**CHECK ON TWO ADDITIONAL ALBUMS. Internal evidence suggests they were taken in the mid- to late-1990s by someone with a passion for South Australia's colonial architecture, from workman's cottage to squatter's castle, as well as the more commonly recorded churches and public buildings. Although this extensive gallery of our built..... More

The albumen paper photograph (94 × 61 mm) is mounted on the printed card (104 × 63 mm) of The Adelaide Photographic Company. There is an example of the same image in the State Library of NSW (a gift from a family member, John Howard Johnson); it is dated January..... More

This photograph is reproduced in 'The Home of the Blizzard' (Volume 1, page 102), with the caption 'Adelie Land. Weddell seals asleep on pancake ice'. Several pages earlier, Mawson writes: 'Seals and penguins on magic gondolas were the silent denizens of this dreamy Venice. In the soft glamour of the..... More

An almost identical image, taken from the same position on the yard-arm, is reproduced in 'The Home of the Blizzard' (Volume 1, page 72). While this print does not have the Fine Art Society label on the reverse, we presume it derives from the original 1915 Australian exhibition of Hurley..... More

The strength of Australian cricket at this time further unbalanced the contest, resulting in a 4-0 thrashing in the series' (Webster). This is hardly surprising, considering that ALL of the Australians in this particular team went on the..... More

Many of the photographs appear to have been taken at Vickers' Brooklands factory near Weybridge, Surrey (the famous banked race track is visible in many images), and possibly also at the nearby Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, Hampshire. Nearly all are dated, ranging from 1937 to 1946. The gelatin silver prints..... More
