[Photography / Travel / Kashmir]
A Poet in Kashmir. Cover title.
<p>7 x 11-3/4 inches. 28 leaves containing 52 b&w photographs and three blue photographs as well as 17pp of holograph poetry written in white on the black leaves and two hand-painted color illustrations. Black hardcover post-bound album stamped in gilt. A few photos starting to come loose else fine. Very Good or better.</p><p>An exquisite photograph album about the travels through Kashmir of one man and two women -- all white possibly British inscribed only to "Auntie Gillmore" -- filled with vernacular photographs of the countryside and local people. Nearly all of the photographs are captioned and the three blue photos appear to be made after the method devised by Frank A. Perrett to photograph volcanoes in the early 1900s rather than being cyanotypes.</p><p>The trio's journey is narrated in rhymed poetry written by the man of the group as revealed on the last page: "The author of the photographs / And also of the paragraphs / Is standing on the Kamri Pass / Complete with alpenstock and glass. / He hears you say 'The verse might be / A little better' but you see / His job lies not in making rhymes / It's more prosaic and the times / When he is bold enough to write / His thoughts in measured words are quite / Rare and few and far between: / Hence all the nonsense you have seen."</p><p>The poetry in this cataloguer's estimation could indeed be better but it nevertheless illuminates the trio's travels which begin in Srinagar and proceed through the Sind Valley and the Kamri Pass. Included are gorgeous shots of Mt. Nanga Parbat Srinigar waterways a market stall a rice barge converted into a houseboat Gurais and much more. Additionally two illustrations one of a flower and one of a pair of colorful hummingbirds have been painted with a deft hand on two leaves.</p><p>A handsomely-produced record of a remarkable journey through 1930s Kashmir.</p> hardcover

[PHOTOGRAPHY - AUSTRALIA, EGYPT & FRANCE].
Album containing photographs of Australia Egypt and France.
1895. Oblong folio 28 x 39 cm. Contemporary gold-tooled black morocco gilt edges. With 58 photograph prints ca. 21 x 25.5 to 13.5 x 20 cm. Mounted on both sides of the leaves in the album. 60 pp. The album contains 15 silver albumen photographs of Melbourne taken mainly from the series C. Rudd's new views of Melbourne 1886-1887 by Charles Rudd 1849-1901. They show Collins Street Melbourne town hall the public library Parliament House the Court of Law Government House and various other buildings and infrastructure as well as botanical gardens such as Fitzroy Gardens. The photographs of Sydney were the work of the renowned Australian photographer Henry King 1855-1923 born in England in 1855 who emigrated to Australia with his family in 1856. He worked as a photographer at J. Hubert Newman's studio in Sydney before opening his own studio in 1880. King gained recognition for his photographic studies of Australian Aboriginal people and his scenic views of Sydney. He died in 1923 leaving behind his wife son and three daughters. His glass negatives were acquired by J.R. Tyrrell after his death and are now held by the Powerhouse Museum. King is one of Australia's most significant early photographers. The album contains seventeen of Kings photographs of the harbour including Farm Cove and the Circular Quay Government House and interior and exterior photographs of the town hall King and George Street the Mutual Life Association Building the General Post Office and the Ferner Botanical Garden. Rural New South Was appears in nine photographs including images of Illawarra National Park the Hawkesbury River and a series of outdoor photographs taken along the coast at Blackwall and dated July 1895.This curious album of 58 photographs from France Egypt and most importantly Australia opens with a section with six photos from Marseille showing street views the city harbour the Avenue du Prado and the castles.The ten photographs from Egypt depict both the cultural highlights of the country such as the Pyramids the Sphinx the Citadel of Cairo and the Palace of Gizeh as well as ordinary Arabian villages and street scenes. They stemmed from the ateliers of the Abdullah brothers of Constantinople. The Abdullah Frères namely Viçen 1820-1902 Hovsep 1830-1908 and Kevork 1839-1918 Abdullahyan were three Ottoman brothers of Armenian heritage who gained international fame as photographers during the late Ottoman Empire. Some evidence suggests that he may have collaborated with the Zangaki Brothers and he may have been the official photographer for the Universal Company of the Suez Canal. Later he worked in partnership with the British-Italian photographer Antonio Beato.With an owners inscription in pencil "a appartenu Alfred Schmid" some photographs are captioned in black ink or pencil detailing the places. With a small label from the bookshop that sold the album: "Papeterie Sauwen-Jehotte" in Antwerp. The edges are somewhat bumped and some browning and foxing throughout. Otherwise in good condition. unknown

