About This Item

Cover: As sung by Mr. Hallam of Weston & La Feuillade's Minstrels. Melbourne : W. H. Glen of Collins Street., [c.1870]. Folio, front cover with lithograph of a young girl praying beside her bed by Charles Troedel of Collins Street (mild foxing to front and rear covers), 2 pp musical notation (scattered foxing). This noted song was first published in America in 1870 and was written by Charles A White (1832-92). During 1869-70, Frank Weston, an American entrepreneur, organised four local and imported American troupes into one and hired St. Georges Hall in Melbourne, renaming it Weston’s Opera House. It was the first theatre in Australia to be devoted to the cultural movement known as Ethiopianism.  This is the first Australian edition of Put me in my little bed; copies are recorded in two Australian collections (State Library of Victoria; National Library of Australia).

About Douglas Stewart Fine Books

Douglas Stewart Fine Books is an antiquarian bookseller based in Melbourne, Australia. We buy and sell books both locally and around the world, working closely with clients to understand their collecting priorities and to source appropriate material. Our clients include libraries, galleries, museums, private collectors and fellow members of the trade.

Douglas began buying and selling books in 1995, while still in high school. He is a member of the major international trade associations, and his business is conducted according to their high ethical standards. For many years Douglas has been a Board member of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Antiquarian Booksellers (ANZAAB); he is also a Mentor for the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers.

Douglas is currently the President of ANZAAB.

Our stock at Douglas Stewart Fine Books is diverse: we have rare books across all fields, but our strengths are in travel and exploration – particularly of Australia and the Pacific – and Australian art. In addition to rare books, we deal in all types of heritage material, including photographs, manuscripts, maps and globes, and fine art. Every month we issue a new online catalogue of New Acquisitions, and recommend that you join our email list to be the first to see what's available. Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding any works you see online – we are always happy to assist with your enquiries.

We love meeting new people and welcome visitors to our shop, which is open six days a week. If you cannot make it to Melbourne, you can find us at major fairs in London, New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Toronto, San Francisco, Boston, Hong Kong or Sydney. We're pleased to invite you to any of these exhibitions as our guest.

Last, but not least, we buy books – from important single items to entire libraries – and we'd be pleased to provide advice on the best way to sell your collection.
