Pastoral Pioneers of South Australia. Reprinted from 'The Stock and Station Journal'

1925141101Adelaide: Publishers Limited 1925. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide Publishers Limited 1925 and 1927 first editions. Quarto two volumes 207 1 colophon and 263 pages with numerous portraits and illustrations from photographs. Matching original half maroon roan and cloth lettered in gilt on the spines and front covers; leather a little rubbed and scuffed with minor wear to the extremities and the head and foot of the spine of the first volume expertly renewed; cloth flecked mottled and a little marked; endpapers in the first volume a little tanned with the margins discoloured by the leather turn-ins; trifling signs of age and use; a very good set internally excellent of these rarely-seen first edition volumes. An important series of lengthy biographical sketches of SA pioneering pastoralists. 'Publication of the series began in the "Adelaide Stock and Station Journal" on January 10 1923 and continued weekly until August 10 1927. During that period a total of 230 articles was published and the number of pastoralists to receive attention is in the neighbourhood of 300. No really representative pioneer sheep-farmer or cattle-breeder who operated in South Australia has been overlooked and in many cases it has been possible to retrieve from almost complete oblivion the interesting records of lesser lights' foreword to the second volume. A short article in 'The News' 8 July 1941 relating to a substantial gift of books and papers to the SA Archives by A.T. Saunders states in part that 'Among the books is a copy of the very rare first volume of Cockburn's "Pastoral Pioneers of South Australia"'. We recall reading in one of James Dally's catalogues in our early days in the late 1970s that many copies of the first volume of this work were destroyed in a fire. Although we cannot substantiate this fact in our experience it is indeed an absolute rarity. Provenance: Alexander Cockburn brother of the compiler of these volumes. The verso of the title page is inscribed 'To Alexander Cockburn from his son Malcolm as a Souvenir of the first fee received by him for his professional services Dec 1925'. At the foot of the foreword Malcolm has written 'The majority of the sketches herein were written by Rodney Cockburn brother of Alexander Cockburn'. 2 items. Publishers Limited hardcover

[Stereographs]. THOMAS, Edwin CBiblio.com

A collection of 17 'Australasian Stereo Views' published by the little-known South Australian photographer Edwin C. Thomas

138947Very Good. Original gelatin silver photographs with the pairs of images printed as one plate 86 × 144 mm mounted on light yellow cards 98 × 178 mm uniformly printed and decorated on the verso 'Photographed by Edwin C. Thomas. Australasian Stereo Views'. Some have hand-written captions see below. Minimal signs of age and handling; overall in excellent condition. The 'Petersburg Times' on Friday 12 May 1893 contained a short article under the headline 'Photography'. 'It will be noted by our advertising columns that Mr Edwin C. Thomas has commenced business at Petersburg as a Photographer and thus another long felt local want has been filled. The Studio which is replete with the latest accessories to the photographic art is in Jervois Street opposite the Courthouse. Besides the ordinary work of the photographer Mr Thomas makes a specialty of stereoscopic views in which he is very successful. The prices quoted for photographs are extremely moderate whilst good work is assured. We believe there is a good opening for a photographer in the town and we hope Mr. Thomas may be successful in working up a thriving business. Farmers and others who would like their residences taken should communicate with him'. Thomas merely appears on the 'List of Names' compiled by Robert Noye AGSA. Davies and Stanbury simply note 'Edwin Thomas Petersburgh sic Peterborough South Australia 1894'. Institutional holdings of his works are almost non-existent: if Trove is any indicator the State Library of SA is the only location of any of his photographs with a grand total of two examples one of which is a battered stereo view of 'Stoney Creek near Quorn' B 78542. The 'Evening Journal' and the 'South Australian Register' both carry the following snippet on Tuesday 18 October 1892: 'From Mr. Edwin C. Thomas travelling photographer we have received six stereo views of South Australian scenes: two of the Burra Burra Mines and one each of the Kooringa State School Botanic Gardens Parkside Asylum and King William street. The workmanship is good and the pictures are attractive'. Ten of the stereographs in this collection have short captions in ink: nine are on the verso four of which have the same caption on the recto with the other five having some variant of it; one is captioned solely on the recto 'Mr Crocker's Farm'. In the main they confirm what is apparent from the scene and apart from a number in Adelaide King William Street Adelaide Arcade Parkside Lunatic Asylum several in the Botanic Gardens they depict scenes in Clare the interior of the Catholic Church at Seven Hills Orroroo Port Augusta Quorn Saltia Pichi Richi Pass and unidentified rural settings. One identifying S.A. Blondin walking a high wire in Quorn enables us to date it to the month and year. The 'Manning Index of South Australian History' online records that 'A photograph of "Blondin at Quorn" is in the Pictorial Australian on Monday 1st October 1894 page 169'. It is a slightly different image - Blondin seems to have taken a step or two forward and is now balancing on one leg - and the caption states 'With a Country Photographer - Blondin at Quorn. From a Negative by Mr. E. Thomas'. 17 items. unknown

