10 items. unknown

The photographs are of Captain Samuel White Sweet 130 × 71 mm presumably a self-portrait and George Loyau 98 × 58 mm credited in the negative to George & Walton: he is facing the camera with his head turned a little to the left. This is another variant see Holden 71 of an item usually found with the author's photograph only and to further complicate matters the latter occurs in at least three variant forms as well!. In our experience this issue with the portrait of Samuel Sweet is most uncommon. Captain Samuel White Sweet 1825-1886 sea captain surveyor and photographer took command in January 1869 'of the two-masted schooner "Gulnare" which was later bought by the South Australian government for the Northern Territory survey expedition'. Between February 1869 and April 1872 he made five trips to the Northern Territory. 'In September 1870 in Darwin he photographed the official party at the ceremonial planting of the first pole of the overland telegraph; he also took pictures of the township the men at work and forest scenery.' He spent the next three years as a master mariner based in Adelaide until 11 May 1875 when 'his ship the "Wallaroo" with his wife aboard ran aground in a gale on Office Beach Wallaroo. An inquiry attributed it to Sweet's error of judgment and he was censured. He retired from the sea opened a photographic studio in Adelaide and concentrated on landscapes. With his horse-drawn dark room he travelled through South Australia taking hundreds of skilful pictures of the outback stations and homesteads. The colony's foremost documentary photographer of the 1870s in the early 1880s he was one of the first to use the new dry-plate process' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'.
