(Photography) Gubelman, Theodore (1841-1916)
Autograph memoir of a noted New Jersey photographer including his work as an itinerant photographer during the Civil War
Jersey City NJ 1916. Manuscript throughout. 61pp. neatly written in ink on ruled paper. Inscribed on the first page "To my only daughter Josie" and signed and dated on the final page. 12mo. Contemporary flexible leather covers. Binding worn. Manuscript throughout. 61pp. neatly written in ink on ruled paper. Inscribed on the first page "To my only daughter Josie" and signed and dated on the final page. 12mo. Born on November 9 1841 in Constance Baden-Württtemberg Germany Gubelman arrived in New York in May 1854. The following year he found work with famed mapseller J. H. Colton "as pupil to Jos. Schedler who was in charge of the engraving dept a ledding man as engraver of maps." In 1857 he relocates to Washington DC with Schedler to draw maps on boxwood for wood engraving though the following year he returned to New York working as an engraver for Forbes in New York being paid $8.00 a week.<br /> <br /> In 1858 he accepts his first job in photography:"On Dec. 20th I got a situation with Julius Brille on Chatham St. to retouch photograph & coloring the same under the tuition of Mr. Bathing a very able artist. Dr. Ehrman was also employed there as operator." Gubelman stayed in that position less than a year before moving to Memphis Tennessee to work in a family friend's grocery business. "I stayed one month in that business but it did not prove congenial to me so I secured a situation in Clark's Gallery the most noted in Memphis as a colorist" He returned to the grocery business shortly thereafter when the owner sold his interest to Gubelman's family. "The summer of 1860 was a very trying time in Memphis particularly for a good republican. The only thing to do was to keep mum a hard thing to do when you hear the most patriotic men of the nation abused like pick pockets. Homeguards were organized uniformed and drilled in the evening attending to business during the day and wearing the uniform as a protection against being pressed into the rebel army." He leaves the south under the pretense of purchasing stock for the store and smuggles himself north by flagging down a steamer on the Ohio River making his way back to Jersey City. <br /> <br /> His memoir continues: "I hired Campbell's Gallery at 60 Montgomery St he having gone into making plates for tintypes then just coming up. I improved in my chemical knowledge under Mr. Campbell done my own operating and colored photographs and made a fairly good living." In May however he enlists for 3-months service "in response to Pres. Lincoln's call for 75000." His service was largely uneventfully spending most of his time at Suffolk Virginia with the exception of being shipwrecked en route to Fortress Monroe. He mustered our honorably in September and joined by his parents moved to Trenton "where I founded the partnership Parker & Gubelman & opened a gallery on East State St. We did not succeed and due no doubt to inexperience of both of us." <br /> <br /> In May 1863 he "entered the employ of C.C. Giers at Nashville Ten. at a salary of $80 a month which was increased to $100 in Aug." After Giers retirement and a brief stint working "in a photo tent at a camp in Murfreesboro" he befriends Captain Welles who loans him $400 to open his own studio. "I located at Pulaski Ten. There was about 10000 soldiers and no photographer . There was a fine skylight on the square one flight up. I got an order from the Provost Marshal to take possession. On Jan. 11th 64 I came back to Pulaski with the needed stock and an old acquaintance who was a printer we went to work to fit up prepare chemicals that was collodion days when it took time to get in working order . In the first day I took in $37.00. By the middle of March I paid back the loan to Capt. Welles as he would take no interest I presented a gold watch to Mrs. Welles." <br /> <br /> By May however Union troops left Pulaski and Gubelman returned to Nashville with $500 in stock & $1000 in cash." He entered into partnership with