[PHOTOGRAPHY - EGYPT], SEBAH, Jean Pascal
Collection of 34 albumen prints of Egypt.
Cairo 1888. 34 albumen prints ca. 22 x 27 cm mounted on cream cardstock ca. 28 x 35.5 cm. Remarkable collection of 34 stunning photographic prints of Egypt all numbered titled and signed in the negative by photographer Jean Pascal Sébah 1872-1947 who owned the leading studio for Orientalist photography. He was even named the official photographer of the Sultan of Turkey together with his business partner Polycarpe Joailllier 1848-1904. The majority of the images in the present collection show streets and buildings from lesser known Egyptian cities and scenes of daily life. Larger collections of Sébah's work are relatively rare on the market.Sébah continued the business of his father Pascal Sébah 1823-1886 one of the first photographers working in Egypt. Pascal rose to prominence because of his well-organized compositions careful lighting and quality of his prints. The majority of his photographs are of tourist destinations and locals. Jean Pascal inherited his father's good eye but was more interested in depicting lesser known locations. His photos of people also appear more spontaneous. The present collection includes photographs of El-Souroughieh street and the Khalig canal in Cairo the Virgin Mary's tree in Matariya a local with a buffalo a group of seated men in a mosque a sugarcane market locals working on a sugarcane field a group of boys fishing and the hustle and bustle along the Nile.With a small purple ownership stamp of an anchor in mirror image and the letters "S A" near the top edge of one of the photographs of the Nile. The cardstock is very slightly foxed and yellowed and has somewhat warped from past temperature fluctuations. The prints have somewhat yellowed around the edges but are otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Saretzky The history of photography online. unknown

[PHOTOGRAPHY - MIDDLE EAST].
Collection of eleven snapshots from the Middle East.
Iraq 1920. Kept in a clear plastic sleeve. With 11 snapshots all ca. 6 x 9 cm. Collection of 11 snapshots from the early 1920s likely taken by a British soldier stationed in the Middle East. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly where these photographs were taken but presumably in Mesopotamia present day Iraq. Great Britain was actively involved in Mesopotamia from 1914-1932. Prior to the First World War a large portion of the Middle East was in the hands of the Ottoman Empire. However when the Ottomans sided with Germany in 1914 Great Britain sent forces to Mesopotamia to protect the Anglo-Persian oil fields. The British army initially suffered a major defeat but eventually gained the upper hand and captured Baghdad in 1917. In 1920 after the Ottoman Empire was partitioned the United Kingdom formally established control in the region under a mandate of the League of Nations. However the Iraqi people resented this idea and revolted. In 1922 Great Britain and Iraq then signed the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty in which Iraq was given the right for self-government while Great Britain stayed in control of the country's foreign policy. This would last until Iraq's independence in 1932.The present snapshots were taken in the early days of British control in the region and depict the atmosphere at the time. They show the daily life of locals including women collecting water from the river men standing guard and the hustle and bustle in the streets. Also included are various group photos of British soldiers and locals.The photographs show some traces of wear around the corners and edges but are overall in good condition. unknown

[PHOTOGRAPHY - SAUDI ARABIA].
Collection of thirteen press photographs.
1930. Kept in a brown kraft paper envelope. With 13 gelatin silver prints various sizes. A collection of thirteen press photographs from the 1930s showing Saudi Arabian leaders during diplomatic visits to Europe. The beautifully sharp and clear photographs give a good impressions of what these events must have been like at the time. Most of the photographs come with the text that would have accompanied them when they were published in a newspaper and are stamped on the back by the press agency that had the rights for publication. We have not been able to find any of these photographs in online archives.Four of the images show Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud 1906-1975 during a diplomatic visit to Great Britain. Faisal was the third son of King Abdulaziz the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. Faisal was very intelligent and was given numerous important duties as a result. He was sent on a five-month long diplomatic visit to Great Britain and France when he was just 13 and achieved his first military successes when he was 16. He succeeded his half brother as king of Saudi Arabia in 1964 and became a well-loved ruler. The present photographs however show his visit to Great Britain in 1939. In particular his visit to the Royal Air Force stations in Middlesex and Northolt where he viewed the Hawker Hurricane planes which he considered to buy for the Royal Saudi Air Force. After his return however he decided against it.The other photographs show Fuad Bey Hamza 1899-1951 the Saudi ambassador in France and Fakry Pacha dates unknown the Egyptian ambassador in France during an Eid al-Fitr celebration in Paris in 1939 a portrait of Sheikh Sir Abdullah al-Salim al-Sabah 1895-1965 the 11th ruler of the Sheikhdom of Kuwait and the Kaaba in Mecca during hajj.Some of the photographs are slightly discoloured or creased around the corners. Mostly in very good condition. unknown

