Album, 32 x 28 x 5 cm, of ninety-two (92) black and white photographs presented to William James Gall of the official trips by James Stopford. The photographs feature James Stopford and William James Gall, as well as others possibly during the period from 1923 to 1928. Stopford was Home Secretary in the Queensland Government from 1923 to 1929. Gall worked as under-secretary for home affairs and protector of Aborigines from 1913 until possibly 1926.

Only the last six photographs have notations indicating that the photographs were taken by/belonged to E.W. Dabelstein. The album has the title embossed on the cover with the photographs pasted, generally two per page, onto the leaves which are made of green mid-weight card. There are some panorama photographs which have been folded to fit in the album.

Gleanings from Australian verse

  • F3453
  • Item
  • 1940

Manuscript book of seventeen illuminated and illustrated poems by Australian authors. Father Leo Hayes commissioned the book of his favourite Australian poems from artist Ella Lilian Pedersen. Hayes wanted it done in the manner of the illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages. Each of the 17 poems chosen by Father Hayes has been written in calligraphy with accompanying illustrations depicting the location or subject of each poem. Pedersen crafted a tooled leather binding with ornamentation in pewter studded with semi-precious stones, including opals and agates, collected by Father Hayes when he was parish priest in Crows Nest. The original cover was damaged, and the central panel was replaced in the early 2000s by book restorer Anne Clonnan with one remaining gemstone.

Poems: The first comers there / Margaret Curran. -- Carnarvon deep gorges / Bertha Butler. -- Love in a cottage / Daniel Henry Deniehy. -- The frog pool / James Devaney. -- Toowoomba dark purple / George Essex Evans. -- Where the pelican builds / Mary Hannay Foott. -- The Waradgery tribe / Mary Gilmore. -- Taralga / Mary Gilmore. -- When winter comes to Queensland / Alice Gore-Jones. -- My country / Dorothea Mackellar. -- Colour / Dorothea Mackellar. -- The gentle water bird (for Mary Gilmore) / John Shaw Neilson. -- Old salt / Lydia M. D. O'Neil. -- The way of it / D. L. Waraker. -- In September Queensland Bush / D. L. Waraker. -- Rain magic / Frances Dunn. -- Waratah and wattle / Henry Lawson.
