They consist in great part of compositions hastily sketched in chalk and never carried further; among them however are a few Outlines in umber on canvass which although more carefully done should not be considered as finished Outlines since they were of the figures in the different compositions vary form that of life to a few inches in length; and where it was necessary to reduce them for engraving the daguerreotype was used by which the image was conveyed to the engraver's plates prepared for that purpose and there fixed by tracing the line through the silver." <br><br>CONDITION: Ex-library with consistent library spore from Louisville Free Public Library. VG as cover shows wear and soiling. Foxed throughout yet engravings are still quite spectacular. Several plates contain a one inch open tear at the foredge yet has not compromised the integrity of the engravings. Large dampstain within the last several leaves at the corner. A beautiful portfolio that holds some sense of mystery and intrigue within its images. At 5 lbs. due to it's very large size and weight an additional shipping charge will likely apply.

‎[Women] [Massachusetts] [Boston Brahmin] [Photography]‎

‎Photograph Album of roughly 1400 Pictures Taken by a Young Woman with a Connection to the Cabot Family of Boston Showing a Modern Eye for Composition Circa 1930‎

‎Boston 1930. Oblong quarto 49 pp. With appx. 1400 photos most measuring less than an inch square with roughly 175 in larger formats up to 3 ½ by 5 inches. Very Good. A wonderful labor of photographic love created by an unidentified young woman with ties to the Cabot family of Beacon Hill. The album composed largely of tiny contact prints glued in neat grids. Off-kilter compositions - a portion of a steeple against the sky the tail of a dog etc. - are mixed in with more traditional landscapes leading one to question whether the photographer had modernist aspirations or just took a lot of pictures.<br /> <br /> The photographer is unknown but our best guess is that it was someone who was a friend of Ellen Cabot of Beacon Hill perhaps while both were students or just after. Ellen Cabot the most frequent subject of the album is shown in a variety of settings often accompanied by her dog Prowler. Aerial photography the New England coastline camping life in Cambridge and equestrian competition are all on display. Other highlights include a dog named Benito Mussolini and artful shots of a monk’s torso. A portion of the photos perhaps five or ten percent are not present though the album is otherwise in excellent condition. Handwritten label on the front reads “Newport Races to Topsfield autumn 1930â€. Overall the album is a testament to the energy and spontaneity of youth and the possibilities of the photographic form as well as an intimate look into Boston’s storied upper class. unknown‎

At that time the VU photo-illustrated magazine had the best photo laboratory where prominent Parisian photographers came to show their pictures: Brassay Andre Curtes and many others. All of them showed their work to Irene Kaminsky and listened to her opinion. With Sergey Lidov then still a young bank clerk she was introduced by mutual friends. At first glance Lidov was conquered by the incredibly bright and charming Irene but her occupation seemed boring to her. According to legend it was Irene who gave Lidov the first Rolleiflex camera and offered to try herself as a photographer. Sergey Lidov wandered around the city with his Rolleiflex in search of original subjects plunging into the hectic artistic life of Paris. His first photo essay which arose from a series of photos of Le Bal Tabarin cancant dancers among Montmartre vineyards delighted Irene Kaminsky and VU editor-in-chief and was immediately published in the magazine.

Van Haaften 33. A volume frequently overlooked in the history of the photographically illustrated book. This was the first American use of original photographs of illustrations for a literary work. Heretofore only through various mechanical printing processes could an artist's illustrations be reproduced faithfully primarily etchings and lithographs with almost all original illustrations on paper copied by others onto plates for engravings. Unpaginated aprox 40 leaves. Photographic reproductions of paintings had been included in a number of books but photographs of drawings specific to a particular literary work had not been previously attempted; the hope was a level of reproduction never before achieved. The process was expensive engravings were far cheaper than hand-mounting photographic prints the public yawned and the concept became an idea before its time to be resuscitated several decades later when the technique of photoengraving was perfected enabling publishers to put photographic reproductions of drawings directly onto printing plates.

‎Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Wrapped Reichstag Berlin 1971-95‎

‎Cologne: Taschen 1996. First Edition. Fine. Deluxe first edition "Special Edition" with fabric swatch mounted to back pastedown. 696 pp. profusely illustrated with color photographs. Oblong quarto bound in publisher's silver cloth lettered in blue on spine. Fine. Housed in the original slipcase printed paper and silver cloth with spot of soiling to upper edge. <br /> <br /> <p>The story of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's 24-year quest to wrap Germany's historic parliament building in woven silvery cloth held with blue rope. The two artists were known for their monumental fabric installations of which this was the most iconic. The installation subverted the imposing dignity of the famous building a Neo-Renaissance behemoth left in ruins by the Battle for Berlin in 1945. The building was stripped and restored by the West German government during the 1960s then further repaired and crowned with a new glass dome in time for the new millennium. Before the new construction began Christo and Jeanne-Claude finally gained permission to wrap the building after decades of lobbying. The effort was seen as a symbol of reunification drawing millions of Germans to physically interact with what would once more be the seat of their government for the first time since 1933.

