John Riddoch Rymill 1905-1968 polar explorer and farmer was the leader of the expedition; he was born in Penola South Australia a grandson of the pioneer John Riddoch. 'Rymill's party proved that Graham Land was part of a continental extension now the Antarctic Peninsula. They discovered a southern permanently frozen channel later named King George VI Sound islanding Alexander I Land now Alexander Island and extending to the Bellingshausen Sea. The B.G.L.E. logistics were innovative in Antarctica. Outstanding sledging with dogs especially over sea ice was backed by air support and depot laying; the use of a motor launch probing ahead to plot a route for "Penola" through uncharted rock-strewn waters was original and successful. The "Penola" covered 26896 miles 43283 km mostly under sail' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Chatto and Windus hardcover

1845109128Adelaide: Andrew Murray Printer Rundle Street Sold by C. Platts Bookseller Hindley Street . 1845. First Edition. Paperback. Adelaide Andrew Murray Printer Rundle Street Sold by C. Platts Bookseller Hindley Street . 1845. Octavo xii last blank 106 pages plus a folding etching but lacking the folding frontispiece map noted by Ferguson. Original bright green wrappers with the full title page details repeated on the front cover with the date of publication now added; wrappers a little marked but expertly conserved the front cover is now lined on the verso stabilizing a long tear and filling in some minor loss to the edges; title page a little marked; occasional chips and dog-ear creases to the uncut edges; trifling signs of age and use but essentially a very agreeable copy. The State Library of South Australia has a copy of this item with the map and it's a beauty - a hand-coloured lithograph 322 × 213 mm produced in 'Goodwood nr Adelaide' in 1845. However reading between the lines a case may be made for stating that not all copies were issued with the map. Its absence here notwithstanding this is by any account a very rare publication and worthy of serious consideration on at least two counts. The folding plate is an etching paper size approximately 220 × 280 mm of 'Ridley's Reaping Machine. S. Australia' signed and dated in the plate 'NRF 1845'. The artist is Frederick Robert Nixon circa 1817-1860 who arrived in Adelaide in May 1838 to take up a position as assistant surveyor. In 1845 he published 'Twelve Views in Adelaide and its Vicinity South Australia. Drawn etched and printed by F.R. Nixon'; it was the earliest South Australian plate book. He was a self-taught artist who 'had to manufacture all his machinery for preparing and pressing his etchings . they are superior as works of art and accurately as well as pleasingly depict the scenes which they represent 'The South Australian' 21 February 1845. Nixon left Adelaide in May 1846 bound for Mauritius where he died in 1860. Kerr's 'The Dictionary of Australian Artists' 1992 records that the Ridley etching was the only other one he is known to have produced. There is a lengthy chapter 10 pages on the Aboriginal inhabitants and the chapter on horticulture contains seven pages on vines and wine-making with the information credited to M. Vaillant see page 58. Ferguson 4014. Andrew Murray, Printer, Rundle Street (Sold by C. Platts, Bookseller, Hindley Street ...) paperback
