‎Photography California‎

‎1920's SAN DIEGO AUTOMOBILE GARAGE AND SUPPLY‎

‎Very good. An album containing 24 silver prints measuring 6 x 4 inches many showing the popular Smith's automotive businesses in downtown San Diego California. The automotive service and parts company was founded and operated by Howard B. Smith known to many San Diegans at the time as "Service Smith". A native of Connecticut he trained as an engineer at U.C. Berkeley working his way through college in a repair shop and as a taxi driver. He moved to Michigan to work with the Chalmers Motor Company before relocating to San Diego in 1914 where he became an agent for cheap automobiles. In 1916 he opened the Smith automotive businesses and in 1918 the Owl Taxi with five Ford cabs. It would appear from the age of the automobiles in the photographs that the images date from the early 1920s. In 1921 Clemens W. Stose purchased Smith's Savoy Garage Smith's Motor Supply and Smith's Repair Shop. Laid into the album is a handwritten letter on Owl Taxi letterhead postmarked 1922. The album also contains early images of advertisements for tires and batteries along with a few other automotive-related businesses in the area. The album and photographs are in very good condition. The photographs are held in place with photo corners. The oblong black cloth album is bound with a string tie. unknown books‎

‎MCCORMICK'S CANDY AND BAKERY MARKETING AND SALES ARCHIVE‎

‎London Ontario: McCormick's Limited ca. 1953-1982. Very good . Collection of 175 C prints in various sizes: 1 One hundred and twenty-seven 3.5'' x 5'' photographs. Of these sixteen are set into posterboard displays in groups of four with the remaining 111 photos loose. The majority have only minor edgewear with a small number of loose photos showing small tears or tape to corners. 2 Twenty-four 8.5'' x 11'' prints. Moderate to heavy scuffing at corners; some foxing. 3 Thirteen 3.25 x 7/25 prints. 4 Eleven 5'' x 7'' prints. Also included: Assorted branded ephemera approximately 40 items including: company correspondence safety & sanitation posters brochures stickers three leaflets placards calendars packaging mailing envelopes inter-office memo pad petty cash slips billing and order forms. Very good plus overall with individual exceptions as noted above. <br/><br/>Vibrant archive of marketing presentation mailing advertising and sales materials for a wide assortment of primarily candy and other confections from McCormick's Limited and affiliated bakeries - consisting mainly of a colorful collection of 175 original photographs of various McCormick products. <br /> <br />The company was established in the 19th century as the McCormick Biscuit and Candy Company and by the years represented in this collection was owned by George Weston Limited producer of Wonder Bread for the Canadian market. Concerned with promotion and publicity from its early years McCormick's was a provider of biscuits to the Dionne Quintuplets a recipient of their youthful endorsements and a donor of sizable royalties to their trust fund. In an included four-page spread from September 1967's THE MERCHANDISER the company proudly notes this connection while advertising its own advertising prowess through the decades: "The brochures are attractive and mouth-watering." <br /> <br />Included brochures verify this claim; pictured products range from familiar vintage confections like cherry cordials and Walnut Shorties "WALNUTS make the difference"! to discontinued exotica like Ceylon Mallows Pie Face &" Fat Emma" candy bars a Minneapolis invention of the 1920s all but disappeared by the 1970s now extinct; Golden Humbugs Canada Lozenges and Sea Kings/Roi de la Mer. McCormick also produced accessories edible and otherwise through the Imperial Cone Company represented here by an illustrated leaflet with photos and dimensions of Torch Cones Buddy Waffles Sweetheart Straws etc. <br /> <br />The small selection of dated items range from 1953 to 1982 though most materials are undated; the majority of the archive consists of product photographs in vibrant glowing color for use in promotional materials catalogs and store displays. Most of these prints date from the 1960s through the early 1970s with several showcasing 1967 Canadian Centennial packaging. Shut down in the 2000s the abandoned McCormick factory has become a tantalizing attraction to urban explorers. <br /> <br />Though a Canadian company there is something of the quintessentially mythic innocent post-war American childhood captured in these indelible primary-color images. Simultaneously a engaging record of this important culinary company and an undeniably nostalgic document. [McCormick's Limited] unknown books‎

