1913114191Manchester: Mack & Co. Photographers 1913. Very Good. Manchester Mack & Co. Photographers 1913. A gelatin silver photograph image size 240 × 283 mm on the original mount external dimensions 375 × 455 mm; the caption is in white ink in a calligraphic hand below the image; the details of the photographic studio are printed below an embossed printed border. The mount is a little rubbed and worn at the extremities with a small sealed crack to one margin; there is minor surface damage to the mount well clear of the image and caption where an old window mat has been removed; the photograph has a few tiny surface blemishes near the bottom edge but overall in excellent condition. At the time Archibald Henry Peake 1859-1920 was the Premier of South Australia a position he held on three occasions 1909-1910 1912-1915 and 1917-1920. He died in office on 6 April 1920. In 1912 'the Liberals won an eight-seat majority . Peake again became premier treasurer and minister of education. His government concentrated on constructing rural railway lines often against expert advice. Most proved uneconomic impoverishing the railways for years. In 1912 the government created the Industrial Arbitration Court; in return for the introduction by it of a minimum wage workers lost the right to strike or to engage in any activity which might prolong a strike. Six o'clock closing of hotels was carried at a plebiscite simultaneously with the 1915 election and remained for over fifty years. Peake's government liberalized the franchise for the Legislative Council. In London in 1913 Peake had an audience with King George V and recorded his experiences in "Notes from a Diary" 1914. The ministry's major achievement was its arrangement in 1914 with the Federal New South Wales and Victorian governments for the locking of the Murray River: the River Murray Commission carried out the co-ordinating agreement' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The nature of this item and the fact that we purchased it with other photographs identified as such suggest strongly that it was originally in the possession of Peake himself. Mack & Co.

187623907Boston: Forbes Lith. Mfg. Co. 1876. First edition. This scarce tinted lithograph was issued to commemorate the escape of Irish political prisoners from Fremantle W.A. on April 17th 1876. The Fenians are shown rowing towards the bark which is under full sail. The Catalpa is flying a flag with the initials "J T R" - for John T Richardson the ship's agent. A pennant with the letter C the Fenian flag and the American flag are also flying. <br /> <br /> The police boat is in hot pursuit and the British steamship "Georgette" is steaming in from a distance. Among the Fenians freed in this effort was John Boyle O'Reilly who became a leading citizen in Boston and was later to edit the 'Boston Pilot'. <br /> <br /> Captain George Anthony an American whaling captain out of New Bedford Massachusetts recruited a crew for this mission and set sail for Western Australia where two Fenian agents John Breslin and Tom Desmond had already established themselves with aliases. With several delays the day for the escape was set for the 17th of April when most of the convict garrison was distracted by watching the Perth Yacht Club regatta.<br /> <br /> Captain Anthony who refused to surrender the escaped prisoners to the British later sold his story to Zephaniah W. Pease who published the account in 'The Catalpa Expedition'. See also Laubenstein 'The Emerald Whaler'.<br /> <br /> On its arrival in New York in August of 1876 the Catalpa was met with great crowds; jubilant celebrations were held in the US and Ireland.<br /> <br /> 17 x 13" on paper 22 x 14 1/4".

