‎薔薇刑 新輯版 Barakei Shinshuba/ Ordeal by Roses Re-Edited IN ORIGINAL PUBLISHER'S SHIPPING BOX‎

‎Tokyo: Shueisha 集英社 1971. New edition. Hardcover. vg- to near fine. Large oblong folio. 15x21". Unpaginated. All content housed inside the publisher's original cardboard shipping box with printed label pasted on the front. Binding protected in original a white cloth portfolio with red lettering on the front cover and lavishly decorated interior flaps. Black suede-covered boards with mutli-colored illustration mounted on the front cover. Decorative endpapers. Engraved stainless-steel plate showing Mishima's face mounted on black paper preceding the title page.<br /> <br /> The deluxe and lavishly printed new bilingual edition of the acclaimed and eroticly-charged work also know as "Killed by Roses" by Japanese photographer Eikoh Hosoe b.1933. It gained notoriety and elicited controversy when it was originally released in 1963 and won the Japan Photo Critics Association's writer award. The main photographic subject of the book the acclaimed and controversial writer Yukio Mishima 1925-1970 wrote the preface to the original edition and also writes the preface for this new edition both are included here. Mishima's acclaimed works include the famous and controversial novels "Confessions of a Mask" 1949 and "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" 1956. Hosoe's striking high-contrast b/w photographs are all printed in high-quality photogravure retaining all the power and atmosphere of his original images. In comparison with the first version of the work this edition features the content having been noticeably re-edited with one image added a few others removed. The images have been thematically re-organized into five new chapters with the names "Sea & Eyes" "Eyes & Sins" "Sins & Dreams" "Dreams & Death" and "Death" respectively. Influential artist and graphic designer Tadanori Yokoo b. 1936 oversaw all of the design and layout aspects of the book and also created its additional illustrated elements most of which comprise the first chapter of this new edition.<br /> <br /> While Hosoe was still completing work to prepare this new edition of "Ordeal by Roses" the notorious "Mishima Incident" occurred November 25th 1970 which culminated in the ritual suicide of Yukio Mishima by seppuku. The incident shocked the nation and in its wake the photographer was quite unsure of how to proceed regarding the publication of the book. Not wanting to seem like an opportunist taking advantage of the controversy and the publicity surround Mishima's death he contemplated shelving the project but was later persuaded by Mishima's widow Yoko who said that her husband would have wanted it to be released. It was finally release only a few months later on January 30th 1971.<br /> <br /> Text in Japanese and English throughout.<br /> <br /> Portfolio with foxing to the white cloth including the front cover and the interior but the illustrations on the flaps are still clean. Suede binding clean and protected in modern mylar. Light foxing to the edges of the book block. Interior with all pages and images clean and vibrant save for a few sporadic instances of the most minor stains or smudges on the blank versos a few pages. The verso of the final photographic plate and the page opposite have a bit more foxing. Portfolio in very good- binding and interior in very good to near fine condition overall.

‎[Photography]. [South America]‎

‎Annotated Vernacular Photograph Album of Mining and Engineering Activities in Peru and Ecuador‎

‎Various places in South America 1928. About very good. Sixty-six original photographs most 35. x 5.75 inches. Small oblong folio album string tied. Photos mounted directly to tan heavy card stock. Contemporary manuscript captions throughout and small return address label affixed to rear cover. A number of card leaves coming or fully detached. Occasional small corner chips and minor wear to photos. Interesting photo album containing over sixty-five original and vernacular images that document a work trip through Peru and Ecuador compiled by an American engineer likely named Breese Rosette of Alhambra California per an address label on the rear cover. He evidently traveled on behalf of the Frederick Snare Company a major U.S. civil engineering and construction firm that was responsible for myriad works in Latin America and major projects in New York such as the Triborough Whitestone and Verrazano Narrows Bridges. Rosette went to Snare-owned material sites such as a rock quarry near Callao and a cement plant in Lima and also visited various project locations where the company was engaged such as railroad construction sites and mines. In between times he traveled to major cities such as Lima Callao Quito and Guayaquil and he also documents his travel to work sites by train and by river boat. In all a fascinating and well-rounded album showing American industrial and engineering work in 1920s South America. unknown‎