Collection of twelve photographs capturing daily life in Saudi Arabia in the 1950s.
Saudi Arabia or Kuwait 1954. Ca. 28.8 x 22.8 cm sheet size: ca. 35.3 x 27.8 cm. Kept in clear plastic folder. Twelve photographic prints all signed and dated. 12 photographs. Remarkable collection of twelve photographs showing daily life of a community in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait in a time before oil wealth. The photographed people are likely all members of the same family. The moving images show the children engaged in wool spinning playing music on homemade instruments or posing in front of a wooden shed with their mother. The men are shown playing music and engaged in falconry. The beautifully captured portraits truly offer a glimpse into the lives and personalities of these people. All photographs are signed and dated by hand. They must have been made by a skilled photographer but the signature is unfortunately unclear. The corners of some of the photographs are very slightly creased otherwise in excellent condition. ABE CAT Anthropology & Ethnography ABE CAT Middle East Arabian Peninsula unknown

[PHOTOGRAPHY - ENGINEERING - IRAN].
Collection of 19 engineering photographs in Iran.
Iran 1928. Oblong album 24.5 x 29.6 cm. Mid-19th-century bright blue faux-leather the front board features a pictorial on-lay within a rectangular frame the illustration depicts a young woman in traditional costume holding a large ceramic vessel.

The majority of the images are annotated with the year 1308 AH 1929-1930 CE while only photograph 7 is dated 1307 AH 1928-1929 CE.The album documents large-scale engineering works and urban modernisation in Iran during the early years of the Pahlavi dynasty 1925-1941 under Reza Shah Pahlavi 1878-1944. In this period cities such as Tabriz underwent significant restructuring and infrastructural development as part of broader state-led reforms.The photographs depict surveying activities including measuring instruments mounted on tripods uniformed officials and extensive reconstruction works. Several photographs are identifiable as views of Tabriz including the development of the Gaji Gate Darb-e Gajil in December 1929 Ahrap Ahrab Street and Munjam Street under construction. Other views show street levelling and widening works illustrating the transformation of older urban quarters into broader modern thoroughfares.Further noteworthy subjects include railway works and one photograph taken in Jafarabad shows several men wearing a combination of traditional clothing including papakha-style headgear and Western clothing reflecting the broader cultural transition of the period. The present work therefore stands as an informative visual record of early 20th-century Iranian engineering urban renewal and state modernisation.With some glue staining to the dark blue paper on several pages. A few photographs show minor marginal wear not affecting the images themselves. The final photograph is not mounted on the album paper but on a separate piece of card and is loosely inserted. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf.

[Photography] Moore, F L; Fredericks, Charles D
Composite Photograph of 100 Portraits of Actresses c. 1860
Philadelphia Pennsylvania 1860. Carte de visite measuring 2 ¼ by 3 ½ inches on heavy cardstock. Wear to both photograph and mount overall very good to excellent. Though Dadaists are frequently credited with the invention of photomontage techniques involving combining multiple photographs into a single composite image have been around since at least the mid-Victorian era.1 These could be made by combining negatives or by combining prints and then re-photographing the result so that it looked seamless. Offered here is an example of early composite imagery published by F. L. Moore of Philadelphia consisting of portraits of women numbered 1–100. It seems to be a reproduction by Moore of an 1860s “theatrical portrait gallery†of actresses’ portraits produced by C. D. Fredericks & Co. of New York City; note that Moore is identified verso as an “Importer & Publisher of Cartes de Visite &c.†not a photographer. An interesting early example of photomanipulation.<br /> <br /> 1 Robert A.

