1929138109Adelaide: Hunkin Ellis & King Printers and Publishers Pirie Street 1929. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide Hunkin Ellis & King Printers and Publishers Pirie Street first published 1929; suggested third issue with minor differences as detailed below. Octavo 16 pages with 2 illustrations from photographs on pages 6 and 12; the colophon at the foot of the last page states 'Hunkin Ellis and King Ltd. Printers Pirie Street Adelaide'. Pale green wrappers with a portrait of the author on the front cover plus text on the inside rear cover 'An Aboriginal Pleads for His Race' by David Unaipon; wrappers foxed and lightly used with the spine expertly stabilised on the inside; unrelated text written in ink on the blank outside rear cover and in the blank bottom quarter of the last page quoting Sir Stanton Hicks on soil health; overall a very good copy. This is claimed - incorrectly - to be the first book by an Aboriginal Australian see Michael Richards: 'People Print and Paper. A Catalogue of a Travelling Exhibition celebrating the Books of Australia 1788-1988' National Library of Australia 1988 - item 48 with 1929 as the date of publication. Both the Australian National Bibliography and Greenway are unclear confused and confusing on this point but a review copy with this date in Sir Will Sowden's hand has been sighted and that should settle it. Variant issues of both the first and later editions of this seminal work exist: obvious changes to this edition include the page count commencing with the first page and not the second; the removal of the lizard illustration from the fourth page and the addition of the text on the inside rear cover. Subtle changes indicate that the book was partially reset: these include the variant colophon on the last page the Pirie Street address no longer includes the number 113; a variant font for the captions; and variant spacings between the headings and text. <p>It is worth enumerating the other variants we have identified and our suggested order of issue. There are two different cover illustrations: the portrait of the author as with this copy and a portrait of a young Indigenous woman Clara and each appears on at least two variant colour wrappers. In the first issue the outside rear cover carries a small advertisement within a thin border: 'The Narrinyeri Their Customs and Traditions By David Unaipon Is in Course of Preparation'. This advertisement appears to have been removed from all subsequent issues most likely because the proposed publication did not appear under the advertised title and not even under Unaipon's name if it is the book we think it is. In early 1927 after an unfortunate breakdown in communications between David Unaipon and Angus and Robertson the publishers sold the copyright of Unaipon's manuscript 'Legendary Tales of the Australian Aborigines' to Dr William Ramsay Smith. In 1930 in a slightly edited form not least with Smith now claiming full authorship the manuscript was published in London as 'Myths and Legends of the Australian Aboriginals'. The full account of this unhappy story was published in 'Legendary Tales of the Australian Aborigines' edited by Stephen Muecke and Adam Shoemaker Miegunyah Press 2001. <p>What we believe to be the second issue contains two rather than three illustrations to the text the lizard illustration from the fourth page is removed; the printer's street number 113 and the name of the city are lacking from the colophon; and there is no advertisement on the rear cover. The third issue as in the present copy is similar to the second but can be distinguished by corrected pagination the page count commences with the first page and not the second; another variant colophon with 'and' instead of an ampersand and Adelaide reintroduced; captions set in different type; and the addition of text to the inside rear cover 'An Aboriginal Pleads for His Race'.
