For further descriptions of place names and subjects contained in each album, SEE details below. The albums contain small black and white prints, mostly undated, with captions by W.R. Robjohns. Also sepia and postcard prints, and a few hand-tinted prints. A small number of images were taken by other photographers, several of whom have been identified by Robjohns. Images depict Adelaide suburbs, city scenes and country towns, with an emphasis on rural landscapes, parks and reserves, rivers, reservoirs, streets, houses, churches, businesses and shop fronts, and public celebrations and processions. Also included are images of the Robjohns family on picnics and holiday outings, and their homes, cars and pets. A number of photos were duplicated or enlarged by Robjohns and appear in more than one album.
Signed tablecloth belonging to Ada Ekers
Digital photograph of a signed tablecloth, identified in the centre as 'December - Mt Barker - 1902'. The table cloth is linen, and signatures are written in indelible pencil and then embroidered with various stiches in red perle cotton; scalloped edge finished with close red button-hole stitch. There is some deterioration with age but all signatures are still intact. The tablecloth is believed to have been started by Elizabeth Cornelius (nee Walker), who then passed it to her daughter, Ada Ekers (nee Walker). The tablecloth was used to record the signatures of visitors to the Cornelius and Ekers houses, and includes many members of both families, as well as friends. Ada's signature 'Ada G. Ekers', is just below the centre. After Ada died in 1938, the tablecloth was inherited by her son Laurie Ekers and daughter-in-law Elsie Ekers (nee Plaisted), who continued to tradition of the tablecloth until it was full, in the mid 1940s. [Adapted from 'The Signed Tablecloth (1902-1940)' by Ron Ekers].
