Notable South Australians; or, Colonists - Past and Present

Adelaide, Carey, Page & Co., Printers ("Published under the Author's own immediate Supervision"), 1885.

Octavo, viii, 288, (24, advertisements) pages plus 17 lithographs and 2 laid-down albumen paper photographs.

Tan stippled cloth very slightly rubbed; a fine copy.

The lithographs are a frontispiece view after Skipper, 15 full-page portraits and one plate containing three portraits; the photographs are of the Governor (and dedicatee) Sir William Robinson (140x88mm, by Hammer and Co.) and Loyau (98x58mm, by George and Walton - facing the camera, looking a little to his right). This is another variant (see Holden 71) of an item usually found with the author's photograph only (and to further complicate matters, the latter occurs in at least three variant forms as well!).
