Reminiscences of the Early Days. Personal Incidents on a Sheep and Cattle Run in South Australia ...
Perth, V.K. Jones & Co., 1916.
Octavo, 67 pages plus 3 plates and a double-page folding map of Hindmarsh Island.
Overlapping card covers; first and last pages offset; small light erasure at the head of the title page; a fine copy in a custom-made buckram slipcase with a leather title-label on its spine.
The balance of the title sets the scene: 'Where the Writer, Mrs. J. Fairfax Conigrave (a daughter of one of South Australia's well-remembered pioneers, Mr Charles Price, of Hindmarsh Island) spent her childhood'. This item is very rare indeed; this is only the second copy we have handled in over 40 years. A revised edition appeared in 1938; it is also very scarce.
