Two cracked.24 slides dated 1930, 1931 and 1933 and annotated by hand 'W.H.M' with details and names of the subject. 15 with hand colouring. These particular slides mostly relate to the Badjaling & Yoting aboriginal community and Badjaling Mission, 111 miles east of Perth.Subjects include:Bob Mead, Richard & Vera, Badjaling 1931Uncle Lionel, Badjaling May 1931Sing-song Badjaling 1930Miss Belshaw Miss McRidge 18.8.1930 (The Badjaling Mission founders)Frankie Stack (baby) Badjaling May 1931Bough Shed (church) Badjaling Feb 1931School children at drill Badjaling Feb 1931Two of the school boys at Yoting with an 8ft carpet snake 18.8.1930Miss Belshaw with her first class at Yoting June 1930.W.H.Mathews was the registrar in Perth, Western Australia. He was also a keen naturalist and president of the Perth Naturalists Club. His son Arthur G Mathews was a United Aborigines Mission missionary at Ooldea in S.A. and at Mount Margaret, Warburton and Gnowangerup in W.A. A larger collection of 209 slides by the Mathews' is held at the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS).5 x slides labelled: T.W.Cameron, Slide Specialist, 430 Bourke Street, Melbourne.The remainder of the slides have virtually no other annotation or signature. The subjects are nearly all aboriginal, white men feature in a few images. There are many posed aboriginal groups, some tribal in nature, most in Western attire. We can probably assume most were taken around the Badjaling Mission or possibly the Mount Margaret Mission at Morgans where Mathews' son was a missionary, although there are several coloured slides showing boats, a beach view and two of a sea-going vessel under sail which must be coastal. Also uncoloured slides of groups of aboriginal men and boys in water and on a vessel holding captured turtles. One of a man mending a sail but his ethnicity is unclear. Another of a man on a sailing boat annotated 'Stumpagee'. One slide is a map of Western Australia with locations marked in red. These possibly correspond to Badjaling and other missions, King Sound is also marked which could be the location of the coastal images.

Lot 566
A Turkish carpet, principal colours green, blue, red and beige. +/- 310 cm x 260 cm. CONDITION REPORT: In our opinion the carpet probably dates from the first quarter of the 20th century. It is generally in fairly good condition the only issue being wear to the fringes on both ends which should be visible from our images. The worst affected area is in the middle of one side where the fringe wear has affected the edge of the carpet border. The right hand bound edge of the carpet is in good order. The left hand has some wear to the loop stitched edge in a few isolated areas. The wear is fairly universal although it is slightly flatter on the centre rectangular panel. We cannot see any signs of significant perishing or any holes either current or imminent. The colours are generally strong with only minor fading to one corner.
