Barossa Valley (5 results)

Adelaide (1945). 8vo. Orig. illust. wrapper. (76pp.). Profusely illust. with num. plates, fold. map, and fold. col. plan.

Paperback. First Edition. Angaston, 'Barossa News' Limited (printed by Hussey and Gillingham, Adelaide), 1911. Quarto, 120 pages, extensively illustrated (including many pictorial advertisements). Slightly trimmed front panel of the two-colour pictorial title-wrappers mounted on binder's cloth over boards, with portion of the rear wrapper (with the pictorial 'Drink Yalumba Ports' advertisement) mounted on the outside rear cover; light vertical tidemark to the leading third of the last ten leaves, with some light related cockling to the rear half (and with very light cockling to the bottom corner throughout); first and last leaves a little blemished (foxed, creased, short sealed tears, with surface loss to a handful of words); overall a very presentable copy. A very rare item of local history: we have handled only two other copies since 1976, and both were in worse condition than this one. The content is far more substantial than its title suggests; there are thirteen pages of well-illustrated text devoted to the fruit and vine industries, for example.

Quarto, 120 pages, extensively illustrated (including many pictorial advertisements). Three-colour pictorial title-wrappers (with additional advertising on the other three surfaces); expert conservation to the wrappers (small chips infilled, and discoloured tape removed, albeit leaving behind some stains); later ownership name on the front cover; minimal signs of age and use elsewhere; overall, in very good condition. A very rare item of local history, with content that is far more substantial than its title suggests: for example, there are thirteen pages of well-illustrated text devoted to the fruit and vine industries.

Condition: Very Good. Angaston, C.C. Yates [Photographer], [circa 1920s]. An original gelatin silver photograph (159 × 113 mm), on the original mount (246 × 202 mm, with the blindstamp of the photographer in the bottom right-hand corner). Mount a little foxed; tiny surface chip to the emulsion on the right-hand edge; in excellent condition. The details identifying the scene are written in pencil on the verso of the mount. Light Pass (as it is known today) is in the Barossa Valley, 3 kms from Nuriootpa. The tiny hamlet is home to two Lutheran churches (the Immanuel, and the Strait Gate). The Immanuel Lutheran Church explains 'What makes us unique' on its website: 'We enjoy special services such as Harvest Festival, Vineyard Service, Easter Services, Seed and Soil Service, and many others throughout the year'.