‎Photo Album of Northwestern University Medical School and Hospital‎

‎Evanston IL ca. 1920s. Very good . Oblong string-tied 8vo album. Flexible black cloth covers gilt-stamped. Rubbing and chipping of cloth to back cover. 76 black and white photographs mounted to sixteen black leaves recto and verso. An additional four leaves are blank. Album very good; photographs very good plus. <br/><br/>Photographs of the Northwestern University medical school campus buildings treatment facilities and a number of patients posed in various therapeutic positions or rehabilitative devices. Also included are snapshots of young medical students lounging in empty patient wards gowned for procedures and posing for portraits. A few hospital-affiliated women are shown some apparently nurses women were refused admittance to Northwestern's medical school until 1926 and then limited to four per entering class. The photographer likely a med student himself closes the album with scenes of his family and friends. <br /> <br />Among the patients photographed are a young boy his jaw heavily bandaged apparently following some form of reconstructive surgery; a young woman reclining in a wheeled chair; a man supine on a metal table with an oxygen tank underneath in the course of getting a chest x-ray; and a woman standing in a complex device head listed by a chin-strap and arms on two supportive bars. Nearly all are smiling aware of the camera and seem to be willing and eager participants in the picture-taking process.

‎Chicago: Photography‎

‎1900s Family Photo Album of Gilded Age Chicago‎

‎Chicago ca. 1900. Hardcover. 4to. Maroon cloth gilt-stamped boards scuffed and frayed at corners and spine ends. Binding a bit shaken but secure. Multiple photographs per page mounted recto and verso throughout with additional photos and ephemera laid in. Some rippling and small tears to photos/pages. About very good minus. <br/><br/>A copy of "Integral" the Illinois Institute of Technology yearbook for 1900 repurposed as a photo album and memorializing the domestic life of a close family group. Other scenes include a mixed-sex bathing party at the shore in the heavy Edwardian-styled swimming costumes of the day; two young men frolicking and lounging around a gazebo in the manner of an Edward Gorey illustration; two young women both dressed in men's heavy overalls and roughhousing or acting out a tableau; and portraits of new parents with their infant. A few mystifying poses most likely preserve some long-lost jokes while others capture many moments of physical affection in an era not known for easy emotional display in photographs. <br /> <br />Laid in are several newspaper clippings concerning members of the Ridenour family presumably pictured within; the latest dates from the 1920s though the vast majority of photographs all appear to date from the early 1900s with fashions not far ahead of those worn in those photos still visible from the yearbook itself. A small number of photos from ca. the 1910s show young men brandishing sledgehammers part of the "Red Path Chautaqua Crew" for the traveling-circuit tent show. <br /> <br />Note that one photograph towards the end of the album shows two men backs turned to the camera wearing white robes with pointed hoods; one is decorated with the crude logo of a skull and two crossed flags or axes. It is possible that these figures are wearing the costume of new Freemason initiates rather than the KKK robes they resemble the insignia resembles the Oddfellows skull-and-crossbones and the Klan was not universally identified with such costumes until 1915 and after. The identification is thus uncertain but the iconography is nevertheless highly disturbing to a modern eye; and with its placement following page after page of harmonious domestic scenes it serves as a reminder of the violent allegiances of some white Chicagoans in the period leading up to the city's anti-black riots of 1919. hardcover books‎

Containing 100 color photographs of various women smoking loosely inserted in individual sleeves one to a page both recto and verso. Marjority 5.5" x 3.5" with some smaller/trimmed. A handful annotated on versos with what are presumed to be inventory numbers and/or "Do not reproduce" statements. Two with stamp of of noted smoking fetish studio CoherentLight Photography Edmond OK. Nine images with stamp or copyright statement from legendary erotic photographer Eric Kroll. Generally fine condition. <br/><br/>Stylistically unified fetish album featuring women in various provocative poses and states of undress — all smoking. A collection likely assembled by a fellow fetishist sometime in the late nineties the collection features at least three different photographers and studios all clearly specializing in fetish images if not smoking fetish in particular as well as appropriated photos of famous women smoking Drew Barrymore Melanie Griffith Olivia Newton John Jennifer Connolly Kristin Scott Thomas etc. Most prominently at least two photos are from Edward Luisser's CoherentLight which specialized in smoking fetish images with an additional nine photos by the legendary Eric Knoll. Images from the session in this album were included in his book FETISH GIRLS Taschen 1996. We suspect the majority of the remaining images in the album are by one or both of these photographers though the balance lack stamps or identifying annotations. Nevertheless a striking collection of original professional fetish photography. np hardcover books‎
