Maritime Photography
Archive of Nearly 400 Photographs of Ships Published by the R.J. Waters Company of San Francisco
San Francisco: Waters Company 1915. Very good. 393 silver gelatin photographs each 8 x 10 inches. Each image annotated in pencil on verso corresponding to numbered index sheet. Formerly mounted with remnants of glue on verso. Images generally clean with minor wear and soiling. Several images lightly creased. An extensive photographic archive from the R.J. Waters Company of San Francisco depicting nearly 400 ships from the turn of the century. Vessels range from 19th century clipper ships to the seven-masted behemoths of the early 20th century together with a few schooners whaling barks and the odd steamer or two. Many are British with a good representation of American-built vessels as well as ships from France Germany Australia Sweden and other nations. The ships are sorted here alphabetically and correspond to a numbered print issued by the Waters Company and present here which is titled "Collection over 500 Photographs of Sailing Ships." A further note asks that you "Kindly Order by Number" as each ship is noted with a number next to its name. The images themselves are notated accordingly with name and index number with ships occasionally having more than one view. Ships currently under sail are denoted with an "X". Many of the ships are sailing vessels from the 1880s and 1890s and provide historic detail about the wide variety of ships coming in and out of San Francisco's busy harbor. The views have been taken from various vantages resulting in views of the San Francisco harbor and shoreline as well as at least one shot of Alcatraz in the distance. Many of the vessels have secondary "biographical" information with them adding to the research value of the archive.<br /><br />R.J. Waters 1856-1927 was a California native who first opened a photo studio in Virginia City Nevada in 1886. He opened a commercial photography studio on Sutter Street in San Francisco in 1892 and ten years later added a business partner and changed the name to R.J. Waters and Company. The firm claimed to "photograph anything and anywhere" and as a result had a wide array of images on offer including handsome panoramic views of San Francisco both before and after the Great Earthquake. Maritime photography seemed to have been a matter of opportunity and Waters seems to have spent time both aboard ships and down at the docks making an effort to photograph every substantial vessel which entered San Francisco Bay. There was certainly a market for images of sailing vessels as evidenced by the present archive and its index card and the present archive may have been a shop file used for ordering prints. Altogether an interesting study of maritime history emphasizing San Francisco's importance as a port of call for international trade. Waters Company books

Photo Album Barnes Richard H.
Bookbinding
Philadelphia: Richard H. Barnes ca. 1960. <br /><br />Oblong photo album measuring 13 1/2 x 10 inches 340 x 255 mm 12 leaves containing 8 photos each for a total of 96 photos title to front cover written in pencil metal comb binding. <br /><br />This album shows 96 color snapshots of Anthony Cina of South Jersey Bindery Thorofare New Jersey binding a book at the bindery of Richard H. Barnes in Philadelphia. Each snapshot appears within a window measuring 4 1/4 x 2 7/8 inches 103 x 73 mm. The snapshots are neatly and firmly attached. Complete; none missing. <br /><br />According to a handwritten note on the verso of the front cover Philadelphia bookbinder Richard H. Barnes took the photos at his Philadelphia shop 2341 Germantown Avenue. The note also states that the photos are from "circa 1960."<br /><br />We have not been able to find much information about Anthony Cina. However a 1966 newspaper article states: "Anthony Cina leather craftsman and bookbinder of Thorofare will give a demonstration on 'bookbinding and engraving' to graphics arts teachers" during the 48th annual convention of the New Jersey Vocational and Arts Education Association April 1 and 2 1966 at a hotel in Asbury Park. The Daily Record Long Branch New Jersey March 26 1966 page 5. <br /><br />As for Richard Barnes the Philadelphia binder published a book in 1962 "Gilding and Making of Gold Leaf." An interesting look at bookbinding featuring step-by-step photos of the binding process. Complete with no photos missing or damaged. <br /><br />CONDITION: Some soiling and rubbing to the covers slight toning to page edges. Very Good overall. Barnes, Richard H. books

Waddell Clyde; Preston M. Charles
A Yank's Memories of Calcutta Photo Album with Interesting Provenance Ephemera Laid In
Houston TX 1946. Hardcover. Very good. Black buckram album 10" x 13" containing a one-page printed introduction by Preston and 60 gelatin silver prints by Waddell inserted into pre-cut corners rectos only each with a fairly detailed typed caption underneath. Very good condition. According to the Introduction Clyde Waddell was Chief Photographer for the Houston Press before entering the Army where he was attached to the Public Relations Staff of the Southeast Asia Command. After two busy years on documenting action on the Burma front Waddell took the photographs in this album while on leave in Calcutta. "By the time he completed this project which brought him into some of the remotest out-of-bounds areas" writes Preston "he was flooded with requests from Americans and Britishers for copies of his photographs. That is how this album came to be.As a documentary of Calcutta it's tops." The album includes wonderful views of the city and its people including many bustling street scenes buildings Hindustan Building Karnani Estates American Red Cross Burra Club Jain Temple Nimtolla Mosque the Stock Exchange billboards street vendors and performers among them a snake charmer and shops and markets--including a wonderful shot of American GIs browsing at a book stall. There are also scenes of poverty and struggle including striking tram workers homeless people sleeping in the streets an opium den and a woman dying on a sidewalk as people walk by indifferent to her plight. The captions are chatty offering both information and Waddell's personal commentary on the scenes. This particular copy of the album belonged to Lyle Oberwise 1908-1993. Like Waddell Oberwise was a an American Army photographer assigned to the China-Burma-India theater of operations. But he is better known as a prolific Milwaukee street photographer whose work was discovered only upon his death. More than 43000 slides he shot in Milwaukee between 1945 and 1993 now reside at the Milwaukee County Historical Society. There is a photo of Oberwise in his military uniform mounted on the verso of the title page of this album. Also tipped in or laid in are a Red Cross Guide Book to Calcutta Agra Delhi Karachi and Bombay 93 pp with folding maps; tickets and programs for two American Red Cross-Burra Club tours of parts of Calcutta; An American Red Cross Guide to Calcutta for Servicemen 4 pp including a double-page map; and an uncredited 8" x 10" photograph of the Taj Mahal. hardcover books

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 1930". 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 books
