Mr. Detmold was born in Hesse-Detmold, Germany, in 1828, and arrived in this colony from New York in 1855. Though a fancy boxmaker by trade, Mr. Detmold commenced business here as a book binder. His business increased rapidly, and soon he took larger premises in Swanston-street, near Lonsdale-street, and shortly afterwards he purchased Mr. Jones' bill-posting business, and added it to his own. Mr Detmold's affairs continued to prosper, and eventually he found it necessary to give up the binding and bill-posting and confine his business solely to importing paper for the trade. Although Mr. Detmold's business affairs prospered in the manner described his domestic matters were not so fortunate. About 14 years ago he lost three of his children from scarlet fever. This proved a severe blow to Mr. Detmold, and afflicted him to such a degree that in a few months' time his hair turned grey. On account of tho unhealthiness of the situation of the house he lived in when this occurred, Mr. Detmold was compelled to move to a house he had built on the Punt road, and in this latter residence he lived for some 10 years. Then he erected a handsome mansion at Toorak, near Mr. Reginald Bright's place. Here he resided until his death. Mr. Detmold was a self-made man. He owed his success in life to the possession of rare business tact and untiring energy. He had a remarkable memory, and was an excellent linguist. For some months past Mr. Detmold had been ailing, his complaint being a malignant disorder of the liver. Mr. Detmold leaves a large family and many friends to mourn their loss.Original publicationBendigo Advertiser (Vic) , 5 August 1844,p 3___________________________Mary Martin web site, 2023https://www.marymartinbooks.com.au/our-story... It was 1945 when she first rented a room in the Brookman Building in Adelaide. Mary Martin Bookshop became known for mail orders, bargain books, and a big collection of art books and artwork. Readers were also drawn to the woman described as a ‘little wren’, who would serve tea and coffee to her customers, encouraging them to browse and make her shop their second home. The bookshop became a hot-spot for students, creatives and intellectuals.A year after opening, Mary invited a friend to join the business. Max Harris AO was a poet and the publisher of the Angry Penguins journal – and a central (if unwilling) figure in one of Australia’s most infamous literary hoaxes. He was also one of Mary’s closest friends and she was ‘known to steer him through the streets while he walked about reading books.’Just like the original Mary Martin herself, we are independent and passionate about literature… With Harris on board, the bookshop expanded. But while the store grew, moving to bigger premises, Mary discovered another passion.In 1947, a dancer called Ananda Shivaram brought Indian dance to Australia and changed Mary’s life. Inspired by Shivaram’s dance company – which performed Kathakali, a form of classical Indian dance influenced by the tales of the Hindu epics and the Puranas – Mary became a passionate student of Indian culture. Mary made increasingly frequent trips to India, often finding items to sell in the shop (art, gifts, even tea). Then, in 1962, she decided to move to India permanently and sold her interests in the bookshop to Max and his wife Yvonne.Mary spent the rest of her life in India, living first in Bombay (now Mumbai), before moving to Bangalore where she set up a mail-order book business. In 1965, Mary moved to Kotagiri in the Nilgiri Hills, where she found a new cause, the Nilgiris Adivasi Welfare Association (NAWA). However, her health had begun to deteriorate and Mary passed away on January 25, 1973 at 57 years of age.At home, the shop grew under Harris’s management, with new shops in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Harris's own career as a writer, editor and commentator had also established him as a prominent figure in Australia's social and literary landscape.___________________________NEWSPAPERS:1854Detmold, late of Swanston St… to 85 Bourke St.1855Detmold at 116 Swanston St.1856, JanuaryW Detmold bookbinder .….163 Swanston street.1858https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/7147469VICTORIA INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY.Awards made by the Judges of the wares shown at the Exhibition of this Society, held February, 1858:ARTISTIC SKILL, To William Detmold, bookbinder, 163 Swanston-streot, for various specimens of bookbinding,-Gold medal....1878,,,ATHLETIC CLUBS' HOTEL163 SWA'NSTON-STIIKET.The position of this exceedingly comfortable Hotel is most favorable for visitors and my supporters may rely upon my unceasing attention to their comfort.And a liberal patronage I most respectfully solicit.G.
