Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Adelaide, W.K. Thomas & Co., Printers, 1914 to 1919. Octavo, eight issues, ranging between 48 and 80 pages (plus plates in some of them. Several of the plates reproduce photographs relating to Australians in the war, including a folding panorama of North Beach, Anzac, and several snapshots taken in the field). Title-wrappers slightly worn and marked (and two issues have minimal expert conservation); minor signs of age and use, but overall, in very good condition. Spanning the First World War, this run offers powerful insights into the effects of the war on the school community. Among the usual sporting fixtures and school news are first-hand accounts of important actions sent back to Australia by 'old boys' on active service, and numerous short obituaries. Recurring sections include a nominal roll of former pupils in uniform, details of their awards and medals, and an ever-growing roll of the wounded, missing and killed. Particularly noteworthy are accounts of: (1) The Gallipoli landings (from several soldiers); (2) The Battle of Cocos; (3) Light Horse actions in the Palestine; (4) Naval actions in the Persian Gulf; and (5) Trench warfare on the Western Front. The names of decorated old scholars appear regularly, including Arthur Blackburn VC. The ties of the Old School seem to have been strong even on the battlefield. In the obituary for Lieutenant Eric W. Talbot (10th Battalion), it is noted that 'On April 24th [1915] the night before the landing he sat with Col. Price Weir, who made use of his draughtsmanship to prepare the landing plans. In the attack at dawn he first had command of scouts, and being allowed to choose his men, he selected a team entirely of old "Saints"' (Number 90, page 61). The issues present in this run are Number 86 (May 1914), Number 90 (August 1915), Number 92 (August 1916), Number 94 (May 1917), Number 95 (August 1917), Number 98 (August 1918), Number 101 (September 1919), and Number 102 (December 1919). Offered with them is the 'Programme of the Annual Sports held on the School Oval on Saturday April 29th, 1916' (small octavo, 19 pages; a little marked). [9 items].…

Zustand: Very Good. [Adelaide, St Peters College Foundation], 1985. Oblong folio (315 × 460 mm), [28] leaves comprising 14 pages of text (last page the colophon) and 14 full-page illustrations (reproductions of drawings done by Joseph Choate in the late 1940s) plus the school crest in colour on the verso of the front flyleaf. A duplicate copy of the first plate ('Old School House'), suitable for framing, is loosely inserted. Blue buckram with the school crest in gilt on the front cover; corners slightly bumped; an excellent copy with the thin card slipcase (a little worn and slightly damaged). 'Joseph Choate was the Art Master of St Peter's College from 1936 to 1955, prepared a comprehensive set of drawings and historical statements about the buildings of the [school]. These were to have been published as a book but his death precluded this from eventuating. His drawings and accompanying historical statements have survived and the majority have been gathered together by David Dridan', a student and colleague of Choate's, and himself an accomplished artist. A limited edition (upper limit not stated) in full dappled blue morocco, signed by David Dridan, was also issued.…
