ANZAAB December HIGHLIGHTS CATALOGUE 2020 A joint catalogue from ANZAAB A Message from the President Dear friends, The booksellers of ANZAAB are delighted to present you with our Highlights Catalogue for December, an outstanding showcase of some of the treasures selected from our members’ shelves and picture rails. This catalogue is full to the brim with heritage Australiana, modern literature, fine art, exquisite manuscripts and more; it is a wonderful reflection of our members’ diverse interests and areas of expertise. This year has forced all of us to face challenges we never dreamed of, and of course we will have more to overcome in 2021. We reflect on those who have endured hardship and loss during the global pandemic, and pay tribute to those who have worked at the front line to protect us against this silent foe. Despite lockdowns, closed borders, erratic postal services and many other trials, we booksellers have remained committed to our love of our books and indeed to our customers, who are after all the main reason we have chosen the path that we are all on. Even during the most difficult of times, our appreciation of antiquarian books does not diminish. If anything, we gain a deeper understanding of how significant this field can be in placing the narratives of our own lives into historical perspective. We miss seeing our customers, but know that this is for the best, as we must all do our part in keeping this virus in check. Take the time to enjoy the books on your shelves and the art on your walls; take another look at these things and remind yourself of how special they are. We are privileged as booksellers to be the temporary custodians of these things, but it is you, the collector who will gain real value from them every day. Enjoy this catalogue as a celebration of our shared love of books, and perhaps you will find something precious which deserves a place in your home. Please keep in touch with us: we are all working hard to continue unearthing new collections, and would love to know how you are faring and in what way we can be of help. Last, but not least, we would also like to introduce to you our newest member, Malcolm Moncrief-Spittle of Renaissance Books in Dunedin, an experienced bookseller with a wide range of interesting travel books, New Zealand and Maori history and many other rewarding finds as well.

Unusually in the original full morocco binding, heavily decorated in gilt image of the Takehe. First edition, limited to 500 copies (including Walter Buller, the son of a missionary, was born in New Zealand in 1838. He trained as a solicitor and showed himself to be extremely capable, amassing a considerable fortune. Buller’s contribution to New Zealand ornithology is immense and his books, of which this is the first published, are an evocative account of the destruction of an important and distinctive avifauna. This work is regarded as one of the best, and most underrated, of all nineteenth-century colour plate bird books, notably illustrated by the acclaimed Johannes Kuelemans, and this edition is said to be his best work. Limited edition, in the best binding of most acclaimed 19th century colour plate bird books. In very good condition. Our research estimates that only approximately 40 copies were thus bound. $38,000 AUD Special De-Luxe edition of this already rare work 4 THE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION OF ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLERS ANAH DUNSHEATH ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLERS WEBBER, JAMES VIEWS IN THE SOUTH SEAS from Drawings by the Late James Webber, Draftsman on Board The Resolution, Captain James Cooke, from the year 1776 to 1780 London, Boydell & W.

Minor marginal stain on first plate; lower marginal corner torn from another plate, otherwise the plates are perfect and the colour extraordinarily bright and clean with no foxing. Bound in contemporary brown half calf and cloth, in very good condition Watermark dates on the plates vary from copy to copy we have researched recorded copies at Mitchell library Sydney and elsewhere indicates that our copy, as offered, compares favourably with other copies. All collations are similar and all references confirm that the plates bear the latest watermark date at 1820. The watermarks in our copy are clearly marked 1814 which makes our copy more desirable than other copies for sale in the past $79,900 AUD Very few copies survive complete, our copy is of the best combination of bibliographical features. Known as the most striking, but the last of the many important books relating to Cook’s Voyages. THE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION OF ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLERS 5 ANAH DUNSHEATH ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLERS PHILIPPINES 1709 London: H. Clements, 1709. 8vo. Disbound. Amongst other papers, ‘An Extract Of Two Letters From The Missionary Jesuits, Concerning The Discovery Of The New Philippines Islands’ With A Map Of The Same (Folding Map) browning. Disbound.

Barrow ( 1764-1848) was an English traveller and naval administrator. He was notably a member of the Macartney embassy to China in the 1790s, and founder member of the Royal Geographical Society. The letter is headed Leigh Park, Havant and written to John Murray the publisher. The letter expresses doubt as to the veracity of Jean Baptiste Douville’s journey as published in the narrative “Voyage au Congo”, later shown indeed to be fraudulent. Barrow, here is possibly the first to expose the French ‘explorer’. “I cannot understand how Monsr. Douville got to the places he professes to have been at and to describe…..... if he be a true man he has hit upon a part of Africa most desirable to be known, as it probably embraced the Sources of all the Rivers South of the Cameroons - but I must see more before I can say any thing.” $5,200 AUD An extremely interesting item THE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION OF ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLERS 7 ANAH DUNSHEATH ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLERS DOUGLAS, ALFRED LORD AUTOGRAPHED PHOTOGRAPH Autographed sepia photograph dated 1938. 21 cm x 16 Cm.

