Summary

[General description] Head and shoulders portrait of Archibald Henry Peake, seen in three quarter view, showing a robust middle aged man, greying at the temples and wearing a thick moustache. He is wearing a flower in his buttonhole. He was Liberal Premier of South Australia between June 1909 and April 1920. Remembered as one of South Australia's most able Premiers, his greatest achievement was the locking of the Murray River in co-operation with New South Wales, Victorian and the Federal Government. He also heavily influenced the division of the state's politics into a two Party system.
