83654First Edition. Hardcover. The prints 195 × 245 mm or the reverse in uniformly fine condition are tipped in on album leaves rectos only; these are cord-bound into the cloth-covered album now slightly rubbed and marked. They are all individually captioned and signed 'Hugo Keil ARPS' in pencil on the wide bottom margins; undated but we suggest the early 1940s. The Northern Territory Archive Service has an album containing the same twenty-five images captioned but apparently unsigned. The catalogue record for that album NTRS 3050 states that 'Hugo Keil was a photographer who worked at the Appropriation Ledger Section of the Allied Works Council in Alice Springs during the Second World War. Hugo gave this wonderful album of Central Australian images to Phyllis Prideaux later Johnson which has come into NTAS as part of the Phyllis Johnson collection. Hugo took many photographs of Central Australian scenes including images of Mount Gillen the Hugh River Palm Valley and the Spotted Tiger Mine at Harts Range'. <p>An article in the 'Barrier Miner' 28 October 1938 makes mention of a forthcoming 'exhibition of Bromoil Prints by Hugo Keil of the Crown Studios Adelaide' and a review in the Adelaide 'Advertiser' 21 August 1940 of The Adelaide Camera Club's exhibition of pictorial photography notes that 'Hugo Keil shows fine timber sharply etched in "Grandeur of the North"'. hardcover
108073The very fine portrait visible image size 545 × 395 mm in its original ornate gilt frame external dimensions 740 × 595 mm is exquisitely hand-painted and signed by the famous colonial photographer Townsend Duryea 1823-1888. His original label is affixed to the paper backing on the verso of the frame 'T. Duryea Artist Photographer 66 and 68 King William Street Adelaide' and in our opinion he has created a masterpiece as both artist and photographer with this work. James Hurtle Fisher commenced practice as a solicitor in London in 1816 and 'was drawn into the colonizing movement in 1835. He was selected as resident commissioner one of the most important offices under the South Australian Act . second only to the governor'. Fisher 'left England in July 1836 with the governor's party in the "Buffalo" arriving on 28 December 1836 at Holdfast Bay where the official oaths were administered a proclamation was read and a ceremony marked the beginning of settlement. <p>In January 1837 Fisher erected his reed hut and Land Office near the survey camp of Colonel William Light at the north-western corner of the new capital site; the destruction of these temporary buildings by fire on 23 January 1839 caused both men serious loss. Fisher had been allowed to draft his own instructions which were not shown to Governor Sir John Hindmarsh. Disputes between the two men over their respective powers had begun on the voyage and were soon revived in the new Council of Government and more violently outside and led in February 1837 to the Resident Magistrate's Court binding the participants over to keep the peace towards each other. The new governor George Gawler was appointed both governor and resident commissioner a radical departure from the principles on which the colony had been founded' ADB. <p>Fisher returned to his profession and became a leader of the South Australian Bar. In October 1840 he was elected first mayor of Adelaide; in 1860 he became the first resident South Australian to be knighted. Townsend Duryea was at the King William Street address from 1858 until his illustrious career as a photographer 'was cut short when his studio and entire collection of 50000 negatives were destroyed by fire on 18 April 1875' ADB. We suggest as a date for this magnificent portrait 'circa 1870'. unknown

1866135300Adelaide: Townsend Duryea 1866. Adelaide Townsend Duryea printed circa 1866; original negative circa 1863. An albumen paper photograph 90 × 59 mm mounted on the original card 102 × 62 mm with 'T. Duryea Photographer to His Excellency 66 King William St. Adelaide' printed on the verso under the Vice-Regal Coat of Arms. 'Townsend Duryea began making cartes de visite in late 1862 or early 1863 and was advertising his "new" style of carte in May 1863' Bob Noye AGSA website. The portrait taken in Duryea's Adelaide studio shows Stuart after his epic crossing of the continent of Australia: he is visibly depleted - emaciated even - with his injured hand positioned awkwardly in his lap. The accident that caused this permanent injury occurred on 25 October 1861 the day the main party of the successful sixth expedition departed Adelaide. Stuart later described it in a letter to Charles Sturt: 'the accident I received from one of the horses being in a state of strangulation and endeavoured to release him reared up struck me in the temple knocked me senseless and springing again with his hind feet on my right hand has disabled me for life' Ian Mudie: 'The Heroic Journey of John McDouall Stuart' 1968 page 171. It is a most evocative image of the great explorer towards the end of his life. <p>The negative number 18592/3 is inscribed in ink on the verso below Duryea's imprint. This particular imprint dates to around 1866 see Noye and the negative number is consistent with this date. Noye notes that 'A carte with a number belonging to a much earlier number range would be a reprint from an old negative held in storage'; this suggests that this photograph is not printed from the original negative perhaps lost damaged or destroyed. This further suggests that this photograph is printed from a negative produced by rephotographing an existing print of the portrait of Stuart taken earlier by Duryea. This would explain why Stuart has what appears to be his left hand in his lap: the image is printed in reverse. <p>It was likely produced after news of the explorer's death in London on 5 June 1866 had reached Adelaide. A small item of local news 'Mr T. Duryea's Studio' in the 'South Australian Register' on 23 November 1866 lends weight to this possibility: 'A visitor to Adelaide may spend a very pleasant and profitable half-hour in Mr Duryea's photographic studio where a number of elegant photographs in every style of art are displayed. Mr. Duryea also exhibits some superior examples of photographs worked up in water-colours which are soft and some of them exquisitely finished. Amongst these there is a fine portrait of the late J.M. Stuart the explorer'. This carte de visite is clearly not that exhibition piece but it is most definitely a fine portrait. Townsend Duryea unknown