[PHOTOGRAPHY] [INDUSTRIAL HISTORY - ELECTRIFICATION - NEBRASKA] TALBOT, Gardner W (photographer)
Album of 25 Original Photographs Documenting Construction of the Central Power Station Omaha 1910-1912
Omaha: c.1912. Photograph album 9" x 13"; tape-backed marbled boards containing 25 original mounted silver-gelatin prints each 7-1/2" x 9-1/2" printed without borders mounted on linen album leaves; ink captions provide dates and sometimes brief descriptions. Four of the images signed "Talbot" lower right; four more back-stamped with studio stamp of "Gardner W. Talbot Omaha Neb" remainder unsigned but all captioned in the same hand and presumably all by the same photographer. A well-preserved album: covers loose with modern tape repairs but apparently complete; the images generally Very Good or better with minimal fading; occasional mild oxidation to image surfaces but no notable wear or soil. Six additional photographs laid-in as found now housed in an archival mylar sleeve. <br /> <br /> An attractive collection of professional large-format industrial images documenting the expansion of Omaha's Central Power Station between 1910 and 1912. The photographs are especially interesting for providing detailed and personal representations of workers and working conditions within the context of a project of truly massive scale. The images throughout are well-composed and clearly professionally-produced though we have been able to discover no other photographic work by this photographer. Talbot is not mentioned in Mautz Biographies of Western Photographers; the 1910 U.S. Census records him as a resident of Omaha with his occupation listed as "stenographer" with a "railroad office." We would deduce that he was an employee of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway charged with documenting the project from start to finish probably for the company's internal records.<br /> <br /> Omaha's Central Power Station situated at the eastern terminus of Leavenworth Street on the banks of the Missouri River was originally constructed in 1904 in order to power the city's new electric rail system under the management of of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Railway. By 1910 the rail system like Omaha itself had grown exponentially necessitating the significant increase in capacity which prompted the upgrades to the plant documented here. According to contemporary newspaper accounts the project cost about $600000 and provided an additional 15000kw of power. The structure remains mostly intact to this day; it is on the National Register of Historic Places and was recently converted 2017 to a luxury apartment complex "The Breakers. unknown

Oblong album 30 x 20 cm. With 128 gelatin silver prints most ca. 6.5 x 9.5 cm. Beautiful album with 128 photographs of Egypt and Palestine present day Israel and the West Bank during the British Mandate. It was likely compiled by a British soldier who was stationed in the Middle East during the 1940s.

Eric Matson and his wife Edith the founders of the Matson Photo Service.

[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

Most of the photographs have a caption naming the place photographed but only 5 indicate place of production or publication of the photos.

Notable photographs in this album are the first showing a veiled woman a barber at work in the streets riders on their horses camels with riders and luggage the Notre Dame d'Afrique in Algiers. Other subjects include city views fairly candid photos of people in the streets landscapes and the exterior and interior of a mosque.The most remarkable print in this album actually does not fit in with the other images of places in North Africa. It is a photograph of pilgrims before the Great Mosque and Kaaba in Mecca modern day Saudi Arabia with a caption in Arabic. This photograph was taken by the first Arab photographer Al-Sayyid Abd al-Gaffar ca. 1887 making it one of the first photographs of Mecca. The present album contains this picture in its original form including the Arabic caption. An edited version of the photograph in which remnants of the Arabic caption are visible can be found in Hurgronje's Bilder aus Mekka.With a small Antwerp booksellers ticket on the front paste-down". The binding shows some signs of wear slight foxing/browning of the outer edges of the paper boards not affecting the photographic prints some prints have slightly faded edges which does not interfere with the actual image. This album with photographic prints of Algeria Tunisia and remarkably 1 of the Great Mosque and Kaaba in Mecca is overall in good condition. Photographie Garrigues, 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.
Jerusalem Palestine: The American Colony Grand New Hotel 1922. Oblong 4to. 12.25 x 9.5 in. 26 leaves unnumbered. on thick gray paper stock. 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.

An original gelatin silver photograph 110 × 90 mm mounted on stiff card 220 × 170 mm inscribed in white ink on the mount beneath the photograph 'With Christmas Greetings from Dr and Mrs Ramsay Smith' stamped on the rear 'Photo. by Dr. W. Ramsay Smith' and captioned in his hand 'At Port Vila - New Hebrides'. Ramsay Smith describes 'picture-making' at Port Vila in detail in his 1924 book 'In Southern Seas' and this image contains all the elements referred to: one's wife 'for comparison and relief to the various objects in the picture' the harbour as background to the wooded heights the ship in the distance . The corners of the mount are slightly rounded and both the image and the mount are a little foxed; overall it is an attractive item with more than the usual amount of background information. <p>William Ramsay Smith 1859-1937 physician naturalist anthropologist civil servant soldier - and controversy was often never far away see the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. His entry there states that 'Believing that tribal Aborigines were dying out he recorded their folklore in "Myths and Legends of the Australian Aborigines"' London 1930. Subsequent to this being published Dr Philip Jones has also recorded in the ADB that from the early 1920s David Unaipon 1872-1967 the Aboriginal preacher author and inventor 'studied Aboriginal mythology and compiled his versions of legends . Gathered before 1930 the legends are in his surviving manuscript in the Mitchell Library: they were commissioned and published by William Ramsay Smith without acknowledgment'. unknown

Ansel Adams: Letters and Images 1916-1984.
Boston::: New York Graphic Society 1988. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fineunclipped dust jacket with light sunning to the spine. Photographer and environmentalist Ansel Adams 1902 - 1984 said his life was "colored and modulated by the great earth gesture" of the Yosemite Sierra. 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