‎[African-Americana - Prince Hall Freemasonry - Photography]‎

‎Laminated Tintype Portrait of an African-American Man with the Prince Hall Freemasons Insignia c. 1910s‎

‎American 1910. Tintype measuring 8 x 6 inches with an African-American portrait laminated at borders with a decorative frame with the insignia of the Prince Hall Masons. Some chips to lamination at corners very good. Very Good. An interesting portrait of an African-American man with a decorative masonic border bearing the distinctive shape of the Prince Hall Masons emblem. Prince Hall Freemasonry stands as the earliest officially recognized and consistently operational organization established by individuals of African descent. Its inception occurred on March 6 1775 when Prince Hall ca. 1748-1807 a proponent of abolition and a civil rights activist alongside fourteen other free black individuals underwent initiation into freemasonry. They established African Lodge No. 1 on July 3 1775. In 1784 a formal request for a charter was submitted to the Grand Lodge of England and upon approval African Lodge No. 1 was redesignated as African Lodge No. 459 in Boston Massachusetts. By the time this picture was taken there were numerous lodges making the exact location or identity of the sitter unknown. unknown‎

‎[African-Americana – Music – Early Photography – African American Performers in Britain] WJ Wellstead and Son; Fisk Jubilee Sing‎

‎Carte-de-Visite Portrait of the Fisk Jubilee Singers in Hull during their First European Tour 1873–1874‎

‎Hull and Nuneaton: W. J. Wellsted & Son 1874. Carte de visite portrait measuring 2 ½ x 4 inches. Albumen photograph on original mount with Wellsted’s printed royal arms and “By Special Invitation†crest advertising the firm as “Photographers of the Prince & Princess of Wales†with addresses at 3 Paragon St. Hull and Church Lane Nuneaton. Excellent. A scarce provincial English studio portrait of the Fisk Jubilee Singers taken during their early British tours when they visited Hull in 1873 and 1874. A closely related photograph from the same Hull sitting is preserved at Hull Museums; that example includes the troupe’s manager George White along with an unidentified woman. The present image represents a variant from the same series consistent with multiple negatives or slightly altered arrangements made for local sale to concert attendees.<br /> <br /> The photograph aligns with the group’s well-documented appearances in Hull during their first English tour. They arrived on Friday August 1st 1873 and performed that evening at Hope Street Congregational Church where contemporary accounts describe the building as filled to capacity. The concert reportedly raised over fifty pounds with a second performance following on Sunday afternoon. During this same visit the group was heard singing outdoors near King William’s monument bringing their repertoire beyond the church interior and into the civic heart of the town. They returned to Hull on December 5th 1873 this time appearing at Hengler’s Circus a larger public venue. George White the group’s manager later remarked that Hull was a place where they had earned funds “beyond their expenses.â€1 On the Sunday of that December visit seven female members and one male singer accompanied by White attended a gathering of roughly three thousand schoolchildren at the Artillery Barracks where a collection of just over £17 was taken for the Jubilee fund. The following day they visited Wilberforce House at the invitation of merchant Thomas Massam singing in the birthplace room of William Wilberforce and performing both “John Brown’s Body†and “God Save the Queen†linking their American antislavery origins with Britain’s own abolitionist legacy.<br /> <br /> At some point in their visits the group was photographed at the W.J. Wellstead studio with the images likely produced to sell during their performances. Besides the variant copy at the Hull Museum we find no other examples of this image. <br /> <br /> 1 “The Fisk Jubilee Singers in Hull and East Yorkshire†African Stories in Hull and East Yorkshire https://www.africansinyorkshireproject.com/fisk-jubilee-singers-part-one.html accessed March 5 2026.

‎[Women's History – Medicine – Crimean War – Early Photography] Kilburn, William Edward [Nightingale, Florence]‎

