Four Photograph Albums Documenting Training and Service in the Imperial Japanese Army in the Interwar Years
Very good. Four photograph albums containing a total of 558 mounted images documenting military training and service in Japan in 1920s and 30s all in very good condition. Although we acquired these albums together they appear to have belonged to different people. Most if not all were officers. One album has handwritten captions the others do not but do have some group photographs with captions in the negative. Two identity documents are tipped in to one album that we are told are for people with the family names Yokoo and Hayashi. During the interwar years Japanese culture was pervaded by the conviction that a strong military was the solution to most problems foreign and domestic. The Army enjoyed considerable independence from the civilian government and various factions within the military played a major role in directing the country's foreign policy. As described by historian David Hunter-Chester in The Culture of Military Organizations Cambridge 2019 the Imperial Japanese Army's "organizational culture produced tough proficient and courageous soldiers." These albums reflect great pride in military service with numerous images of their subjects in dress uniform singly and in groups and engaged in military exercises including bayonet training firing machine guns field and parade drills physical fitness ropes course gymnastics equestrian training cleaning and assembly of weapons and more. There are also images of soldiers in the classroom at leisure sporting events sumo at a public bath etc. and at special events and celebrations-the latter characterized by an abundance of Japanese and Imperial Army flags. These albums reflect an ethos that was soon to vanish. The military culture of pride in excellence according to Hunter-Chester "left it unable to deal with military losses; it was a culture that prized reputation over public honesty ritualized death and placed its own judgment above question. According to its own creed the Army should have 'done its utmost to protect the state.' Instead its soldiers are remembered in Japan and much of the world as 'beasts.'". unknown books

Presentation Album of Thirty Original Photographs of the Construction of Seattle City Light's Boundary Hydroelectric Project 1963-1967
Seattle Light City Boundary Project 1967. Boundary Dam located on the Pend Oeille River in Northeastern Washington supplies a substantial portion of the hydroelectric power used by Seattle residents. A concrete double-curvature arch dam rising 340 feet from bedrock it is 740 feet long at the top 32 feet thick at the base and eight feet thick at its crest. Boundary Powerhouse located adjacent to the dam is completely built inside of the rock that makes up the left abutment of the dam itself. Although the site was identified as early as 1953 controversies and legal battles delayed permitting until 1961 and pushed back construction until 1964. This interesting album shows the site in its untouched state in 1963 followed by work on the tailrace in 1964 and the first bucket of concrete for the dam being poured on November 12 1965. There are aerial photos giving an overview of the project site at various phases and shots of the dam under construction the sluice maintenance gate for and trashracks machine hall images at several stages draft tube and penstock stayring and spiral case and turbine and generator. The first commercial electricity was produced by one turbine at the dam on September 1 1967. By December all four turbines were producing 600000 kilowatts of electricity. Physical description: Commercial comb-bound album containing 30 original 8 x 10 black and white photographs with the first bearing the title and crediting photographers Glen Saxe and Bert Holmes. Facing that title page is a plain sheet of paper on which 23 people who worked on the project signed their names and in several cases identified their role on the project many were inspectors or included well wishes for the recipient who is not identified. All photos in clear sheet protectors; fine condition. Accompanied by five page printed report titled "Progress Report February 18. 1967 Seattle City Light's Boundary Project Pend Oreille River Washington" and a 1964 issue of the Pend Oreille newspaper the Newport Miner devoted to the dam and its powerhouse.

Doranto The Greatest Chinese Impersonator and Human Xylophone
Very good. Original photograph 4x5.5 inches mounted on 6x8 inch board with decorative border and printed captions. Credited on the mount to Dexter McKeesport PA. Ca. 1900. Doranto was one of several actors in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries regularly performed Chinese impersonations in traveling variety shows. Claiming to have studied Chinese language and culture from a young age he performed across the United States and in Canada Australia and New Zealand dressing in Chinese costume playing "discordant melodies from strange-looking musical instruments" according to comedian Fred Allen who encountered him on a ship and billing himself as "the human xylophone." He played the Chinese fiddle the Chinese banjo and Chinese guitar instruments that one Australian reviewer called "bizarre" remarking that one of them resembled a flower pot with a saucepan handle. This is probably a reference to an erhu which is shown in this photograph. Doranto's audiences-most of whom had likely never encountered an actual Chinese person-may have thought the apparently dreadful sounds he made were authentic Chinese. An Australian reviewer commented that "to enjoy Doranto's music to the utmost you should have almond-shaped eyes and a pigtail at least 3 ft 6 inches long. It is the real stuff as the saying is and probably just as acceptable to the wooable Chinese maid as the guitar is to the amorous Spanish beauty." According to Fred Allen the "human xylophone" aspect of his act was saved for the finale when he "caused alleged melodies to emerge from his mouth as the result of spanking his false teeth with two short sticks while manipulating his orifice." Our searches of OCLC and other sources have turned up no other examples of this photograph or any other of Doranto whose real name alas we do not know. unknown books