Joyner's photographs. unknown
1866141595Adelaide: Townsend Duryea 1866. First Edition. Hardcover. Adelaide Townsend Duryea circa 1866. A photograph album 254 × 340 mm containing a magnificent panorama of Adelaide comprising five roughly uniform albumen paper photographs mounted as issued slightly overlapping to form a continuous image 124 × 880 mm on a linen-backed card mount 244 × 951 mm folded into three plus 12 albumen paper photographs nine of them around 130 × 200 mm or the reverse one 130 × 172 mm and the last two approximately 220 × 285 mm mounted on the rectos of stiff card leaves. Original russet pebble-grain cloth lettered in gilt on the front cover; cloth slightly flecked with minor wear to the extremities; endpapers foxed with slight loss to silverfish and the rear free endpaper is missing; leading edge ribbon ties appear never to have been inserted; mounts lightly cockled and occasionally lightly spotted and foxed; bottom margin of the final mount lightly stained with trifling loss to silverfish; minimal signs of age and use; overall a very pleasing copy with the photographs - and in particular the stunning panorama - in uniformly fine condition. The twelve individual photographs are captioned in pencil on the mounts: 'View in botanical gardens - showing Asylum' 'View in Botanical Gardens' 'View in Gardens' five captioned simply 'Botanical Gardens' 'Bridge between N & S Adelaide' 'near Willunga' and two captioned 'Willunga' both superb large-format prints. <p>New York-born Townsend Duryea 1823-1888 emigrated to Australia Melbourne in 1852 and commenced work as a photographer the following year. In 1855 he relocated his studio to Adelaide. By the early 1870s Duryea's panoramas royal portraits and prizes won in Society of Arts photographic competitions had made him famous 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Much more detail on Duryea may be had from the lengthy article in Joan Kerr's 'Dictionary of Australian Artists . to 1870'. However the panorama in this album is not the one described in Kerr 'a fold-out 360-degree panorama of Adelaide taken from the tower of Adelaide Town Hall in 1865 was the album's major feature' nor is it the larger panorama 'taken from the top of the GPO tower soon after it was completed in 1870'. The present panorama is taken from a local rise in North Adelaide and sweeps left to right from the hills towards the sea. All of these panoramas are very rare indeed not least because 'Duryea's studio and enormous collection of glass-plate negatives stated to number 50 000 were destroyed by fire in 1875'. This catastrophe effectively ended Duryea's career as a photographer. It must assuredly account for the genuine scarcity of material by Duryea on the open market other than bread-and-butter carte de visite portraits. <p>This album is very rare in our experience and if the available records are any guide for long before we came on the scene in the mid-1970s. Although this is the fourth example we have handled it is also only the fourth one we have seen on the open market in that time. We have inspected three other examples in institutions; all seven copies are bound similarly and contain the same panorama. However the balance of the contents varies in quantity and image selection in each instance. <p>Duryea began to advertise these albums in Adelaide newspapers in August 1866. One such from the 'South Australian Register' for 28 August 1866 reads: 'DURYEA'S VIEW ALBUMS. These Albums are neatly bound in cloth and form a beautiful acquisition either for the drawing-room table or transmission home. A PANORAMIC VIEW of the CITY of ADELAIDE and the SUBURBS three feet in length has been introduced as a Frontispiece; and as a further advantage purchasers have the privilege of choosing Photographs from a large Album containing 90 of the most interesting and picturesque Views of Adelaide and the Country. The above are open to the inspection of the public at Mr. Duryea's Studio 66 and 68 King William-street. Any of the Views mentioned above can be had separately. Photographs of Gentlemen's Country Seats Business Offices Shops &c. taken at the shortest notice by Ross's Improved Wide Angle Lens'. <p>Provenance: Edwin Ashby 1861-1941 South Australian property developer and naturalist; by descent. While Ashby was obviously not the first owner of this album its numerous images of the Botanical Gardens must have appealed to him. The fine gardens he established at his property 'Wittunga' at Blackwood in the Adelaide hills after the turn of the century were later donated to the State by his heirs and are now the Wittunga Botanic Garden.

1900128025Unley: Chas P. Scott 1900. Very Good. Unley Chas P. Scott circa 1900s.

Scott Unley S.A.'; the caption is inkstamped at the head of the recto and the verso is printed for use as a postcard. Tiny surface chip and crease to the top right-hand corner-tip; in excellent condition. Charles Scott 1878-1928 is 'Listed as photographer at 21A Waymouth Street Adelaide in directories from 1909 to 1915 his "private residence" being given as 10 Grace Street Goodwood Park' Photohistory SA website. The Art Gallery of SA gives the date '1903-04' for this image in its collection; this example with the address in Unley an Adelaide suburb near Goodwood Park would appear to have been produced prior to Scott's relocation to Waymouth Street. <p>The Adelaide 'Chronicle' for 8 September 1932 quotes a letter from F.W. Marsh formerly of Oodnadatta reminiscing about this portrait a copy of which hung 'in the strangers' room at Tattersalls Club. Well Jacky Rags when about three years old came with two other black boys early one morning to my place in Oodnadatta. When I asked what they wanted I was told that his father Charlie had killed his mother that night with a boomerang and that Jacky had come to me for protection. I kept him for a long time but when he was about 15 years old he was persuaded to ask me to allow him to go for a spell meaning he wanted to go to the camp in the bush. I let him go and later found that the older blacks had performed certain ceremonies on him from which he never recovered. He developed consumption and died a year or so later. I think living on the whites' food for so many years and then going to the bush where those to be initiated are starved until they are very weak so that the ceremony can be performed easily led to his early death. The name Jacky Rags was given him because whatever clothes he received in a day or two they would be in rags. He was a good lad'. Chas P. Scott unknown
109232The Hundred of Kappakoola sic derived from Kappakoola Hill near Wudinna on the Eyre Peninsula is the best we can do to give this item some context.