‎Photographs of Displaced People and Red Cross Relief Work in Vietnam 1972‎

‎Softcover. Very good. Softcover student notebook 8.25 x 6 inches containing 51 b/w photographs 2.5" x 3.5" mounted on graph paper leaves most with handwritten captions in Vietnamese. Dated 1972 on the front cover with additional handwritten titles or notes we have been unable to decipher. Two items stapled together are laid into the notebook both in French on the letterhead of the Indochina Operational Group of the Red Cross. A cover letter addressed to the National Societies of the Red Cross dated March 5 1973 reads roughly "It gives us great pleasure to send you the first set of photographs of the Red Cross in the Republic of Vietnam reported by M. Olaf Stroh during his recent trip to Hanoi and Haphong" and requests feedback. The attached sheet a photocopy provides a list of eight Activities of the Red Cross in Vietnam shown in "Series 4" of the photographs. These two items do not appear to have a direct relationship to the photo album i.e. these are not the photographs mentioned in the correspondence but both do relate to French Red Cross activities in Vietnam. The photographs show a variety of scenes relating to displaced people and relief efforts in South Vietnam. There are images of landscapes destroyed by the war trucks piled high with possessions people waiting in lines and crowds at distribution points for food and supplies and makeshift refugee camps with living spaces made from tarps poles and sheet metal. Red Cross vehicles appear in several photographs as do a pair of men who are likely representatives of the organization. A compelling view of the impact of the war on ordinary people's lives. unknown‎

‎[Mexico]. [Vernacular Photography]‎

‎Collection of Vernacular Stereoviews of Mexico Highlighting Travel in the Country in and Around Mexico City‎

‎Mexico 1940. Near fine. 100 stereoview photographs with duplicate 2.25-inch square image exposures mounted to grey card mounts measuring 3 x 6 inches. Prints hand-numbered in the margin at lower right thirty-three with hand-written ink notations to versos. A couple of prints with small areas of discolor to extremities with typical bowing to mounts otherwise a very well-preserved group. A compelling group of 100 vernacular stereoview photographs capturing travel in Mexico chiefly Mexico City and its surrounding rural environs to the near south and east in identified locations including Cordoba Fortin Cuernavaca Zacatepec Puebla Tlaxcala and others. Thirty-three of the views are hand-annotated and a few others capture visible signage identifying rural markets Native communities schools landmarks and more including a series from the floating gardens of Xochimilco rural schools near Cuernavaca the Temple at Quetzalcoatl and so forth. Some examples of the handwritten captions describe the nature of the indigenous communities encountered by the photographer such as: "Baby among the vegetables in the market - Cuernavaca" "A native woman goes to market in Cuernavaca" "A peasant home Chipitlan" "Old man cleaning tripe near community laundry at Zacatepec" "Native children selling bananas and gardenias packed in banana stalks at gate of old hacienda - Fortin" "Village women in community laundry at Zacatepec" "Native boy sliding down rail of inclined railway leading to valley near dam between Cordoba and Fortin " "Native children selling bananas and gardenias packed in banana stalks at gate of old hacienda - Fortin" "Gardenia vendors stopped us again as we returned from Cordoba" "Native market at Ixmiquilpan - poorest part of Mexico" and "The village orchestra - playing on native instruments - Tlaxcala."<br /> <br /> The materials are undated though a clear view of a school of the Comision Nacional de Irrigacion which was a federal agency in existence only between 1926 and 1947 and one view with two ca-1930s American cars clearly visible in the background along with general print qualities of the photographs suggests a date somewhere around 1940. Vernacular stereoviews of Mexico are exceedingly rare from any period. A complete list of the manuscript captions on the verso of thirty-three images is available by request. unknown‎

‎Two Annotated Photographs of Early Groton South Dakota‎

‎N.p. likely Groton SD: October 1885. Very good. Two mounted albumen photographs 5.5 x 8.25 inches on 8-x-10-inch plain cardstock. Small chip to bottom edge of each mount some edge wear dust-soiling and rubbing. A highly-informative pair of original photographs of two different areas of Groton South Dakota just four years after its founding each identified in the lower margin both taken in October 1885 both from a slight elevation and each with numerous manuscript captions in the margins identifying various locations in the images. The first photograph pictures "Central Part of Groton. October 1885." Manuscript captions point to the bank post office "Trinity Church" the Presbyterian Church "Presbyterian Parsonage" and an "X" on the Brunswick Hotel identifying "Will's room formerly at the hotel." The second photograph is titled "Northern Part of Groton Dakota. In Oct. 1885." Among the buildings identified here are "Will's home" "School house" "New College Buildings" "Bank Building" and the location of Main Street. Each photograph pictures many more buildings than are identified through the captions and juxtapose the town's collection of buildings against a wide and empty prairie beyond. Together the photographs provide a rare and early city view of the still-remote city of Groton located in the north-eastern part of South Dakota and numbering just 1380 residents as of the 2020 census.

Kneeland 1821-1888 was a physician naturalist and Professor of Zoology and Physiology at MIT. This book is based on his first visit to the Yosemite Valley in 1870 and includes a narrative of his trip from and return to Boston. "Kneeland made every effort to obtain current and accurate information and each of the later editions of the guide incorporates new material.Weston J. Naef in his book Era of Exploration the Rise of Landscape Photography in the American West 1860-1885.comments that the photographs 'are curious because there is no evidence that Soule a talented landscape photographer was ever in California.which suggests that he might have purchased the negatives from a California photographer not an uncommon transaction'" Currey & Kruska 225. Eadweard Muybridge and Martin Hazeltine are both considered strong candidates to have been the actual photographer. Farqhuar #10; Cowan p. 333.
