197889135Melbourne Victoria Australia: Christie Manson & Woods Australia Limited Christie's 1978. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. The format is approximately 7.25 by 9.5 inches. 71 1 pages. Laid in is an Additional Lots listing bid sheets and after the auction results. The commercialization and global expansion of Christie’s and Sotheby’s post-World War II laid the foundation for many methods and practices adopted in art auctions in Australia particularly after the arrival of Christie’s in 1969. The key figure in establishing an Australian branch of Christie's was the Australian-born William Spowers who essentially co-founded it with Len Voss Smith in April 1969. Spowers had been educated at Geelong Grammar in Victoria and joined the Army in 1942 transferring to the British Army the following year. While serving in the army overseas he subsidized his pay by buying books and manuscripts and selling them in London. This is how he first encountered Christie's which he joined after leaving the Grenadier Guards in 1960. In 1970 he was Director of the Department of Books and Manuscripts at Christie's in London as well as a Director of Christie's Australian branch. Spowers had close family ties with Australia and his relationship with his godfather the then Governor-General Lord Casey was instrumental in the appointment of Christie's initial Australian representatives; Sue Hewitt and Joan McClelland were approached on the recommendation of Casey’s wife after Spowers consulted her. Spowers believed that a Sydney branch of Christie's could provide a service to Australian collectors by securing Australiana Australian art books and manuscripts in Europe and auctioning them directly in an Australian saleroom. Harold Jack Finnis 1889-1980 administrator was born on 29 August 1889 at Parkside Adelaide. Educated at Malvern Grammar and Unley Public schools and at Muirden College for Business Training in 1905 Harold entered the State public service. In 1911 Finnis had moved from the Produce Department to the Agriculture Department; four years later he was assistant-secretary to the Advisory Board of Agriculture librarian and editor of the Journal of Agriculture; by 1921 he was secretary to the board. The work of the board grew and he claimed responsibility for two innovations: the establishment of women's branches 1917 and a press news service. In 1925 he was appointed secretary of the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia. Next year he directed his first show at Wayville. As secretary until 1955 and director-secretary 1955-59 the 'unflappable' Finnis presided efficiently and firmly over increasingly larger and more complicated annual shows rising attendances the construction of buildings new uses for the grounds and to some extent also over his governing council. He was appointed M.B.E. in 1939. During World War II the showgrounds were used for defense purposes. From 1940 to 1946 Finnis was secretary of the Business Administration Committee which reported to the Department of Defence Co-ordination. In 1947 he resumed his administration of the R.A.H.S.S.A.'s affairs oversaw the restoration of buildings and grounds and despite continuing austerity held the first postwar show. His personal qualities 'contributed towards the marked progress' of the organization. With his work on the Libraries Board of South Australia 1942-74 and the board of commissioners of the National Park 1943-63 his civic service became more varied and demanding. He was a governor 1947-69 of the Adelaide Botanic Garden a council-member 1950-75 and president 1950-53 of the State branch of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia president 1957-68 of the Pioneers' Association of South Australia and chairman 1961-75 of the State working party of the Australian Dictionary of Biography. As office-bearer member or founder he was associated with numerous other organizations and became known as 'Adelaide's busiest man'. A commanding figure over six feet tall Finnis had a no-nonsense time-saving manner. Gardening and collecting Australiana were lifelong interests; he also found time for historical research and gave talks and published papers on his findings.
