[Philippines]. [Photography]
Collection of Vernacular Photographs of Settlers in Remote Rural Regions of the Philippines
Philippines 1950. Very good. Thirty-one original photographs each measuring 4 x 5 inches. Minor wear and dust soiling. Mostly sharp clean images. Fascinating group of over thirty candid photographs depicting Philippine settlers and their homes on the large southern island of Mindanao just after World War II. Over half over these show settlers and their homes in the Panguantucan and Nabaliwa areas of Bukidnon province in the center of the island as wells as images of coffee and soybean farms a poultry enterprise rural roads and bridges and more. Additional photographs show similar scenes in Lanao del Sur also on Mindanao and a few in the Tinambac municipality of the more central Camarines Sur province -- farmers with their products by the road agricultural families at work a plant nursery and settlers' children in the fields. Mindanao is one of the principal centers of agricultural production in the Philippines and the island was subject to a series of resettlement efforts across the 20th century by both colonial and independent governments aimed at increasing production. The photos are captioned in manuscript in English on the versos and scattered images of crude roads and construction equipment suggest that these images were taken by a U.S. Army engineer or a private contractor after the war. unknown

[Photo Album] Barnes, Richard H
Bookbinding
<p>Philadelphia: Richard H. Barnes ca. 1960. <br /><br />Oblong photo album measuring 13 1/2 x 10 inches 340 x 255 mm 12 leaves containing 8 photos each for a total of 96 photos title to front cover written in pencil metal comb binding. <br /><br />This album shows 96 color snapshots of Anthony Cina of South Jersey Bindery Thorofare New Jersey binding a book at the bindery of Richard H. Barnes in Philadelphia. Each snapshot appears within a window measuring 4 1/4 x 2 7/8 inches 103 x 73 mm. The snapshots are neatly and firmly attached. Complete; none missing. <br /><br />According to a handwritten note on the verso of the front cover Philadelphia bookbinder Richard H. Barnes took the photos at his Philadelphia shop 2341 Germantown Avenue. The note also states that the photos are from "circa 1960."<br /><br />We have not been able to find much information about Anthony Cina. However a 1966 newspaper article states: "Anthony Cina leather craftsman and bookbinder of Thorofare will give a demonstration on 'bookbinding and engraving' to graphics arts teachers" during the 48th annual convention of the New Jersey Vocational and Arts Education Association April 1 and 2 1966 at a hotel in Asbury Park. The Daily Record Long Branch New Jersey March 26 1966 page 5. <br /><br />As for Richard Barnes the Philadelphia binder published a book in 1962 "Gilding and Making of Gold Leaf." An interesting look at bookbinding featuring step-by-step photos of the binding process. Complete with no photos missing or damaged. <br /><br />CONDITION: Some soiling and rubbing to the covers slight toning to page edges. Very Good overall.</p> Barnes, Richard H.

[PHOTO ALBUM].
[GERMAN SUBMARINE INDUSTRY / WWII EVE / MIDDLE EAST] Photo album consisting of 31 large gelatin silver photos documenting the construction and launching of Turkish U-Boats titled "Birinci" and "Ikinci Inönü" in Fijenoord Shipyard.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original brown leather photo album including 31 large gelatin silver photographs. Album size: 23x31 cm. Photo sizes: 16,5x22,5 cm. No captions. Each photo is mounted on album leaves and separated with tissue guards. Historically significant photo album including attractive photographs showing the process of the construction and launchings of the first two Turkish submarines at the Fijenoord Shipyard in Rotterdam, by German and Turkish engineers, under the secret project "NV Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw (i.e. Engineer-office for Shipbuilding) which was a Dutch dummy company set up in The Hague and funded by the Reichsmarine after World War I in order to maintain and develop German submarine know-how and to circumvent the limitations set by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. IvS first designed two submarines based on the World War I UB III of the Kaiserliche Marine. Both were built by the Fijenoord shipyard in Rotterdam in 1927 and sold to Turkey, which named them TCG Birinci Inönü and Ikinci Inönü. Photos show the Turkish and German commissions of engineers including Ata[ullah] Nutku who is the first Turkish shipbuilder and designer as well as the process of construction of these two Turkish submarines and launching at the Fijenoord Shipyard. The first two submarines built during the Republic era were U-Boats designed based on the UB-III class, one of the German submarine classes of the First World War era, ordered in 1925, received in 1928, and built at the Fijenoord shipyard in the Netherlands. NV Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw (Dutch: engineer-office for shipbuilding) designed several submarine types for paying countries, including the Soviet S-class submarine, as well as the prototypes for the German Type II submarines and Type VII submarines. The company was a joint venture by the German shipyards AG Vulcan Stettin (located in Stettin and Hamburg), the Krupp-owned Germaniawerft in Kiel, and AG Weser in Bremen. Design work was carried out at the facilities of these companies in Germany. At the time of IvS, the Germans were bound by the Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919. This treaty, among other terms, demanded that all German U-boats be destroyed or given to other nations. Thus the Reichsmarine was left without a submarine capability, and IvS was created to work around these restrictions. The work of the company was a major factor in the foundation of the Kriegsmarine of World War II. The first designed two U-Boats TCG Birinci Inönü and Ikinci Inönü were followed by the Submarino E-1 built-in 1930 by the Echevarrieta y Larrinaga shipyard in Cádiz, Spain, initially for the Spanish Navy, but mainly as a prototype of the German Type I submarine. However, the Spanish lost interest in the E-1, and it was also sold to Turkey in 1935 as the TCG Gür.

