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. <p>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

1845109128Adelaide: Andrew Murray Printer Rundle Street Sold by C. Platts Bookseller Hindley Street . 1845. First Edition. Paperback. Adelaide Andrew Murray Printer Rundle Street Sold by C. Platts Bookseller Hindley Street . 1845. Octavo xii last blank 106 pages plus a folding etching but lacking the folding frontispiece map noted by Ferguson. Original bright green wrappers with the full title page details repeated on the front cover with the date of publication now added; wrappers a little marked but expertly conserved the front cover is now lined on the verso stabilizing a long tear and filling in some minor loss to the edges; title page a little marked; occasional chips and dog-ear creases to the uncut edges; trifling signs of age and use but essentially a very agreeable copy. The State Library of South Australia has a copy of this item with the map and it's a beauty - a hand-coloured lithograph 322 × 213 mm produced in 'Goodwood nr Adelaide' in 1845. However reading between the lines a case may be made for stating that not all copies were issued with the map. Its absence here notwithstanding this is by any account a very rare publication and worthy of serious consideration on at least two counts. The folding plate is an etching paper size approximately 220 × 280 mm of 'Ridley's Reaping Machine. S. Australia' signed and dated in the plate 'NRF 1845'. The artist is Frederick Robert Nixon circa 1817-1860 who arrived in Adelaide in May 1838 to take up a position as assistant surveyor. In 1845 he published 'Twelve Views in Adelaide and its Vicinity South Australia. Drawn etched and printed by F.R. Nixon'; it was the earliest South Australian plate book. He was a self-taught artist who 'had to manufacture all his machinery for preparing and pressing his etchings . they are superior as works of art and accurately as well as pleasingly depict the scenes which they represent 'The South Australian' 21 February 1845. Nixon left Adelaide in May 1846 bound for Mauritius where he died in 1860. Kerr's 'The Dictionary of Australian Artists' 1992 records that the Ridley etching was the only other one he is known to have produced. There is a lengthy chapter 10 pages on the Aboriginal inhabitants and the chapter on horticulture contains seven pages on vines and wine-making with the information credited to M. Vaillant see page 58. Ferguson 4014. Andrew Murray, Printer, Rundle Street (Sold by C. Platts, Bookseller, Hindley Street ...) paperback

A vintage group photograph captioned 'Cricket Match Feb 02 Furreedpore' '1902 Faridpur' in another hand on the verso

110709Image size 229 × 286 mm on the original mount 252 × 304 mm with the caption in ink below the image behind a mat with interior quarter-round corners maximum visible image size 223 × 282 mm framed and glazed with a gilt fillet behind the glass. The caption is not visible when the mat is in position; the bottom left-hand corner of the mount and photograph has been broken away and repaired with a 75 mm diagonal crack across that corner visible but unobtrusive; there is a tiny amount of surface loss to the shirt of the player in the centre of the front row; overall a very appealing period piece in an early but not contemporary mat and frame. Furreedpore Faridpur formerly in East Bengal India now Bangladesh has important Australian connections exemplified by this photograph. Silas Mead 1834-1909 a Baptist minister emigrated to South Australia in July 1861; 'he preached at chapels in Adelaide and North Adelaide. Regular services began at White's Rooms and within a month a Baptist Church was constituted with twenty-six members. Inspired by Mead's enthusiastic leadership the congregation decided to build a large church in Flinders Street; it was opened on 19 May 1863. When its cost of £7000 was cleared by 1864 he established at Furreedpore India the first constituted Australian Baptist Foreign Mission and later helped to found similar societies in other Australian colonies'. His son Dr Cecil Silas Mead 1866-1940 followed closely in his footsteps; after graduating from the University of Adelaide in 1891 'he served as a medical missionary in eastern Bengal for twenty-nine years returned to Adelaide to teach anatomy in 1923-39 and died in June 1940' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Dr Mead is second from the right in the top seated row; we have no reason to doubt that this photograph was once in his possession and for all intents and purposes it is unique. A copy of 'Doctor Sahib: The Story of Dr Cecil Silas Mead' by Elva Schroeder 2013 is offered together with the photograph. 2 items. unknown

A vintage photograph of the St Peter's College team in 'Inter-Collegiate Cricket 1910. PAC 118 and 209 v SPSC 368 and 191'

100633A gelatin silver photograph 218 × 294 mm laid down as issued on the original printed mount of the photographer 'E.

Last year the game was played at Prince Alfred College the first time in the history of the matches first played in 1878 that the Adelaide Oval was not available. The match is one of the most important cricket events outside first-class matches in South Australia although in recent years it has failed to sic the importance and drawing power of inter-collegiate matches played before the war. Many famous cricketers have graduated from the college teams'. <p>The 1910 SPSC team - victorious to the tune of 232 runs - was no exception; sitting next to each other are C.E. Pellew and Vice-Captain A.G. Moyes. 'Nip' Pellew played for South Australia 1913-14 to 1928-29 the AIF Touring XI 1919 to 1919-20 and Australia ten Tests in 1920-21. Johnny Moyes a 'promising young cricketer . had represented 1912-15 South Australia making a century on debut been chosen 1914 for Australia in a tour cancelled due to World War I against South Africa and played for Victoria in 1920. In Sydney he achieved one of the highest individual scores in grade cricket when he made 218 runs in 83 minutes for the Gordon District Cricket Club in 1922. he served as a New South Wales selector 1926-27 and wanted Sir Donald Bradman to play for the State' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. For many years he worked as a journalist including fifteen years as sporting editor of 'The Sun' and he published thirteen books on cricket. In 1949 he began 'broadcasting sporting sessions for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. In 1950-51 he covered his first Test series against England. In 1955 he received a full-time contract. As a cricket broadcaster he became a household name in Australia and New Zealand in the 1950s and early 1960s' ADB. unknown
