• Lot Description:
  Barr-Smith, Mabel F. and Jean Barr-Smith (compiled by). An Australian Birthday Book
  Compiled by M.F. and J.B.S. Printed for Private Circulation Only. Octavo, with twelve mounted photographs (the first with a few tones); original gilt-lettered calf, rebacked retaining most of the original spine, all edges gilt. Adelaide, Privately Printed, 1883.
• Notes:
  A very rare private publication of considerable photographic interest from the soi-disant ‘aristocratic’ circle of Adelaide. Comprising verses for each day of the year facing a space for autographs. Those who have signed this copy include establishment names such as Dutton, Downer, and Hawker, as well as the astronomer Charles Todd. The photographs are views in Adelaide, a “native wurley”, and portraits of the compilers and friends representing the four seasons en tableau vivant.