[PHOTOGRAPHY - EGYPT]. ZANGAKI BROTHERS
Cover title: Aegypten 1891.
Egypt: Zangaki brothers 1891. Original gold-stamped bubble-grained maroon cloth over boards modern maroon cloth spine and leather corners. Gold stamped title and year on the front white watered silk endpapers. Oblong album 31.5 x 41 cm. With 34 large albumen prints mounted on heavy cardstock leaves. Most of the photographs are numbered and captioned in French in the negative and signed 'Zangaki'. The last one is signed Sebah & Joallier. The Zangaki prints measure 22.5 x 28.5 cm; the Sebah & Joallier one is 20.5 x 26.5 cm. A large German album with 34 albumen prints of Egypt. The Greek brothers G. and C. Zangaki were photographers who worked in Egypt in the second half of the 19th century. Due to increased tourism to this region after the opening of the Suez Canal there was a large demand for souvenir photographs. Photographers like the Zangaki brothers as well as Sebah & Joallier catered to this. The Zangakis were among the first commercial photographers to produce large-scale images of Egypt. They travelled through the country with a portable darkroom to capture high-quality images of famous monuments and daily life though the latter were usually posed. These images were then printed and sold to tourists either separately or compiled into albums. According to John Hannavy the brothers "produced some of the finest images of late Victorian Egypt". The 34 photographs include: the great pyramid Cairo and the Nile dervishes and other exotic looking locals Egyptians standing on top of the sphinx obeliscs the Ramesseum Karnak temple the temple of Dendera the Great Pyramid Egyptians climbing the pyramid the mosque and tomb of Muhammad Ali Saqqara and many others.With two small library stamps on the first page not affecting the photograph. The book has been rebacked. The left side of the front board has faded and the corners are worn. Minor browning around the edges of the leaves. Back flyleaf loose. The photos are crisp and clear and the book is otherwise in good condition.l Erdem Views of Egypt by Georgios and Constantinos Zangaki: Examining a late nineteenth-century photographic album at the Art Gallery of Ontario thesis 2006; Hannavy Encyclopedia of Nineteenth Century Photography pp. 1036 1093 & 1521.

[PHOTOGRAPHY]. POUNCY, John
Dorsetshire Photographically illustrated. By J. Pouncy. The detail and touch of nature faithfully reproduced by a new process on stone by which views are rendered truthful artistic and durable
London. Dorchester: Bland & Long. John Pouncy Photographic institution 1857. Four parts in two volumes. 90; 82pp. Lithographic title to Vol I. terminal advertisements and colophon leaves to each volume all included in preceding collation. With 79 photo-lithographic plates one of which double-page. Original publisher's limp cloth decorated in blind and titled in gilt; Vol II neatly recased in the original binding at an early date. Some rubbing tearing and a little marking to binding; loss to spines. Sporadic spotting to text and images occasional marginal tears including to endpapers and repairs only touching the image on two plates. Inscriptions to each front endpaper of 'Mrs Michel' of Whatcombe House featured in this volume and described as 'not distinguished by any remarkable feature' but as beautifully situated with 'adjacent grounds extensive and picturesque'. An unsophisticated copy of the most important study of Dorset country-houses from their golden age which was also the first - and only - major English book produced in photolithography and is as such a milestone in the history of permanent photographic reproduction. It was described by Gernsheim as 'not only the first but remained the only attempt in book form to reproduce photographic views from nature by photolithography' and by McLean as marking a 'transitional stage between drawing and unretouched photography'. As is explained by English photographic pioneer John Pouncy 1818-1894 in both the introduction and advertisements of this present volume the fading nature of early photography was the revolutionary illustrative median's greatest weakness: 'astonishing as is the effect and almost perfect as is the beauty of some of these works of art permanency is found wanting' or in short 'Photographs very generally fade'. Thus between the conception and completion of this photographic study of his beloved native Dorsetshire Pouncy called 'in the aid of another art that of Lithography; and thus without forfeiting the exactness which is the peculiar characteristic of the one to ensure the quality of durability which is unhappily wanting to it by means of the co-operation of the other' and so 'the views which were originally announced as Photographs will now appear as Photo-Lithographs'. As the reproduced excerpt from a contemporary Poole newspaper review highlights Pouncy's devised process involved transferring long-exposure 'photography to stone and then re-transfers it to paper'; a service that he also here advertises as available from his Dorchester studios. Non static-features were added in by hand giving a rather ghostly appearance. The process must necessarily have been both time-consuming and expensive and each part of this work published by subscription was advertised originally at the price of £1 1s or £5 5s for the planned whole the fifth and sixth of which were never published. Subscribers included the poet William Barnes and many of the owners of the houses featured in the book. Not pure photographs but not simply hand-drawn lithographs either his process produced images truly symbolic of the Victorian artistic compact between mechanisation and manual labour; no book could claim to more truly occupy the threshold between photographic and lithographic illustration.

