1936125803Adelaide: D. Darian Smith Commercial & Aerial Photography 1936. Very Good. Adelaide D. Darian Smith Commercial & Aerial Photography 1936. A panoramic gelatin silver photograph 128 × 322 mm unmounted as issued with the ink-stamp of the photographer on the verso. The print has a slight longitudinal curl and a few light creases near the right-hand edge; overall in excellent condition. The photograph was taken as the landscaping in the front of the building was being undertaken; the horse-drawn roller seems an anachronism against the backdrop of the impressive Art Deco facade. The State Library of South Australia has in its collection a raking shot of the building taken from the north-east showing the completed landscaping SLSA B 7265. 'Centennial Hall built to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Colony later State of South Australia and to house the 1936 Centennial Empire Exhibition was opened on 20 March 1936. It was considered to be a significant historical landmark and was one of the few remaining examples of 1930s Art Deco architecture in Adelaide. However the building developed "concrete cancer" and was closed at the end of the 2005 Royal Show because it was unsafe. Demolition of Centennial Hall commenced on Wednesday 18 July 2007' Wikipedia. A huge poster advertising the Centennial Exhibition is visible in this image. D. Darian Smith, Commercial & Aerial Photography unknown

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
