‎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

‎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 - 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.

‎[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.