MITCHELL, Dame RomaBiblio.com

A pair of portrait photographs of Dame Roma Mitchell in court dress taken on the occasion of her appointment as Queen's Counsel in 1962

19621455901962. Fine. 1962. Two vintage gelatin silver photographs visible image size 237 × 187 mm matted glazed and framed to match external dimensions 366 × 306 mm. Both photographs and frames are in fine condition. Dame Roma Mitchell 1913-2000 was Australia's first female Queen's Counsel judge university chancellor and state governor among other achievements. Mitchell was particularly proud of her appointment as Queen's Counsel in September 1962 considering it a highlight of her career and these fine portrait photographs must have been commissioned to mark this occasion. Both show her in court dress against an identical backdrop and with similar props. In one she wears her everyday bar wig and bands and in the other she wears full ceremonial dress with lace jabot and cuffs and full-bottomed wig worn only on formal occasions. Mitchell's appointment attracted scant media attention but an article in 'The Australian Women's Weekly' on 10 October 1962 makes more ado of her new full-dress regalia than it does of her already-distinguished legal career and pioneering advocacy of women's causes: 'Miss Mitchell an easy-to-talk-to elegantly dressed woman of 48 is tall and will wear full dress with distinction'. For women QCs 'full dress is laid down thus: "Coat made of black superfine cloth in the same style as a man's coat except that it should not be skirted but instead be short as in a lady's ordinary suit . black flexible buttons. Plain white blouse . lace frill and ruffles at wrist. Plain black skirt of superfine cloth. Black silk stockings . black patent-leather ladies' court shoes . cut-steel buckles. Black silk gown . full bottomed wig . black silk "wig-bag" . white gloves"'. The State Library of South Australia holds examples of both images PRG 778/57/5 and PRG 778/57/6 but does not identify the photographer. 2 items. unknown

Meyer; The Port Lincoln Tribe by the Rev. C.W. Schuermann; The Dieyerie Tribe by S. Gason; Vocabulary of Woolner District Dialect Northern Territory by John Wm. Ogilvie Bennett; with an Introductory Chapter by J.D. Woods

1879123987Adelaide: E.S. Wigg & Son 1879. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide E.S. Wigg & Son 1879 first thus. Octavo xliv 316 pages plus 8 tinted lithographs with tissue-guards. Original publisher's half morocco and watered cloth; spine lettered and decorated in gilt in compartments; edges and endpapers marbled; leather moderately rubbed at the extremities; trifling signs of age and use; a very good copy internally excellent. An early collected reprint of works already scarce at the time; the lithographs and lengthy 34-page introduction by Woods were new to this edition. Not commonly known is that Taplin's substantial contribution 'The Narrinyeri' 156 pages plus 6 preliminaries is the text of the revised edition of 1878 see his informative preface dated 12 April 1878 at page xliii. The Wyatt contribution was not previously published as such; the text here was 'principally extracted from his official reports' stemming from his relatively short and unhappy time as the third South Australian Protector of the Aborigines from 1837 to 1839 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The contributions by Meyer Schuermann Gason and Bennett first appeared in 1846 1846 1874 and 1869 respectively. Ferguson 13095 noting blue sand-grain cloth and another binding in half leather but not an unillustrated edition we have identified. Provenance: John Harris Browne 1817-1904 expeditioner and pastoralist with his contemporary ownership signature 'J.H. Browne 1879' on the front flyleaf. 'In 1844-45 he went as medical officer with Charles Sturt's expedition into Central Australia. Unusually observant and intensely practical he was probably the most useful member of the party and although he suffered like the others from scurvy his courage and professional skill certainly brought Sturt back alive' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The later armorial bookplate of James Angas Johnson 1841-1902 accountant pastoralist and a grandson of George Fife Angas is mounted on the front pastedown. The marginal annotation in pencil on page 212 alongside text relating to body painting of the 'Port Lincoln Tribe' may be in his hand: 'The White paint is Gypsum the Black is the Black Oxide of Manganese the Red is Hematite viz Red Iron ore'.
