Eric Matson and his wife Edith the founders of the Matson Photo Service. The images show Cairo and various locations in Palestine including Jerusalem Bethlehem Nazareth Tiberias Sea of Galilee Nathanya Tel Aviv the Jordan river Haifa Beirut and the Dead Sea.

[PHOTOGRAPHY - LATIN AMERICA].
Album with photographs engravings and drawings relating to Madeira Tenerife Brazil Argentina Uruguay and Chile.
1885. Contemporary gold-tooled dark purple quarter morocco brownish-purple pebble-grain cloth sides with a paper label "3" mounted on the front. Oblong ca. 38 x 27.5 cm. With 20 albumen prints 43 plates engraved and lithographed and 3 drawings. Remarkable album documenting the travels of HMS Calliope 1837-1883 a British warship in the first few years after her launch. The ship first sailed to Madeira and Tenerife after which she crossed the Atlantic Ocean to visit various harbour cities in Brazil Argentina Uruguay and Chile. Many of the illustrations and photographs include handwritten annotations about the ship's journey with the exact dates of when she arrived where. As such the album was likely compiled by someone who sailed on the ship during these years possibly a crew member. The album contains photographs drawings and plates relating to the places the Calliope visited between 1838-1840. It starts with photographs of Madeira and Tenerife like the Loo Rock in the harbour of Madeira locals carrying a tourist down the Pico Grande the town of Güímar in Tenerife and an age-old Dragon Tree. As the ship's next destination was Brazil the album contains a number of photographs and illustrations of Rio de Janeiro as well as a drawing of a picnic at the summit of the Corcovado. The Calliope then sailed to Buenos Aires and Santa Fe arriving in August 1838. This part of the album contains a drawing of a gaucho and 6 beautiful photographs by Samuel Boote 1844-1921 one of the most important photographers working in Argentina in the 19th century. His work shows the interior and exterior of the St. Felicitas Church in Santa Fe as well as daily life in this city. The ship then carried the British ambassador from Argentina to Montevideo arriving in June 1839 before continuing to Valparaíso. The final pages of the album contain a map of Montevideo views of Valparaíso and the mountains nearby and a drawing of a bridge.The plates in the album were taken from other works such as Journal of a voyage to Brazil 1824 by Maria Graham and A history of the Brazil 1821 by James Henderson. The photographs were taken in the 1880s which means the album must have been compiled several decades after this particular voyage of the Calliope. However as some of the annotations mention that a location looked different on the plate than when the Calliope arrived the album must have been compiled by a crew member.The Calliope sailed to China after the visit to Valparaíso to serve in the First Anglo-Chinese War 1839-1842. After she sailed to New Zealand and primarily operated in that region until she was converted into a floating chapel in 1855 and deconstructed in 1883. With the yellow bookseller's label of "A & N.C.S.Ld Stationery Dept. 105 Victoria St. S.W." mounted on the back pastedown. The leaves and plates are somewhat foxed likely lacking a plate or drawing on the recto of leaf 16. Otherwise in good condition. hardcover

An Edwardian photograph of the staff of a butcher's shop possibly in Woodside in the Adelaide Hills
The five men four in butcher's striped aprons and one woman are standing on the unsealed road in front of the shop next to a horse-drawn delivery cart sign-written with the name 'A. Mount'. The vintage gelatin silver photograph image size 107 × 152 mm is on the original blind-stamped mount of 'McNeills 184 Rundle St Adelaide' 207 × 246 mm. Pencilled on the verso is '1907 A. Mount Woodside'; although we have been unable to verify these details most places in the Adelaide Hills in the Edwardian era probably did look like this. However what is decidedly most rare about this scene is that one of the butchers is of Indian or Afghan descent. unknown

An exceptional Grand Tour souvenir album composed of 26 American Colony albumen photographs of sites in the Holy Land from the Jaffa Gate to the Stations of the Cross Jericho Bethany and the River Jordan to Bethlehem and the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.