FIRST EDITION OF THIS SUMPTUOUSLY ILLUSTRATED WORK OF PHOTOGRAPHY. Edward Weston's California period dominated his work from 1927-1934. Ansel Adams wrote of Weston's photography that "To see to react to create these are the fundamentals of all art production. But also to share is the measure of the great artist and the great person. In both his magnificent photographs and in the confidences and clarifications of his Daybook Edward Weston takes us into himself and shares with us his particular mirror of beauty and compassion." Edward Weston wrote: "Through photography I would present the significance of facts so they are transformed from things seen to things known. Wisdom controlling the means--the camera--makes manifest this knowledge this revelation in from communicable to the spectator. A New York Graphic Society Book. Little, Brown and Company hardcover

Beauchy a Spanish photographer from the same city. He photographed the region of Andalusia south Spain at the end of the nineteenth-century. Some prints of Madrid and Barcelona were produced by printers of Spanish graphic art Hauser and Menet in 1896 and 1897.With an Antwerp bookseller's ticket on the front paste-down.

1932. PHOTOGRAPHY Imada KINGO editor. HANZAI KAGAKU Vol.3 #7 1932 JUNE. Published in Tokyo by Bukyosha. 8vo. size printed wrappers. This magazine was only published for a short time though it managed to include stories by important literary figures wonderful photomontage and avant garde photo foldouts strange erotica tales of urban life reports on "sexual life among the proletariat" etc. etc. Under the broad rubric of "ero-guro nonsensu" the literary and artistic scenes of pre-War Japan as embodied here in CRIMINOLOGY MAGAZINE explored the margins. This is the seventh number of the third year of its publication. As might be expected the editor Imada Kingo was a multitalented writer and artist both who became best known for his children's stories. With wear at the tail of the spine else very good. Especially noteworthy are the photos reproduced done by Horino Masao the important avant-garde photographer. Interesting and very unusual publication. unknown

1900. Mounted on cardboard. Various sizes. With two stereographic cards and one photographic print. Collection of three early twentieth century photographs taken by American photographers showing the holy carpet and a street scene in Yemen. The holy carpet was woven every year by the best Egyptian craftsmen. It was then placed into the mahmal a special reliquary and carried to Mecca where it would cover the Kaaba during hajj. The present stereographs show the arrival of the carpet in Cairo and Damascus. The photograph of Yemen is of a later date.The stereograph from Damascus was taken by William Herman Rau 1855-1920 a photographer from Pennsylvania. He became the photographer for the United States government expedition and traveled around the world to observe the transit of Venus. In 1881 he briefly worked in Egypt Palestine and Syria. The image of the holy carpet was likely taken during this time although the present stereographic print is of a later date. The photograph of Cairo was taken by Roddo York Young 1871-1955 an American photographer who worked around the world.Both stereographs have printed text on the back explaining the image. The stereographic cards have been warped but the images themselves are in good condition. unknown

Dustjacket. 132pp. Very light wear to corners and spine ends; internally clean signed by McCulling to the title page; in a clean strong example of the dustjacket with some very light cosmetic edgewear. A near fine signed copy.<br /> <br /> McCullin's relationship with India has been on of fasciantion ever since her toured the sub-continent with Eric Newby in the mid-1960's. This lavish travelogue which steps away from the shining marble of the Taj Mahal and instead takes in the burning ghats family outings refugee camps everyday life and the Indian people from the street people of Calcutta to market workers Brahmin and beggars is for McCullin a departure from war zones and military might but returns to his essential question of what happens to everyday people caught in the grinding mechanical orbit of great civilizations Jonathan Cape unknown