his former boss Giers. "So we formed the firm C.C. Giers & Co. Mr. Giers put up $4000 cash & I $1000 in cash & $500 in stock we bought the Merrit Gallery for $5000. Mr. Giers was to have 2/3 interest." Just a few months later however with Sherman marching towards Atlanta Giers bought out Gubelman's share for $2600 and Gubelman again returned to Jersey City where he opened his own studio on Newark Avenue in May 1865. After describing the meeting his future wife his marriage and other family news Gubelman records the opening of a second gallery on Washington Street in Hoboken which would be sold two years later to Louis Nagel. <br /> <br /> He moves several times in the early 1870s but prospers: "For a number of years I was an exhibitor at the Am. Institute Fairs obtaining a number of medals. In 1878 I made an exhibit of Photo Portraits all sizes from cabinet size to 18 x 22 life size all from gelatin plates the first exhibit of its kind in this country. The same year I made an exhibit in Paris and obtained a bronze medal. All of which not only was a fine advertisement but materially helped to establish a fine reputation in every way. I was also the producer of the first photo prints of instantaneous views of yachts Steamers & Co. in N.Y. art stores." He goes into partnership in 1882 with Arthur Hargrave on W. 23rd street in New York which after several years became profitable. In 1888 he travelled with his family to Europe and while there he arranges for his son Leopold to study with Dr. Eder in Vienna "as I thought a scientific education in the photo-mechanical processes would insure his future."<br /> <br /> Gubelman profitably dissolves his partnership with Hargrave in 1892. The rest of the memoir is devoted to his European travels his family and his grandchildren. The memoir ends recording the death of his wife on April 7 1916 and with Gubelman signing and dating the memoir Jersey City May 3 1916. A pencil notation below presumably by his daughter Josie records her father's death on October 31 1916.<br /> <br /> Though unpublished the memoir is known from a transcript of a second copy of the memoir penned for his son Fred. The transcript is located at the George Eastman House though the whereabouts of the original manuscript presented to Fred is unknown though at one point belonged to his grandson Herbert Gubelman. For a detailed biography of Gubelman see Saretzky and Bilby whose article is based on a second copy of the transcript of the manuscript penned for Fred Gubelman and given to A.J. Peluso for a 1999 article in the Maine Antique Digest. Saretzky Gary D.; and Joseph C.

[Photography]: [Trade Catalogues]: [Toys]. Cascelloid / Palitoy
Toy Catalogue of the Cascelloid / Palitoy Co. with Photographic Prints
Leicester UK: Cascelloid 1930. Very good . Beautifully-produced trade catalogue from the Cascelloid "Palitoy" company displaying a wide range of baby dolls and other toys. Several uncomfortable designs of black children with pitch-dark skin date this catalogue at roughly the 1930s when the Cascelloid company was dubbed the "House of Constant Progress" by the industry press for its material innovations with the plastics Bexoid and Plastex. One page features a celluoid model by the noted designer Mary Lucie Attwell a doll named "Diddums." The catalogue also displays the company's offerings of animal dolls die-cast trucks pool toys golf and ping-pong sets rattles pinwheels and more. Needless to say color photography was not the norm at this time and this catalogue comprises a beautiful set of vivid and sharp photographic prints. A truly exceptional example unlike anything we've seen: simultaneously surreal and nostalgic. Oblong 4to. album. Blue leather-covered boards. Contains 29 color photographs all 9" by 6.5" approx. mounted on rectos one each of light-gray cardboard leaves. About very good plus overall. Moderate rubbing and edgewear to boards. Several pages display mild soiling and offsetting from photos. Prints just a bit yellowed but remain sharp vivid and clean. [Cascelloid] hardcover

JAPANESE PHOTOGRAPHY
Album with 48 large hand-coloured albumen prints.
