Original Joseph Lycett – Mount Wellington – near Hobart Town – Van Diemens Land -1826

An original hand coloured aquatint from the scarce “Views in Australia, or New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Land”

By Joseph Lycett published in London in 1826 by J Souter of 73 St Pauls Church Yard.

Lycett was a convict artist of great distinction – he had been sent out for forgery. He was pardoned and later returned to England where he again went about his forger’s ways – he took his own life in prison. His artistry is unique and charming and he produced 50 images of New South Wales mainly in and around Sydney and a number of beautiful views in Tasmania.

A strong colourful Lycett – most sought after view

Price $690.00 unframed – rare and very collectable

Cased Anemometer By Baird & Tatlock

A pretty good example of a low speed air meter by top maker Baird & Tatlock. Likely designed for and used in the coal mining industry.

In its original felt lined leather case with attachment screwed to case lid as required. The only blemish is a pressure crack on the face and some paint loss on the blade casing.

The instrument still works well which is somewhat unusual as discard was one way these instruments left their place of work.

The instrument comes with a sliding braking system which protects the delicate gearing. Overall a good example now hard to find

Bowie – Fashion – 1980

Super original copy of this iconic single …. Scream like a Baby on the B side. From the album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps).

Ooh bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do..

Robert Fripp from King Crimson played the lead guitar. Bowie coined a new meaning for the word “Fascists” which likely amused him.

David Bowie will never be forgotten ..

The Story of Battery Point – Street by Street – Donald Howatson

Produced by the author in 2012. A must have for anyone interested in the history of delightful upmarket and historic Battery Point, Hobart. Not rare and quite often reproduced.

Comb bound, 62 pages, nicely illustrated and a first “printing” for sure … some we see the images (which are many and important) deteriorate as further copies are made by the xerox method.

Blue protected covers with various ornament front and back. Our favourite is the shipyards with the pubs a close second … many have closed – such a pity.

Battery Point more to the point.

The Story of Central Hobart – Street by Street – Donald Howatson

Produced by the author in 2015. A must have for anyone interested in the history of the City area of Hobart. Perhaps the most interesting of a series of booklets published over time by Howatson. Not rare and quite often reprinted or copied may be the correct expression.

Comb bound, 62 pages, nicely illustrated and a first “printing” for sure … some we see the images (which are many and important) deteriorate as further copies are made by the xerox method.

Red protected covers with various ornament front and back.

Our favourite is the history behind the Cat and Fiddle Arcade … super stuff. A very good as new copy.

Hobart its City History – beats them all.
