[Music Posters]
Posters created by Alex Innocenti for various productions. See below for details of items. The State Library holds a collection of music, video, photographs, records, CDs/DVDs and memorabilia and ephemera which is a representation of the music industry in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. An example includes this collection of posters which were designed by Alex Innocenti, the entrepreneur behind Cellar Blues Promotions. Alex continued to create the graphics for promotion materials over an almost 30 year period. The posters are a graphic depiction of a point in time, with images of the bands and artist, painted and hand drawn in the graphic style of the day, well before the capacity to produce such promotions on a computer desk top. Some of the bands he promoted included Black Sabbath, Doug Parkinson In Focus, Cat Stevens, Daddy Cool and Billy Thorpe. Alex was also the driving force behind Adelaide's "Woodstock", the 70s music festival held at Myponga. Posters for the festival are included in this collection.

S.A. Housing Trust home, Rosewater
Homes erected by the S.A. Housing Trust home, Rosewater in 1937. Photograph taken in October 1937. Homes to be let for 12/6d. per week to workers earning the basic wage. A newspaper clipping from The Advertiser, Nov. 3, 1937 says: "Sir William Goodman, also expressed his satisfaction with the houses and said that he knew people who were paying three pounds and three pounds ten shillings a week for flats which had fewer conveniences and comforts than the houses which the party was inspecting. He added that the houses had been built to conform in every way to the Building Act requirements, except that the bricks in the inner wall had been laid edge on. This step had been taken with the full approval of the local boards of health at Port Adelaide and Enfield, and with the special mortar used, the inner walls were just as stable as walls built in the orthodox way. After the Rosewater houses had been inspected the party motored to Croydon Park North where 38 houses are being built, calling in on the way at Rosewater Gardens, where a start was made yesterday on the construction of the first of another group of 38 houses. All of the houses being built under the scheme are semidetached and of three main types, each being varied with three colour treatments, making nine variations so that in a row of nine houses there are no two alike. Each houses consists of a living room, two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, hall, wired-in sleepout, laundry, tank and stand, clothes line and posts.The fittings include six electric lights, two power points, cast enamel bath and hand basin, bath-heater and shower, kitchen sink and draining board, cupboard under sink, stove recess and shelf, wash troughs, and 10 gallon built -in copper. The allotment on which each house stands is at least 3,900 square feet, the minimum under the Building Act. Each house costs 450 pounds and this amount covers the cost of land, house, sewers, fencing, architect's fee, overhead administration, roads, footpaths, and other costs. One of the houses at Rosewater has been furnished by an Adelaide firm, the whole house being fitted out with attractive furniture and furnishings for less than 70 pounds".

Sir John Hindmarsh
Rear Admiral Sir John Hindmarsh was a naval officer and the first Governor of South Australia. He arrived in South Australia on board the "Buffalo" in 1836. Hindmarsh wanted the colony to be settled at Port Lincoln. Colonel Light chose the site of Adelaide, named for Queen Adelaide, King William IV's wife. Hindmarsh was governor for little over a year, an unfortunate episode in an otherwise distinguished career. His position was anomalous from the start.

Panorama of Adelaide
360 degree panorama of Adelaide photographed by William S. Smith, May 1917. Some views from this panorama are published in The Observer newspaper, 26 May 1917, pages 24 and 25. The newspaper reports; "With the completion of the second huge chimney stack at the Electric Light Works on East Terrace, the enterprising photographer of The Observer seized the opportunity to take a panoramic view of Adelaide. With great difficulty he climbed the ladder inside the structure, and then, setting his camera, secured the pictures presented above. The top photograph gives a fine idea of the stretch of plains from Hutt Street to the foothills, with the Victoria Park Racecourse in the middle distance. The bottom plate, which joins the other on the right, gives a striking birdseye view of City buildings, with the General Post Office and the Town Hall on the extreme right. The new Education Block, in Flinders Street, will be readily recognised just to the left of the Post Office. The panorama when joined together measures nearly four feet."