[PHOTO ALBUM].
[ITALIAN NAVAL INDUSTRY / WWII EVE / MIDDLE EAST] Cantieri del Tirreno Genova. [Photo album consisting of six large gelatin silver photos documenting the launching and floating of Turkish destroyer titled "Zafer" in Genoa Shipyard].
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original photo album with original six silver prints. Large 8vo. (23x25 cm); photos sizes: 15x21 cm. Captions are in English with printed text in Italian. [12] p. Rare and attractive photo album titled "Cantieri del Tirreno Genova & Riva Trigoso" [i.e. Shipyards of the Tyrrhenian Sea Genoa and Riva Trigoso] including attractive six large-size silver gelatin photographs on six album leaves showing the process of the launchings and floatings of the Zafer destroyer in Tinaztepe class built under the 1929 programme in Fascist Italy, designed on the base of Italian destroyer Folgore, which were purchased while being built for the Italian Navy. Photos show the splendid process of the launching of this Turkish destroyer on the eve of WW II. The captions: 1.,2. Destroyer "Zafer" launching. 3. Destroyer "Zafer" floating and launching. 4. Destroyer "Zafer" completely finished in Genoa Harbour. 5. Destroyer "Zafer" floating after launching. 6. Destroyer "Zafer" completely finished in Genoa Harbour. The accompanying crowd is seen in some photos while the Turkish-flagged ship is being launched. The Tinaztepe and the Zafer were built at the Riva shipyard in Trigoso in addition to the Kocatepe. They were inspired directly by Freccia's plans, but their chimney ducts emerged separately. They could also anchor mines and had a less active career, apart from a few sorties in 1945 in a Mediterranean furrowed by Allied ships. They were scrapped in 1957.

He helped launch the U.S. Geological Survey USGS and was its chief geologist under the famed explorer and second USGS director John Wesley Powell. In addition Gilbert was a founding member of the National Geographic Society as well as president twice of the Geological Society of America. Gilbert was first exposed to the American West when he participated in the Wheeler Survey one of the four great surveys of the American West headed by George Wheeler Clarence King Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden and Powell. Gilbert's monumental works were "Report on the Geology of the Henry Mountains" 1877 and "Lake Bonneville - Department of the Interior Monographs of the United States Geological Survey Volume 1" 1890. He is credited with naming ancient Lake Bonneville whose raised shorelines he used to demonstrate crustal isostasy.<br /> <br /> "Gilbert had a knack for harnessing the geography of the land in the cause of something greater: extraction of knowledge about the processes at work." - R.

[PHOTOGRAPHY - SHAH JAHAN ALBUM].
20th-century photographic reproduction of the Shah Jahan Album.
1900. Contemporary gold- and blind-tooled burgundy buckram with the title and volume number lettered in gold on the front and spine a double fillet border on both boards blind-tooled turn-ins gold and burgundy floral end papers gilt edges. Folio. With 50 photographic reproductions in black and white mounted onto thick passe-partout leaves separated by thinner leaves onto which typed descriptions are mounted. 2 volumes. Remarkable photographic album beautifully reproducing the paintings from the Shah Jahan Album also known as the Kevorkian Album. The album compiled by the Mughal emperor Jahangir 1569-1627 and his son Shah Jahan 1592-1666 contains miniatures from the best painters of the Mughal era such as Govardhan Mansur Daulat Payag and Chitarman with calligraphic text by famous calligraphers such as Mir' Ali Haravi. The 50 exquisite photographs accurately reproduce the details of the original miniatures highlighting the iconographic and stylistic richness of Mughal art.Mughal albums also known as muraqqa usually included existing works in the patrons collection as well as works created specifically for the album such as paintings and drawings folios from preparatory pattern books and calligraphy specimens. They were not bought ready-made but compiled over a longer period of time by its owners. Emperor Jahangir commissioned the first folios for the Shah Jahan Album around 1620 and his son continued after his death. Shah Jahan's additions are stylistically different from Jahangir's with more portraits and illumination and the inclusion of calligraphy pages. After his death the muraqqa now with 39 miniatures passed onto his son Aurangzeb 1618-1707 who did not commission any more folios. The muraqqa left the royal library in the early 19th century and was likely acquired by an art dealer from Delhi who added 11 miniatures around 1820. These were made in the 19th century but imitated the 17th-century style of the others. In the 20th century the muraqqa was bought by the New York art dealer Hagop Kevorkian who sold 9 folios to the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington and the remaining 41 to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York where they still reside.The spectacular Shah Jahan Album is a collection of 50 single-page paintings which include intimate nature studies and portraits of the royal family and various dignitaries framed by a beautiful floral border. Each painting is faced by a single page of illuminated calligraphy made by renowned calligraphers. The photographs in the present work each mounted in a passepartout carefully reproduce the single-page paintings and three of the four calligraphic pages that open the collection. They are accompanied by a foreword and a short description of each painting which appear to be taken from an auction catalogue and were likely added later. A valuable testament to the interest in Mughal art in the 20th century this collection constitutes a seemingly unique iconographic resource as we have not been able to find another copy. There is no mention of a publisher or photographer but the quality of the prints suggests careful production intended for and commissioned by a scholar or collector specialising in Indian art. The present copy was part of the collection of Dr Ebadollah Bahari 1929-2018 noted historian of Persian art author of Bihzad master of Persian painting 1996 and benefactor of the Bahari Curatorship of Persian Collections at the Bodleian Libraries University of Oxford.The boards have been rubbed with minor loss of material on the back board of both volumes the joints are slightly weakened but the structural integrity of the bindings is still intact. Some of the mounted descriptions are lightly foxed. Otherwise in good condition. hardcover