With 26 mounted sepia-tinted albumen photographs sized 8.5 x 11 in. nearly all w/tri-lingual captions photographer’s imprint & inventory number w/in negative at lower fore-edge minor creasing to a few fore-edges slight over-exposure to a couple images at the lower margins. Contemporary calf-backed olive/myrtle wood beveled boards binding Jerusalem “five-fold†cross carved on center of front cover minor scuffing rubbing very minor split at center glue seam front & back covers minor chipping to lower rear corner brown morocco rebacking still a VG exemplar w/ gift manuscript note “From Genevieve March 2 1922†on front pastedown presented to James Duval Phelan 1861-1930 banker philanthropist and former San Francisco Mayor and later California Senator 1914-1920. Ironically the album appears to have been presented to the rabid yellow peril anti-Japanese & Chinese politico while he traveled around the World through Japan China Hong Kong India Egypt Palestine Constantinople and Europe with Phelan’s Phoenix rising from the ashes San Francisco bookplate on front pastedown. This marvelous souvenir photo album composed of Ottoman-era albumen images captured not only recreated iconic religious scenes but also captured Jerusalemites in city streets and the Holy Land in the opening decades of the 20th Century. The album opens with the image of the “Street Scene inside Jaffa Gate†which captures Frederick Vester & Co.’s American Colony shop and photography studio in the right fore-ground of the image with bustling street and clock tower prominent in the center of the image. The American Colony produced created developed printed hand-coloured and sold thematic photographs stereoviews panoramic photos postcards custom hand-coloured glass lantern slides along with deluxe thematic souvenir albums such as this one. The series included here which incorporates a view of the room for the Last Supper and a nicely composed image of a beautifully terraced Garden of Gethsemane follows with the Stations of the Cross. The often incorporate residents in their daily lives watering donkeys pilgrims praying at Stations merchants and those wandering through the gates and winding streets of the ancient city. The photographers have captured the baroque & ornate Station Calvary the Church of the Holy Sepulchre a view of the Dome of the Rock and a teeming scene of women men and families seated and standing praying at the Wailing Wall. The American Colony emerged from the evangelical “End Times†beliefs inculcated by Horatio Spafford and Anna Larssen Spafford in 19th-Century Chicago who despite their profitable lectures the support & encouragement of Dwight Moody and at best questionable financial chicanery shipped out for the Holy Land in 1881 ahead of their creditors for $ 100000. Eventually the largely “celibate†commune controlled by “Messages from God†to Anna Spafford and through lectures and charity merged with Olof Larson’s “Doomsday†Larsonite believers along with Frederick Vester and a number of photographers began operating the American Colony store near the Jaffa gate and vastly expanding their tourist photographic operations. By 1910 they had several employees and the noted American Colony photographers such as Elijah Meyers and Lewis Larsson extended their talents across Palestine capturing not only the River Jordan but life in Bethlehem Bethany Syria Damascus and many other locations across the Ottoman Empire controlled areas. Although the American Colony projected a harmonious community bound together by simple Christian piety the sect was tightly controlled by Anna who not only restricted and monitored all correspondence by Colony members ordered shunning of those who ignored her dictates and maintained direct control over their finances. She also enforced marital celibacy until she “received a Message†that her daughter Bertha and Frederick Vester could marry in 1904.

Ramsay Smith' and captioned in his hand 'At Port Vila - New Hebrides'.

Occasional small corner chips and minor wear to photos.

His first visit in 1916 Adams. using a Kodak No. 1 Box Brownie nearly depleted his pocket money developing film; this we learn from a charming letter to his Aunt Mary reproduced on front cover verso. He joined the Sierra Club in 1919 and was "keeper" of the club's LeConte Memorial Lodge for four consecutive summers; the club was vital to Adams's early success as a photographer and published his first photographs and writings in the club's 1922 Bulletin. This biography is a portrait of Adams through his letters and images. New York Graphic Society,, hardcover

[PHOTOGRAPHY EROTICA SADOMASOCHISM]. RABIER, Hector (compiler).
Binding title: Peines et supplices.
France/Belgium 1910. Contemporary black cloth with the title "H. Rabier - peines - supplices" on the spine. 4to 23.5 x 20 cm. Album containing 24 small contact prints 2.5 x 25 cm and 153 albumen or gelatin silver prints 65 x 8 cm both mostly numbered and captioned in French on the photograph 16 photographic reproductions of paintings or drawings 17.5 x 13 cm 2 albumen prints of nudes and 17 silver gelatin prints of sadomasochistic scenes 10.5 x 15 cm. Captivating erotic photo album containing both original photographs and reproductions on the themes of "punishment and penance" which in most cases means flagellation. This specific album was probably compiled by a certain Hector Rabier whose name is inscribed on the spine and was possibly a young Belgian. Among the reproductions of prints in this album can be found various images with an erotic nature showing the flagellation of women by men and women and non-erotic images of the torture and punishment of female heretics and witches including reproductions of artworks. A few series do not involve women and show various types of corporal punishment in the French colonies of Algeria and Indochina and flogging in the British army. A series of 27 images though not explicitly showing scenes of corporal punishment shows life in the Parisian women's prison of Saint Lazare which also doubled as a hospital for the city's prostitutes. 12 photographs show wood engravings of the cruel murder and torture of nude women by Cossacks most including the pins used to hold the engravings in place. Of the original photographs two "academic nudes" show a woman from behind kneeling on top of a chair or hanging face down over a chair or cabinet. The other 17 photographs show a semi-nude woman being bound or tortured by "oriental" men or monks. A montage of small images suggests that the woman-and-monk photographs probably suggesting a witch or heretic being tortured by the inquisition formed part of a larger collection on this subject. Although these photographs were obviously intended as pornographic images they are hardly more explicit than contemporary historical paintings at the Salon or the images in popular histories.With the spine somewhat worn and discoloured the pages of the album very lightly foxed some of the photographs partly detached from the page and some of the larger photographs slightly worn and discoloured at the edges; overall both album and photographs are in good condition. hardcover