‎Carte-de-Visite Portrait of Florence Nightingale‎

‎N.p. 1870. Carte After the original photograph by William Edward Kilburn 1818–1891 taken circa 1854 with later CDV issue probably circa 1870s. Albumen print mounted on card; sitter identified in print beneath image. Standard carte-de-visite format approximately 2½ x 4 inches. Excellent contrast with light surface wear. Seated three-quarter portrait of Nightingale in dark silk dress with white collar hands folded over a paper posed beside an upholstered Victorian chair. The image derives from a sitting arranged in London with William Edward Kilburn one of Britain’s early professional photographers and a former daguerreotypist who gained fame by exhibiting at the Great Exhibition of 1851. By the early 1850s Kilburn had established a reputation for photographing members of the aristocracy and prominent public figures.<br /> <br /> The Nightingale sitting happened shortly before her departure for the Crimea in October 1854 at a moment when her name was just entering the public press. The portrait predates her full transformation into the national icon later known as the “Lady with the Lamp.†Unlike later more romanticized images Kilburn’s photograph presents a composed unsentimental likeness more consistent with standard portraiture practices than her later photographs. Following Nightingale’s wartime service at Scutari 1854–1856 and the subsequent surge of public acclaim Kilburn’s image became the primary photographic source from which engravings lithographs and later carte-de-visite reproductions were made.1<br /> <br /> 1 Denis Pellerin “Florence Nightingale: The Mystery Behind Her Iconic Photographs†The Classic November 15 2020 https://theclassicphotomag.com/florence-nightingale-the-mysteries-behind-her-iconic-photographs/ accessed February 27 2026. unknown‎

‎[California - Early Photography] [San Francisco and the Bay Area]‎

‎A Pair of Photograph Albums Documenting San Francisco Monterey and the Surrounding Areas in the Late 1880s‎

‎Northern California 1880. 4to one album in burgundy cloth the other oblong brown pebbled cloth. Seventy-one sepia-toned and cyanotype photographs most measuring 6 ½ x 4 ½ inches. Near fine with some light wear to albums photographs very good or better with very good contrast some showing a hint of fading. A very early pair of vernacular photograph albums centering on the experiences of a wealthy family in San Francisco Monterey and the surrounding areas in the late 1880s. The bulk of the images show the family and their unidentified circle in domestic scenes with the vernacular architecture and landscapes of the Bay Area on full display. Other images show landmarks including Golden Gate Park the Francis Scott Key monument various views of the first Hotel del Monte in Monterey which would burn in 1887 dating the photographs to the period prior to the fire. The album also includes photographs of African American families. <br /> <br /> The image quality is generally quite strong and the photographer was either a professional assembling the album which includes many portraits of family and presumed friends for themselves or the work of a highly skilled amateur. The Initials on the front pastedown are “M.J.R.†though this could be a later owner. The albums were from the estate of the muralist Clara Fargo Thomas who was a resident of New York and could possibly have been from one of her family members though we are unable to glean much detail from the contents. The few annotations offer little clues one just reading “5/11/89 - Golden Gate Park†and another identifying a house as 509 Webster St. in San Francisco though the typical Victorian architecture and sloped street of the house suggest it could have just been a photograph of San Francisco’s unique architecture. <br /> <br /> The photographs of the people give insight into the lives of the new wealthy class of San Francisco residents of the late 19th century with others interestingly showing rural scenes and people. The photographer also had an eye for the flora of the region which is displayed throughout. It is unclear what the relationship of the African-American subjects was to the photographer and why they appear in the album. Overall a compelling group of images and the earliest example of vernacular photograph albums of California images we can find in the trade. unknown‎

‎Four Cartes-de-Visite of African-American Subjects in Pocahantas Virginia c. 1860s-1880s‎

‎Pocahantas: P.W. Poff 1870. Albumen carte de visite photographs measuring 3 ½ x 2 ½ inches on slightly larger mounts. Some fading to some images one in fine condition good to very good overall. Very Good. A series of images taken by P.W. Poff who also operated a studio at Bluefield West Virginia. Pocahontas in Tazewell County was the site of a coal boom in the late nineteenth century when these pictures were taken. The large two-state coal region serviced by the Norfolk and Western Railway was named after the town. The images show a woman in formal dress a pair of men standing together and then two images of the same subject wearing a hat. There are no other clues as to the identification of the subjects who very well may have been residents of West Virginia as Pocohantas is situated on the border between the two states. P.W.

Robert Vance was one of the first photographers to document California’s gold rush taking over three hundred images of California that were shown in 1851 in New York and since lost. He operated a studio in San Francisco at Sacramento and Montgomery Street. This image of an unidentified subject in formal dress was likely taken in 1855-1856 when Vance began taking ambrotype portraits. unknown‎
