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

137300Fine. Octavo 4 pages a bifolium on the crested notepaper of Parliament House Melbourne in the original envelope marked 'Personal' and addressed in Deakin's hand to 'The Honourable Sir J. Langdon Bonython C.M.G. Carclew Adelaide' contemporary Melbourne postmark; stamp removed. Letter folded in half for posting; apart from a couple of ink blotches in fine condition; envelope with flap detached and with some pencilling on the verso. Deakin was sworn in as Prime Minister on 2 June 1909 after being elected leader of the Liberal Party which had recently formed from the 'Fusion' of his Protectionist Party with the Anti-Socialist Party. Sir Langdon Bonython a fellow Protectionist had sat with Deakin in the inaugural Parliament of Australia as a member for the Division of South Australia later for the Division of Barker. In this letter Deakin reflects on the difficulties confronted by his new government including preselections in South Australia but is generally optimistic about its progress. However his government would soon suffer a resounding defeat at the hands of Andrew Fisher's Labor Party in the federal election of 13 April 1910. <p>The letter reads in full 'Aug 11.09. My dear Sir Langdon Cockburn's very interesting description of the prose of our press delegates in England though possibly a little coloured by his natural disgust at their doctrines is obviously & substantially true. It defines their attitude of old & new always the same as is proper in a party that does not change. He very clearly perceives their policy of playing to both sides & sees when they have obtained encouragement. Your allusion to the Division of Wakefield is obscure. I have not been asked to assist & have not assisted in any way in the selection of a candidate. He has been chosen entirely on your side & by your associations. When Paddy Glynn got in he found the whole matter so far advanced in making the selection in the constituency that nothing could be done. Up to date I have not been asked to endorse Foster though no doubt we shall have to do so if required. You must be aware of this though you poke fun at me. The time has not yet come for getting into touch with the constituencies. We have not discovered whom we can rely upon or at all events how far. We are making good progress here & in NSW but the other states are still out of hand or rather none have been in order. It is a long task to attempt to get an effective control of Australia. We are gradually getting it within our immediate spheres of influence. But this is written at the table during the debate to which I have to listen with one ear & half my attention. Kind regards. Yours very truly Alfred Deakin'. <p>Deakin's entry in the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' gives some important context to these final months of his political career. 'In May 1909 he agreed to the fusion of anti-socialists Liberal-Protectionists and Forrest's "corner" group. A bewildered Fisher was curtly dismissed. Close friends still believed in Deakin's integrity but to many others his actions seemed nothing but a naked grab for power a base move to regain office at any price by a man who thought he was indispensable. The political confusion produced some of the most dramatic scenes in Federal parliamentary history. Lyne - never a friend of Deakin and now a foe - denounced his former leader as a "Judas" a charge which the vindictive Billy Hughes believed slandered the disciple. Deakin was sworn in for the third and last time as prime minister on 2 June 1909. The Fusion government given its short span of life and the few points of agreement between the uniting parties was remarkably active . The Fusion government entered the election of April 1910 confident of victory but in the event it was routed. In a heavy poll Labor gained absolute majorities in both the House and Senate. Deakin who campaigned on a mainly negative anti-Labor platform barely escaped defeat in Ballarat. Only a handful of his personal followers survived.' <p>Sir John Langdon Bonython 1848-1939 was an important South Australian editor newspaper proprietor philanthropist and parliamentarian. 'He became a follower of Alfred Deakin who wanted him to give his full time to politics; their friendship survived a sharp disagreement over the composition of Deakin's ministry of July 1905 and his disappointment that Deakin's recommendation of him for a K.C.M.G. in 1908 was not accepted. Bonython did not contest the 1906 election although the Labor Party proposed to grant him and other Protectionists immunity from opposition; he suspected that his party would soon be out of power and travelling to Melbourne for parliamentary sittings was becoming irksome' ADB. The Cockburn referred to at the beginning of the letter is presumably Sir John Alexander Cockburn 1850-1929 former Premier of South Australia delegate to the Constitutional Conventions unofficial ambassador in Britain and friend of Sir Langdon's ADB. unknown
115301Very Good. Small octavo one page on the mourning stationery of his home on the Isle of Wight Farringford House Tennyson had lost one of his younger sons in action and would lose another before the end of the war. Folded twice for posting; a few tiny marks; in excellent condition. The letter is brief enough to quote in full: 'Dear Lady Glenconner I am deeply distressed not only for myself but also for all of you. Of course one cannot but be very sorry for both of them. I have spoken to L. fully and he takes a really serious view now I hope; and has promised not to see her during the war. L. ought to protect her against herself. I cannot write more for I feel the thing too acutely. It was kind in you to write to me. Ever yours Tennyson'. Lionel and Clarissa married in March 1918; she was still only 21 years old at the time. They had three children before their divorce in 1928. Each was to remarry and redivorce again. <p>Hallam Tennyson 1852-1928 eldest son of the poet laureate Alfred later 1st Baron 'had initially sought the governorship of South Australia but hesitated when it was offered to him in January 1899: Tennyson was influenced by speculation that after Federation the post might be subordinated to that of the governor-general or even abolished. He arrived in Adelaide in April and proved popular: the press and the people saw him as hardworking competent dignified and frugal. Appointed acting governor-general on 4 July 1902 after Lord Hopetoun's unexpected resignation Tennyson was confirmed in this position in January 1903 at his own request for one year only' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. unknown
107917The five men four in butcher's striped aprons and one woman are standing on the unsealed road in front of the shop next to a horse-drawn delivery cart sign-written with the name 'A. Mount'. The vintage gelatin silver photograph image size 107 × 152 mm is on the original blind-stamped mount of 'McNeills 184 Rundle St Adelaide' 207 × 246 mm. Pencilled on the verso is '1907 A. Mount Woodside'; although we have been unable to verify these details most places in the Adelaide Hills in the Edwardian era probably did look like this. However what is decidedly most rare about this scene is that one of the butchers is of Indian or Afghan descent. unknown
