An advertisement for the York Hotel, Adelaide, illustrated with an original photograph by Bernard Goode
The advertisement comprises a captioned card (approximately 253 × 200 mm, verso blank), with an original albumen paper photograph (upper corners rounded as issued, 140 × 160 mm) mounted in the centre.
Mount a little creased at the corners, photograph lightly foxed (and both are lightly marked); in excellent condition.
The caption reads in full 'York Hotel, Adelaide. Corner of Rundle and Pulteney Streets, C.A. Hornabrook, Proprietor'. The photograph is credited to 'B. Goode, Photographer, Rundle Street, Adelaide'. While undated, the photograph shows the hotel before it was remodelled in the 1870s; it is similar to an uncredited 1866 image held by the State Library of South Australia (B 7849). The present image is superior, as it includes two carriages and around ten figures outside, and on the first-floor verandah of, the premises. Provenance: Alexander John Morison, Town Clerk of Adelaide, 1937-46, with his ownership details and the following note in pencil on the verso: 'From Mrs Champion Hackett 2/10/39'.