Kyoto Yokohama & Tokyo: 1901. A fine Japanese tourist album in original lacquer binding A magnificent Japanese export album with large hand-coloured albumen prints of Meiji-era Japan offering a vivid representation of people with arresting portraits accompanied by landscapes sites and everyday life; housed in a beautifully decorated binding and housed in an equally impressive custom box. Of particular interest are the images devoted to "types" life and people including a street peddler hauling his cart of goods by Felice Beato a beach scene on Enoshima Island showing fishermen as well as a splendid image of a shoemaker by Shusaburo Usui. Also featured are city scenes showing Main Street in Yokohama by Izawa Shuji and the royal gardens in Tokyo with the 500-year-old wisteria in bloom. Photography arrived in Japan shortly before the 1867 Meiji Restoration which marked the beginnings of a period of dramatic change with westerners and Japanese setting up studios. Although the photographs were aimed at the tourist market they revealed the dress style and nature of the country. The present albumen prints are mainly from the studios of five different photographers: Tamamura K zabur 1856- was a noted Japanese photographer who originally opened his studio in Asakusa before moving to Yokohama where he began commissioned photography of the tea industry. Kozaburo was probably the most successful of Japanese photographers in marketing his work to foreign residents and visitors. Another photographer is Usui Shusaburo fl. 1877-1894 who had a Yokohama-based studio which operated until the mid-1890s. Izawa Shuji was an amateur photographer active in Tokyo during the 1890s who also edited the photographic periodical Shashin-Sowa. Ueno Hikoma 1838-1904 and Felice Beato 1832-1909 were two of the most successful and well-known purveyors of images based in Nagasaki and Yokohama respectively. The album has an ownership inscription in Spanish on the front pastedown of Ramon Concepcion Lozano 1880-1963. Lozano was a Puerto Rican who served as mess attendant in the US Navy. He purchased the album in Tokyo in 1901 and shortly thereafter concluded his career with the USS Uncas a fleet tug in the Caribbean. A typed note on the front free endpaper notes that Lozano had the present wooden display box made in June 1956. The note also written in Spanish lists the bottom as marine plywood; the box sides as mahogany; lid panels as cypress; inlaid panels on the lid as English pine black cypress oak red mahogany black walnut white pine cherry and birds-eye maple. This is a particularly attractive presentation for this highly evocative album. Landscape folio 305 x 393 mm. With 48 hand-coloured albumen prints landscape or portrait 200 x 250mm; 250 x 200mm. 26 featuring human subjects and large colour print of Hirosaki by Kronfeld all mounted recto and verso on thick cream-coloured boards with tissue guards many with captions or glass plate negative numbers in lower margin of image each with small printed number mounted at lower margin. Contemporary gold-flecked black lacquer boards velveteen spine inlay designs of fans on front cover and floral scene on lower cover gilt dentelles gold-flecked endpapers each leaf with alternating blue and red silk tabs attached to the fore-edge all edges gilt. Housed in wooden display box with eight inlaid panels. Minor rubbing and wear to spine small cracks of lacquer edges of boards with neat retouching of colour corners and inner hinges expertly repaired some occasional foxing slight wear or toning of mounts an excellent example with the photographs retaining strong contrast.

Cingalese Family Portrait. Albumen photograph from the Colombo Apothecaries Company
1895. Good overall. Large albumen photograph depicting a Cingalese Ceylon family consisting of a grandfather father and young daughter all dressed in their finest. The young father holds a cloth parasol. The young daughter about 6 or 7 years old already is wearing fine gold ornaments including necklaces nose ring and earrings. <br /> <br /> "Colombo Apothecaries Company was established by J. Smith Finlay and W.M. Smith in Colombo Ceylon in 1883. From a small mercantile establishment the Company grew rapidly into a large general store selling most commodities. The name Colombo Apothecaries Company was established in 1892 and by this time already had a photographic department. As an expansion of this department the company acquired the negatives of Charles Scowen Company and moved their studio to Kandy where the climate was considered better for photographic work than Colombo. After the acquisition of the Scowen portfolio the Colombo Apothecaries Company produced a fine catalogue and started selling their photographs worldwide". Our thanks to Palinda de Silva for the above information.<br /> <br /> This is just such an intimate portrait with the grandfather at the right slightly blurred as if he moved during a long exposure.<br /> <br /> A good bright image some light creasing and a little chipped at edges otherwise good condition.