[PHOTOGRAPHY - GREAT BRITAIN] [WW1] Anonymous Photographer
A Photograph Album of Early 20th Century London; with a number of images of the River Thames Shipping Mudlarks River Communities etc.
London 1914. Tall Octavo. 24.5cm. Original green cloth over bevelled boards titled "Photographs" in gilt to the lower front cover. 24pp; 48 3" x 4" black and white images in total. Light bumping and scuffing to corners and spine ends cup ring to front board some light scuffing strong and tight. Internally clean with heavy grey card mounting leaves 2 captioned numbered and often dated images per page. Photographs are clear sharp and well composed with no apparent defects or signs of wear. A very good handsome album.<br /> <br /> Photographer unidentified. but clearly at least a gifted amateur this album judging from the numbers on the image captions is one surviving volume of at least two or three. The execution is excellent the composition and subject matter are far beyond the usual "Here's a picture of Big Ben!" genre of London photography; major landmarks are represented Hyde Park Kew The Embankment Cleopatra's Needle etc. but the manner of the photography is more artisitic than purely descriptive. The image of Cleopatra's Needle for example is captioned as such but the focus of the image is a small Edwardian boy in a Norfolk Jacket and knickerbockers lounging across one of the bronze sphinxes. The views of the River Thames in particular elevate this album to degree of historical usefulness; the shipping details including a number of photos taken from the water have effectively preserved vernacular images of the sheer weight and diversity of shipping at a time when the river ports of London were the arguably the most important in the world. Aside from the usual luggers and rowboats there are a number of photos of sail wherries and river barges which for a long period of time were the pre-eminent open water trading and delivery vessels in the UK with wherries and shallow water barges making their way from the enormous larder of East Anglia and the North East down to London. <br /> <br /> Wool potatoes ropetextiles from Manchester steel work from Sheffield and the North West coal from Sunderland and Newcastle all traveled mainly by water right up to the 1940's and in some places later. There were barge crews in the 1960's essentially doing the same jobs in the same vessels that their extended and often clannish families had been doing for 200 years or more. The watermen depicted navigating the Thames' vicious currents in these photos were essentially the same men who carried Pepys Newton and Marlowe backwards and forwards between the palaces of Westminster and the stews bear pits and rookeries of the Surreyside. Where there are clear avenues of industry there are the necessary shadow economies that accompany them; there are a number of images of small ragged children scouring the foreshore or "Mudlarking" as it was known around the breaking wharfs where barges and ships too old and dangerous for use were destroyed for re-usable lumber and fittings. A bag of copper nails or a few salvaged shackles even salvaged rope could be enough to get a few pennies at the back door of Pocock's bargebuilders down near Rotherhithe. <br /> <br /> In contrast to these off the beaten track images of industry and poverty there are also depictions of the more fortunate wandering around Hyde Park or Kew visiting the Palace or St. James Park. Also present in a slightly forboding fashion is an image of Graham White's biplane flight at Hendon on July 11th 1914 only 17 days before the opening of hostilities in WW1 an event which would quickly transform aviation from a public spectacle of wonder to the pre-eminent weapon of 20th century warfare. The fact that these images were all taken on the very brink of a conflict that would change every aspect of what they depict is sobering; the UK lost almost a million military casualties during the conflict meaning that a very significant number of the men and boys in these images would be dead within a handful of years of them being photographed. In the words of John Burns "Every drop of the Thames is liquid history. unknown
