REAL PHOTO POSTCARD OF THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL AT WRANGELL ALASKA
The Industrial School in Wrangell Alaska pictured in this circa 1905 real photo postcard was founded in 1877 by the first Presbyterian Church in Alaska. The purpose was to teach young native men of the area known as the Tlingit various American trades such as printing boatbuilding and construction. It closed in 1907.<br /> <br /> A new Wrangell Institute boarding school was operated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs from 1932 until 1975 at a site a few miles south of Wrangell. Children were forced to attend the school which for some was a traumatic experience because they were removed from their homes and families and forbidden from speaking their native language.<br /> <br /> The black-and-white card measures roughly 5 ½" x 3 ½" with a few light pencil markings on the verso. The front of the card is coated and the name of the school and location are etched in the negative. Overall in very good condition. unknown

[Photography] [San Francisco]
SAN FRANCISCO BAY AND ALCATRAZ ISLAND
An albumen print of the San Francisco Bay showing Alcatraz with sailing ships in the distance. It is likely this image was taken by Carleton Watkins 1829-1916 an important Western photographer whose photographs of Yosemite significantly influenced the United States Congress' decision to preserve it as a National Park.<br /> <br /> Despite the recognition he received for his work Watkins lost his studio and thousands of images to creditors. Ultimately everything was taken over by Isaiah West Taber 1830–1912 who reprinted Watkins work without giving him credit. Watkins opened his San Francisco studio in 1871. However the 1906 San Francisco earthquake destroyed the studio gallery and negative collection ending his photographic career.<br /> <br /> This image measures 7 ½“ x 4 ¾“ and has writing in ink along the lower border which reads: “San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz Islandâ€. It is mounted to a backer board and is faded along the right edge.<br /> <br /> This image was likely marketed to tourists and sold in Taber’s shop. The National Galleries of Scotland has this image in its collection. That example is printed on a Watkin’s special mount and is labeled B 844. unknown

Its power to displace perspectives of the external world is now equivalent to the spontaneous act of seeing. This is translated into formalist theory when the thing photographed is less important than the photograph itself. The status of the photograph has reached the position whereby the world is now compared to it." NFS Press unknown

[PHOTOGRAPHY - AUSTRALIA].
Sydney Harbour and Circular Quay.
Sydney 1875. Ca. 8 x 46.5 cm. Panorama photograph consisting of three albumen prints joined together with white bookcloth. A long folding panorama photograph of Sydney Harbour in the late 19th century. It prominently features the east side of Circular Quay which at the time was a commercial working wharf dominated by the wool trade. The many wool stores that were built here have since been demolished. The large wool store of Hill Clark and Co at the end of the wharf which was completed in 1883 cannot be found on the photograph which means it must have been taken in 1882 at the latest. The photograph is not signed but is reminiscent of the work of Australian photographers Charles Bayliss 1850-1897 and Francis Whitfield Robinson ca. 1819-after 1882 who made similar panorama photos of Sydney around this time.The photograph is slightly discoloured one of the bookcloth hinges is partly torn.

[PHOTOGRAPHY] FITZGIBBON, J. H. (editor)
THE ST. LOUIS PRACTICAL PHOTOGRAPHER
St. Louis: Published from 116 North Fourth Street 1877. First Edition. Hardcover. Front cover now detached and the spine largely lacking but the text block is tight and the book can be easily rebacked. Despite the defects Very Good and quite scarce. The first twelve issues of this scarce western photography monthly edited by J. H. Fitzgibbon one of America's finest daguerreotypists and well-known for his portraits of Native Americans. Bound in contemporary half morocco with the original front and rear wrappers for all issues as well as the ads bound in. Illustrated with 10 original photographs mostly mounted albumens including a portrait of Fitzgibbon by Bogardus an Adirondacks landscape by Stoddard and various posed studies. One image the Great Steel Bridge of St. Louis is printed directly on the paper; another is a chromotype of the Chicago Apollo Musical Club by Gentile. There is no image with the sixth issue nor is one listed in the contents. The albertype by E. Bierstadt for the eleventh issue is lacking as is a ferrotype specimen holder in one of the ads. The articles are informative and instructional covering both news and many different technical aspects of photography at the time with much longing for a return to the daguerreotype and a number of articles on new processes such as the Lambertype. This copy is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the editor to T. S. Lambert in January of 1878 on the inside front cover. Theodore Sarony T. S. Lambert was no relation to the creator of the Lambertype Claude Lambert but he did team up with Claude to sell exclusive license for the Lambertype process. <br/><br/> Published from 116 North Fourth Street hardcover

