Australia's Earliest Mining Era South Australia 1841-1851 by Ian Auhl and Denis Marfleet is a richly illustrated hardcover that charts the forgotten first decade of South Australian mining. Published by Rigby in 1975, this vintage picture book pairs archival images with clear, engaging text to show how copper, lead and art intersected on the frontier.

Collectors of Australiana and mining history prize the edition for its dust-jacket artwork and the authors’ meticulous research into 1840s mines, maps and the painters who recorded them. Every spread invites slow browsing, making it as much a visual feast as a reference work on Australian history.

The copy is clean and tight, free of inscriptions, marks or dog-ears; the dust jacket carries only light shelf wear and scuffing commensurate with age. It comes from a smoke-free home and sits square on the shelf, ready for immediate display or reading.

Ideal for young adults, adults or anyone passionate about South Australia, antiquarian books or art and culture, this title adds authoritative depth to any collection of Australian mining heritage without breaking the budget.
