Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
Adelaide, [The Author], 1945. Octavo, [viii], 72 pages plus 20 plates (including 4 folding panoramas). Cloth; a fine copy with the Steele armorial bookplate ('Prudentia et Animis'). Number 29 of only 200 copies numbered and signed by the author. Charles Brown Fisher (1818-1908) was the second son of James Hurtle Fisher; he arrived with his father, the first Resident Commissioner of South Australia, on the 'Buffalo' in December 1836. He became one of the biggest pastoralists in Australia, and the book tells of the development of country from the Mt Schanck run in the south to Victoria River Downs and Port Darwin, as well as properties along the Murray and Darling, and in western and northern Queensland. 'Overcapitalization, falling prices and six bad seasons forced Fisher into bankruptcy in 1895. His liabilities were nearly £1,500,000 against assets of £786,000. Destitute, he retired to Melbourne where in November 1896 friends took up a subscription which Franc Falkiner headed with £500. Later Fisher moved to Adelaide and died at Glenelg on 6 May 1908. Predeceased by his wife Agnes Louisa, whom he had married in 1855, and survived by their only son, he left an estate valued at £1600' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography').
