25015'Royal Mint Melbourne Australia / 21 May 1875'. Barton who was born in London joined the Royal Mint’s Melbourne branch as one of two assayers on its opening in 1869; in 1887 he was promoted to Superintendent and in 1895 to Deputy Master holding that position until his reitrement in 1904. See his entry in the Encyclopaedia of Australian Science and Innovation. In case Barton has misspelled the name the recipient may be William Dawson Grubb 1817-1879 or his son Frederick William Grubb 1844-1923 who have a joint-entry in the Australian Dictionary of National Biography. 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. Signed ‘Robert Barton’. In very good condition lightly aged and folded twice for postage. Begins: ‘Dear Grubbe / I met the writer of the enclosed letter not present after you left & he told me that between us we could not have advised you to go to a worse place for the sport you want than Echuca I feel therefore that I have been instrumental although far from my intention in leading you a wild duck chase.’ He has been informed by ‘Singleton’ that ‘there are very few Kangaroo if any near Echuca & the duck are impossible to get near’. He suggests that Grubbe takes the steamer to Albury and proceeds as Singleton directs ‘& you are in a country abounding with Kangaroo & splendid duck shooting’. Barton is enclosing a note from his friend ‘to his brother who is managing the “Walla Walla†station’ and whom Grubbe will find ‘a very decent fellow. He is a batchelor sic I believe living in a large house. Ask at Albury if you are anywhere near Tumbarumba Caves because if so they are one of the finest sights of the Colonies.’ Barton wishes he had known this information before Grubbe left ‘as then you might have gone to Albury via the new line but if you elect to go from Echuca you will at all events see the river Murray’.

These substantial land promotion albums appear to have been designed to tout the advantages for potential homesteaders investors and visitors to Australia from the end of the Roaring 20’s into the Great Depression. Nearly 200 photos depicting bustling cities & shipping ports mines manufacturing burgeoning housing sports flora & fauna and some of the indigenous Australian Aborigine peoples extol the possibilities in Oceania’s economic engine. Following World War I Australia had seen massive changes in population and increasing economic and social changes following the devastation of World War I and the worldwide influenza pandemic with over 215000 killed and wounded between both catastrophes. With the onset of the Great Depression economic activity slowed and unemployment soared to nearly 20%. These albums include several photos of the newly constructed Canberra Provisional Parliament House completed in 1927 with bare land and little infrastructure nearby except for the Hotel Canberra. Designed originally to hold politicians and visitors when the parliament was in session the Hotel was built by contractor John Howie and designed by John Smith Murdoch. Several photos of Sydney Australia the streets a flapper driving her sporty 1927 Chevrolet Capitol AA Roadster and the famed beaches of Sydney. Several photos depict the Australian Lifesaving Clubs which began in 1907 as surf life saving with the Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club but which denied full membership to women until 1980. One particular photo depicts a young comely Australian woman surfer leaning against her wooden longboard only about 15 years after Isabel Letham’s famed ride with Duke Kahanamoku in 1915. Many of the Sydney images reveal a capitol city in transition including horse-drawn cars alongside 1920’s automobiles and electric trolleys and trams. Also featured are photographs of the New Castle Steel works the Lithgow Steel Works whose blast furnace site closed in 1928 and the Mt. Boppy gold mining process mill depicting the cyanid vats to extract the ore. Still others show the Burrinjack Dam construction which had begun before World War I but not finished until 1928; horse-drawn silver ore mining wagons in the Barrgorang Valley from the Yerranderle Mines along roads to Camden NSW; orchards long the McDonald River and raising rabbits for the New South Wales Wool & Fur Co. Ltd. at Castle HIll near Parramatta. Also featured are many aerial and street photos of Queensland Brisbane Docks Victoria Bridge Queen Street with streetcars horse breaking in outback stations grape & cotton harvesting children attending “Bush Schools†and more. Still more reveal the bustling wharves at the Freemantle sheep sheering railway yards boaters on Henley-on-Yarra Flinders Street Station wheat harvest and farming and even the one of the famed wheat windjammers “The Carnandale.†Several of the photos depict the indigenous Australian Aborigines with one of the captions noting that 60000 “Full-Blood and 19000 half-caste Aborigines with 40000 still nomadic and others working sheep and cattle stations.†Another photo is included of two young Maori girls as well.The second album also contains views of a traveling salesman or traveling “Bust Hawker†featuring a horse-drawn wagon with sides hinged up and shoppers as well as aerial photos of gardens banana plantations date farms logging Kerri Trees in Western Australia and an entire section devoted to photos of Australian fauna. These depict Wombats Kangaroos pink & white Cockatoos Cassowary birds Wallabys Barn Owls Koala Bears Black Swans Opossums a Platypus Lyre-birds Kokaburra birds Australian penguins and others. Identified photographs by John Beattie Jr. from Beatties Studio Hobart Tasmania include Mt. Rugby from Balmoral Beach Big Ben Gum Tree on the estate of W.L. Clennett Saw Mill Proprietor Port Esperance whose height was nearly 250 feet as well as Dobson’s Basin Geeveston depicting a remarkable group of fen tree bowers. Originally founded in the 1840’s by the Anson Brothers John Beattie d. 1930 son of a Scottish-Australian emigre photographer worked for them in the 1880’s and then purchased the business renaming it Beatties Studio. He operated the studio for decades was the photographer who first developed all of Amundsen’s original photos of his South Pole Expedition in a single day and was an active proponent of the indigenous Aborigine population often defying popular opinion and authority over their historical mistreatment. Sadly a 1933 fire destroyed the studio and most of the negatives but it was reconstituted and many negatives and images rediscovered afterwards.
