Magazine. 48p. including covers, 8.5x11 inches, illustrated with photos of nude young men, artwork and ads, very good magazine in stapled pictorial wraps. Gay People's Union at Stanford, Huey Newton's Letter etc. S.I.R. was an extremely important homophile organization in the 1960s-70s and "Vector" was the main gay magazine for…the Bay Area during those years. The magazine began life as a newsletter in 1964, merely several folded and or stapled sheets with news and calendars. The late Sixties found the magazine concentrating more on local and national news of interest to gay men. The final years saw the magazine turn more to a standard gay men's magazine with photos of young men from around the Bay Area.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Adelaide, Government Printer, 1884 [second edition]/ 1883. Octavo, xvi, 307 pages with 56 illustrations (mainly full-page wood-engravings, versos blank) plus 2 large folding maps (one a chromolithographic geological map). Brown cloth slightly rubbed; extremities a little rubbed; light…wear to the head of the joints and the corners (with the bottom two bumped); short repaired tear and a crease to the foot of the title leaf (as a result of a production flaw); tears to the large folding map expertly repaired; a very good copy (internally barely touched). In this second edition 'a few small inaccuracies are corrected, and one or two passages relating to the Jubilee Exhibition it was proposed to hold in Adelaide are omitted . A few illustrations are added in connection with the chapters on the Aborigines and the Fauna'. In fact, three plates are deleted from the first edition (numbers 18, 25 and 46 in that list) and ten new plates appear in this edition (numbers 2, 4, 16, 27 and 42-47). Plates 42-47 are wood-engraved versions (by J. Bruer) of plates that first appeared in Taplin's 'The Folklore, Manners, Customs, and Languages of the South Australian Aborigines' (1879). There are portraits of Wewat-thaleri and Waldaninyeri (in Taplin these were original albumen paper photographs), and four illustrations based on original artwork by Aboriginal artists - 'War Dance' (by an unknown artist), and 'Hunting Scene', 'Hunting Party', and 'Group of Animals' (all by Yertabrida [Yertebrida] Solomon). In Taplin these four plates are lithographs, and we suggest that Bruer has based his wood-engravings on the Taplin versions, not on the original artwork. The erratum at the foot of the list of illustrations notes that the attribution of 'Hunting Party' to Solomon has been omitted. [For more information on this early Aboriginal woman artist, refer to our Catalogue 106A]. Ferguson 16310 ('Two maps in cover pockets').

Melbourne : George Robertson & Co., 1894. Octavo, lettered wrappers (chipped and torn with loss to spine, repaired by an expert paper conservator), title page with silverfishing and loss, conserved with Japanese tissue, presentation inscription from the author's daughter to Alfred Rowan dated at Adelaide, 1907 (some loss to the…inscription), pp. [vi], 42, (2 - blank); frontispiece portrait of the author, inscribed in pen in a later hand 'from the author's daughter', one full-page photogravure plate of the Forlorn Hope foundering in a storm by Scott Barry (Adelaide), one of the figures identified with a cross and inscribed 'J. P. Stow' underneath; old central crease, otherwise a good copy, clean throughout. Rare second edition of the Voyage of the Forlorn Hope, one of the greatest maritime narratives in Australian history. Stow's memoir describes his epic voyage in an open boat around the northwest coast of Australia from the fledgling settlement at Adam Bay at the mouth of the Adelaide River to Champion Bay, north of Geraldton. Having travelled from Adelaide to Adam Bay as a private agent for land purchases during the South Australian Government survey in the Top End in 1864-65, Jefferson Stow and a number of other men essentially found themselves stranded at the new settlement following the departure of most of the surveying party in the Bengal, which sailed for Adelaide via Koepang in May 1865. Together with surveyors Arthur R. Hamilton and William McMinn, Stowpurchased a small two-masted vessel (similar to a whaleboat) which had been one of the boats from the barque Bengal,with the daring plan to sail round to theCamden Harboursettlement in Western Australia. They intended to hug the coast as much as possible, since they had no chronometer and could not determine longitude. At Camden Harbour they would be able to replenish provisions and might, with any luck, intercept a Fremantle-bound ship. They recruited a crew of four other men for the dangerous voyage: sailors John White and James Davis, and labourers Francis Edwards and Charles Hake. (Note: both Hamilton and Hake had pioneered photography in the Top End, probably being the first men to use a camera in the region, and their precious photographic equipment was carried on board). The men named their tiny boat The Forlorn Hope, and set out in her from Adam Bay on 6 May 1865. The intrepid expedition managed to reach Camden Harbour on 29 May, just as their supplies ran out. The newly-established settlement there had proven to be a dismal failure, but the men were able to re-provison and to acquire a ship's compass which would help them navigate south to Champion Bay and the relative safety of the settlement of Geraldton, where they made landfall on 8 July. Hamilton and Hake remained at Geraldton to take photographs; the other fiveForlorn Hopeexpeditioners continued on to Fremantle by the barge Sea Bird, arriving there on 20 July. In Perth their reports of the settlements at Adam Bay and Champion Bay and of their epic voyage created much interest. The party then journeyed overland by mailcart toKing George Sound. Stow and at least two of his companions then departed from Albany for Adelaide on the Rangatira, which arrived at Port Adelaide on 11 August 1865. Stow's account was first printed in the Adelaide Advertiser newspaper between 21 August and 1 September 1865. (Stow joined the staff of that newspaper in the same year, and became its editor in 1876). It was first published separately on 21 September 1865. The 1894 edition is a longer and more detailed narrative, dedicated by Stow to his"dear comrades Arthur Hamilton and William McMinn". Ferguson 16311.