[PHOTOGRAPHY] HEYMAN, Ken [photographs]; Edmund Carpenter [text]
They Became What They Beheld
New York: Outerbridge & Dienstfrey / Ballantine 1970. First Edition. First printing. Small quarto 21cm x 23cm; gray paper-covered boards hardcover; dustjacket; 157pp unpaginated; illus. Fine in the fragile printed mylar dustwrapper complete but slightly rubbed and scratched; Very Good.<br /> <br /> Somewhat uncommon cloth edition of this experimental pastiche of Carpenter's aphoristic writings and Heyman's documentary photographs. Heyman b. 1930 is perhaps best known as Margaret Mead's long-time collaborator and co-author with her of the books Family and World Enough. Carpenter was a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology and a frequent collaborator with Marshall McLuhan to whose work the current volume clearly owes a debt. An easy book to find in softcover but the cloth edition is elusive especially in the absurdly fragile mylar dustwrapper. Outerbridge & Dienstfrey / Ballantine unknown

[Photography]: [Trade Catalogues]: [Toys]. Cascelloid / Palitoy
Toy Catalogue of the Cascelloid / Palitoy Co. with Photographic Prints
Leicester UK: Cascelloid 1930. Very good . Beautifully-produced trade catalogue from the Cascelloid "Palitoy" company displaying a wide range of baby dolls and other toys. Several uncomfortable designs of black children with pitch-dark skin date this catalogue at roughly the 1930s when the Cascelloid company was dubbed the "House of Constant Progress" by the industry press for its material innovations with the plastics Bexoid and Plastex. One page features a celluoid model by the noted designer Mary Lucie Attwell a doll named "Diddums." The catalogue also displays the company's offerings of animal dolls die-cast trucks pool toys golf and ping-pong sets rattles pinwheels and more. Needless to say color photography was not the norm at this time and this catalogue comprises a beautiful set of vivid and sharp photographic prints. A truly exceptional example unlike anything we've seen: simultaneously surreal and nostalgic. Oblong 4to. album. Blue leather-covered boards. Contains 29 color photographs all 9" by 6.5" approx. mounted on rectos one each of light-gray cardboard leaves. About very good plus overall. Moderate rubbing and edgewear to boards. Several pages display mild soiling and offsetting from photos. Prints just a bit yellowed but remain sharp vivid and clean. [Cascelloid] hardcover

[PHOTOGRAPHY - FALCONRY].
Two Bedouins hunting with birds of prey.
1880. Tipped onto a stiff paper mount ca. 40 x 30 cm. Kept in a clear plastic sleeve. One albumen print ca. 22 x 27.5 cm. Striking large photograph of two Bedouins on horseback carrying large birds of prey for hunting. Bedouins have a long history of falconry as it was difficult for them to catch live prey in the desert otherwise. They typically captured the falcons trained them for a few months then released them back into the wild before breeding season. This tradition no longer exists in this manner as hunting is now forbidden throughout most of the Arabian Peninsula. As such the present photograph offers a unique insight into 19th-century falconry in the Arabian Desert.The edges are somewhat discoloured and the corners are creased from a past mounting method. Otherwise in very good condition. ABE CAT Falconry & Hunting ABE CAT Middle East Arabian Peninsula unknown
