27343An original and probably vintage albumen silver photograph 103 × 150 mm mounted on thin card captioned in pencil on the verso 'The first mission to the Mission Station'. There is a light 30 mm oblique crack to the surface of the image near the centre of the left-hand side and a thin blue ink line in a similar position on the right-hand side about the same length overall extending some 20 mm on to the image; a few other light marks and creases to the mount do not detract from what is essentially very good condition all round. The party consisted of Missionaries Johann Goessling and Ernst Homann and two lay-helpers Hermann Vogelsang and Johann Jacob. They set out from Langmeil Tanunda church on Tuesday 9 October 1866 with two large covered wagons and seven horses. This image along with the full details of the epic journey and the first attempt to establish a mission among the Dieri Diyari in the Coopers Creek area appears in 'A Work of Love and Sacrifice. The Story of the Mission among the Dieri Tribe at Cooper's Creek' by Pastors E.H. and H.F.W. Proeve Tanunda 1952 and in 'White Man's Dreaming.

Number 190 of only 200 copies numbered and signed by Thomas Gill. This is a deluxe enlarged edition of a work first published as the Supplement to Volume 11 of the Proceedings of the RGSSA in the same year. The extra material includes text maps and facsimile documents. <p>We have only encountered the dustwrapper once before and the small oval label of the 'Government Printing Office Adelaide S.A.' gilt on red cloth mounted on the rear pastedown is uncommon in our experience. Loosely inserted are two interesting pieces of ephemera indicating that this was one of several copies offered for sale by ballot to members of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia South Australian Branch in 1978. The Society was the original publisher and it purchased the author's collection after his death in 1923 so these retained copies - released nearly 70 years after the work was published - could have come from either source.

108942Fine. A gelatin silver photograph 237 × 307 mm unmounted as issued: in fine condition. The ink-stamp of the photographer 'J. Gazard 111 King Wm. St. Adelaide' is on the verso together with a pencilled caption reading: 'June 21 1905. Unveiling of the Monument to Colonel Light the founder of Adelaide in Light Square Adelaide where his remains are buried'. Light Square became the burial place of Colonel William Light in 1839; the original monument erected over his grave in 1843 became damaged and was replaced. 'The new monument which still stands today consisted of a theodolite placed on a tall column. It was unveiled on the 21 June 1905 to a large crowd that included "old colonists" who had witnessed Light's funeral 66 years previously seated on either side of the monument. Sir Samuel Way addressed the crowd reinforcing Light's legend by recalling the achievements and adventures of the founder of Adelaide. The Mayor of Adelaide Mr Theodore Bruce then proceeded with the unveiling of the monument' 'Adelaidia' website. This impressive image captures it all. unknown

Half calf and cloth; minor signs of external wear; trifling signs of handling to some of the inserted paperwork; overall in excellent condition. The Lion Brewing and Malting Company in North Adelaide was founded in 1884 and floated in 1888 the same year as the South Australian Brewing Company Limited 'in order to secure the brewing hotel and property assets of Beaglehole and Johnston . The company owned many hotels in South Australia' Wikipedia. 'The Register' on 24 April 1914 reported that 'At the Lion Brewery North Adelaide which has been in existence for many years the last brew of beer has been made. The company who owns it has arranged with the Walkerville Brewing Company to supply all its houses in future and a contract has been entered into with the Lion Company to supply the other with malt'. When Lion was eventually taken over by the SA Brewing Company in 1973 'The Canberra Times' 1 August 1973 noted that 'Lion's name is misleading as it operates in the hotel trade and not in the brewing field. It owns 25 hotel freeholds in SA and recently agreed to pay $550000 for the 50% interest of the estate of F.S. Sison deceased in six hotels'. When both these companies - the Lion and the SA Brewing Company - entered the industry in the 1880s 'it was common practice for breweries wishing to protect and expand their trade to do so by obtaining control over as many retail outlets as their finances would permit. The tenants of theses outlets hotels were required by contract to stock only the products of the brewer owner. Investment of hotels therefore was conceived and practised essentially as an aid to protect and expand brewery output. The return by way of rents was of secondary importance and was usually much below the yields available from alternative invests' Michael Cudmore: 'History of the South Australian Brewing Company Limited' page 33. The Trade Practices Act 1974 made illegal this very lucrative 'tied house' system. This unique register gathers together in one volume a wealth of fascinating detail relating to this system pertaining to approximately 60 hotels across the state. Country localities include Elliston Hamley Bridge Goolwa Jamestown Kingston Maitland Narracoorte Port Augusta Port Lincoln Rivoli Bay Saddleworth and Stockport. Many of the city and suburban hotels are still familiar names: the Bath Britannia British Cremorne Cross Keys Land of Promise Mitcham Inn Oxford Royal Oak Talbot Union Walker's Arms and Wheatsheaf. hardcover

It was 'the oldest German-language journal for geography in which all major geographical discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries were published' Wikipedia. About J.M. Gilmore we have unearthed nothing and when even such an indefatigable bibliographer as Ian McLaren doesn't record him you're definitely made a discovery. The map is much more informative. Gilmore made two trips in the Channel Country in south-west Queensland one in January to March 1871 the other in September-October 1871. The routes are marked in red on the map.