Email: [email protected] William Hann’s Northern Expedition set off on 26 June 1872 from Mount Surprise, a pastoral station west of Townsville, to determine the mineral and agricultural potential of Cape York Peninsula. The expedition was plagued by disharmony and there was later strong criticism of the leadership and its failure to provide any meaningful analysis of the findings. The authors (a descendent of Norman Taylor, expedition geologist, and a descendent of Jerry, Indigenous guide and translator) use documentary sources and traditional knowledge to establish the role of Jerry in the expedition. They argue that while Hann acknowledged Jerry’s assistance to the expedition, his role has been downplayed by later commentators.

How does the effect differ? Shade a piece of white paper using a thick piece of charcoal then use an eraser to draw into the tone to reveal white lines and shapes. Experiment with unconventional materials such as shoe polish and mud on flattened cardboard boxes. Use water on a paved surface to create ephemeral drawings. Document your drawings before they disappear. How do the documented forms differ from the originals? How did drawing with an eraser, shoe polish, mud and water compare to drawing with a pencil? What do you need to consider differently as an artist? How did handling these materials make you feel? Did you prefer one material to another? Create a line drawing with a pencil, a tonal drawing with charcoal and a loose ink drawing with a brush – all depicting the same subject. Compare your finished drawings. What were some of the positive and negatives of each approach? Is there one you prefer, and why? Draw without taking your drawing utensil off the page. What was challenging about this exercise? Draw something from observation without looking down at your drawing. Are you pleased with the result? What did you learn? Create a series of abstract pencil drawings using colours that reflect the way you feel.

  • Inge King Eulogy

    Inge King Eulogy

    Inge King Memorial Service NGV Great Hall, Monday 9 May 2016, 10:30 am I’m deeply honoured to be speaking today about Inge’s extraordinary career. I’m conscious of there being many others eminently qualified to speak, including Professors Judith Trimble and Sasha Grishin, each of whom have published eloquent monographs on Inge, and Professors Margaret Plant and Jenny Zimmer, who have both written informed, extended essays for two of Inge’s earliest survey exhibitions. In addition the NGV’s curator of Australian art, David Hurlston, and former NGV curator and recently retired director of the Geelong Gallery, Geoffrey Edwards, have both worked closely with Inge in the sensitive presentation of two retrospectives held here at the gallery, in 1992 and 2014. In the presence of such a wealth of knowledge and experience, I’m frankly humbled to have been asked to speak. I’d like to briefly mention how I came to know Inge, if only to contextualise my appearance here. Inge was arguably the best-known member of the Centre Five group, which forms the subject of my PhD thesis. I began reading about her work in 2008, while still living in Ireland and planning a return to Australia after a nine-year absence. The reading prompted faint memories of seeing her work at the Queensland Art Gallery while still a student in Brisbane. The following year, six months after embarking on doctoral studies at Melbourne University, I finally met my appointed supervisor, Professor Charles Green, who had until then been on sabbatical. One of the first things he said to me at that meeting was: ‘Now, you do know I’m Inge King’s godson, don’t you?’ Well, no, I didn’t.

    Surveyors-General, Government Geologists, Printers, Ministers, Etc

    Lists of British, Australian and New Zealand Surveyors-General, Government Geologists, Printers, Ministers, etc useful to cataloguers and researchers for the dating of Australian and New Zealand maps. Compiled 2005, with selected amendments to Feb. 2020 by Brendan Whyte, Assistant Curator of Maps, National Library of Australia These lists have been compiled as a reference to assist in dating Australian and New Zealand maps by means of the government officers and other officials named on them. The lists are not necessary complete, and are not intended to be definitive, but rather comprise a working document. It is hoped that users of these lists will add to them, helping to complete the lists already included, as well as adding new ones, so that a complete and comprehensive set of lists can eventually be made available to map librarians and other interested parties. Much information has been collected from various internet sites, but for reasons of space not all such references are given. Where a source provided most of the information given, it has been referenced at the top of that list. However, a number of sources were used for several lists and these are given below, rather than repeating them atop each list to which they contributed. The updates since 2010 cover mapping officials per se. The lists of Ministers have not been updated as their names no longer seem to occur on published maps as they once did.