Camille Silvy: Photographer of Modern Life.
<p>Photography Haworth-Booth Mark. Camille Silvy: Photographer of Modern Life. Los Angeles: The J. Paul Getty Museum 2010. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. The French photographer Camille Silvy 1834 –1910 was one of the most original artists of his time. More than any other nineteenth-century photographer Silvy exemplifies Charles Baudelaire's idea of the artist as an interpreter of modern life. This book explores Silvy's innovative efforts to master industrial-scale portrait production alongside fineart photography in his popular London studio. Presenting sitters in modern dress was a new phenomenon and Silvy was a pioneer in the creation of the carte-de-visite a photographic visiting card. Combining research into exhibition prints still lifes and street scenes as well as the intimate beautifully lit and posed cartes-de-visite the book demonstrates Silvy's extraordinary originality and his life as a man of both art and commerce. </p> The J. Paul Getty Museum, hardcover

[Photography – Abolition – Reconstruction] Phillips, Wendell; Sonrel, Antoine
Carte-de-Visite Portrait of Wendell Phillips c. 1871-1874
Boston Massachusetts: Antoine Sonrel 121 Washington Street 1874. Albumen photograph on original mount with printed Sonrel studio backstamp. No other examples of this pose located in online institutional collections. Fine condition. A studio portrait of the abolitionist and reform leader Wendell Phillips 1811–1884 shown seated at a table holding a small bundle of papers or pamphlets. Phillips one of the most prominent antislavery orators in the United States continued to play an active role in national reform politics after the war advocating for Black civil rights during Reconstruction and supporting federal enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Phillips argued that emancipation was incomplete without political equality pressing for Black suffrage land redistribution in the South and continued federal protection of freedpeople. During the late 1860s and 1870s he remained a visible public lecturer on Reconstruction policy and also aligned himself with the labor reform movement briefly serving as president of the American Anti-Slavery Society and later supporting the Greenback movement.<br /> <br /> The photograph was produced by Antoine Sonrel 1827–1912 a French-born artist and photographer who worked in Boston from the mid-1850s. Sonrel was originally trained as a lithographer and produced illustrated plates for American scientific and educational publications before establishing a photographic studio. From 1871–1874 according to local directories published during those years he operated at 121 Washington Street in Boston advertising portrait photography alongside lithographic and illustrative work. This example appears to represent an unrecorded studio pose of Phillips by Sonrel distinct from the better-known Brady and Warren studio portraits circulated during the same period. A particularly nice image of Phillips in his later years with fine contrast. Antoine Sonrel, 121 Washington Street unknown

Civil War Full plate Tintype: Young boy in Confederate Greatcoat
Nashville 1860. Photography. Very good condition. A striking full plate tintype portrait of a serious young boy perhaps only 5 years old dressed in military style in a gray great coat standing with one arm resting on the back of a couch and one leg crossed in front. <br /> <br /> Double breasted great coats such as this one were issued during the Civil War to be worn over a uniform during the winter and featured stand up collars and double rows of buttons on the breast and a large cape. The cape either came to the elbow for infantry men or to the wrist for cavalry men. This boy's cape extends to just above his sleeve cuff suggesting it was styled after a Confederate cavalry great coat. A name is signed in ink at the top right side "Tracy". <br /> <br /> The cheeks hand colored and highlighted with pink and his hair hand colored blonde.<br /> A whole plate image 6 1/2 x 8 1/2".

[PHOTOGRAPHY - ALHAMBRA]. MAUZAISSE, Charles (photographer).
Collection of 13 photographs of the Alhambra in Granada.
Granada 1865. All albumen photographic prints 18 x 24 cm are mounted on black card stock 29.5 x 21 cm. Collection of 19th-century albumen photographic prints of the Alhambra in Spain by Charles Mauzaisse ca. 1823-1885; fl. 1860s. The beautiful images show many different parts of the Alhambra especially of the court and palace of lions including the central fountain and the pavillion with the oriental dome that was added in 1859 and later removed. The Alhambra is a medieval palace and fort of Moorish or Muslim rulers of the Kingdom of Granada in Andalusia in the South of the Iberian Peninsula. Additionally the collection contains one photograph of the tomb of the Catholic monarchs which is located in the Royal Chapel of Granada.During the 19th century tourism was booming. Travellers wanted to take proof of their travels home and often did so in the form of photographs. Many photographers took the opportunity to sell their work to tourists. Charles Mauzaisse son of the painter Jean Baptiste Mauzaisse traveled to the south of Spain and fell in love with Granada where he would develop his professional activity alongside other renowned photographers such as Laurent Coutourier and Dubois. All of them - aware of the lucrative field of work that the image of the Alhambra offered - settled more or less definitively in the city just as Masson or Count Vigier did in Seville or Clifford and Laurent in Madrid.The prints are slightly yellowed and some images were possibly overexposed or have faded slightly all prints show clear signs of having previously been mounted on another surface. Some prints have small tears in the edges. The print of the 2 Moroccan women in the Alhambra is probably by a different photographer but the name has been cut off. The collection gives a beautiful insight into 19th-century photography in the Iberian Peninsula - showing off the beautiful Arabic- and Muslim-influences architecture in Granada. unknown
