Photography: Fetish
Photo Albums of Women Smoking
np: np ca. 1997. Fine. 12mo. Commercial red boards spiral photo album. 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

Fetish: Photography. "Marilyn"
Cross-Dressing Fetish Album
np ca. mid-1980s. Very good . Square folio brown faux-leather contemporary commercial album. Containing 97 color photographs loosely inserted in compartmented plastic sleeves six to a page. Most 3"x 5" some smaller with some Poloroids. A couple of images trimmed a few more creased. Some annotations to versos. Else well-preserved. Easily very good or better overall. <br/><br/>Large collection of almost 100 color photographs of various cross-dressers assembled by "Marilyn" addressed on versos of several photos likely a fellow enthusiast. With only minor repetition of subjects and many photos stamped with names addresses or inscribed on their versos several lengthy this collections appears to be less a portrait of a local community or established circle and more that of a practitioner reaching out through the mail undoubtedly through zines and personal ads. Further to this cataloguer at least these images seem to document primarily neither drag gay nor transgender subjects but instead to be of a more fetishistic bent � though obviously with some overlap. As the caption on one photo reads: "I really love to wear very sexy sheer silly bra panties garter belts sheer stockings high heel slippers & flowing full length sheer negligee. I feel so much like a very sensuous feminine shemale then." A smaller section 24 total of sexually explicit images segregated at the end of the album lends further credence this view. Dated photos converge around the mid-eighties a period when cross-dressing was still poorly accepted. Indeed the height of the AIDS crisis must have contributed to a feeling of even greater isolation with underground communications such as these often providing the only outlet for fellowship. A valuable document from a sexually marginalized community. hardcover

World War II: Photography
Photo Album of the Botched Allied Bombardment of the Bezuidenhout
The Hague ca. 1945. Hardcover. Near fine. Two oblong 8vo. albums. First album: 11.5" by 9" approx. String-tied faux-alligator boards. 43 gelatin-silver prints majority 3.75" by 2.5" but many 5.5" by 3.25" mounted to stiff gray leaves with cobweb-patterned tissue guards on each and handwritten captions in Dutch. Apparently complete. Near fine with several photos mildly yellowed but majority bright and sharp. Second album: 13'' by 9'' approx. String-tied grey textured paper boards. 91 gelatin-silver prints of various sizes from 3.75'' by 2.5'' to 5.5'' by 3.25'' most of the latter size on stiff blue paper with tissue guards and handwritten captions in Dutch. Also contains an anti-Hitler card affixed to the front paste-down several cards with art and verse and two sepia-toned photographs on the final page. Two 5'' scuff marks to front board album corners and edges worn and bumped otherwise near fine with bright and sharp photographs. <br/><br/>A pair of carefully assembled albums possibly compiled for official use. The majority of the photos in both albums record the aftermath of a botched Allied bombardment in the Hague on March 3 1945; the attack claimed the lives of 511 civilians and left over 20000 people homeless. Targeted at a German missile base in the occupied Netherlands bombs deployed by the Royal Air Force landed instead in the adjacent Bezuidenhout neighborhood in the Hague destroying thousands of homes business and public buildings. The photos show several bombed-out churches and many apartment buildings with street names captioned underneath. Near the end of the first album three images show the burning of the Schevenigen Pier near the Hague which the compiler blames on the Germans but whose exact cause has never been established. The album forms a direct account of wartime destruction in the Netherlands. The second album much more extensive includes some of the same material along with many other photographs. Affixed to the front paste-down is a black-bordered satirical memorial card for Hitler reading in Dutch "He came.but not to England / He saw.Moscow / He lost.the war." Beginning with two views of The Hague one in 1930 and one apparently mid-bombardment labeled March 3 1945 it also includes numerous scenes of destroyed buildings and monuments identified by street name. Some of these overlap with images from the first album; many do not. In addition to those showing the aftermath of the bombing several photos show intact monuments and buildings from neighboring cities like Middelburg possibly as a point of comparison with the ones destroyed. A few pages show photographs of various Bailey bridges at unspecified locations and other wartime construction. The final page of uncaptioned photos includes a shot of a pro-Hitler slogan painted in Dutch on a bridge underpass and a photo of several posters including a Dutch advertisement for "De Eeuwige Jood" The Eternal Jew a German propaganda film. A final leaf follows with two pro-R.A.F. cards with verses and drawings and three souvenir cards of Queen Wilhelmina Princess Juliana and her children Beatrix and Irene. The final page has two sepia-toned photos of a parade presumably celebrating the war's end. An important act of witnessing from an unfortunate event. hardcover

NYC Celebrity Selfie Photo Archive
New York ca. mid-2010s. Fine. Collection of 208 photo prints all 4" by 6". Generally fine. Many include felt-tip notations to verso and a few have been altered with marker to obscure faces in background. <br/><br/>Archive of selfies taken by one man next to celebrities on the street in New York during the mid 2010s judging by the handful of captions most dated 2014 presumably on disposable cameras. The photographer was clearly quite committed to this hobby finding celebrities at public events or simply walking on the street; he uniformly smiles in the photos and in many gives a thumbs up. Displaying varying degrees of enthusiasm the subjects appear mostly to be sports and/or wrestling figures but actors and other media personalities are common. This cataloger was able to identify Method Man Snoop Dogg Nick Cannon Steve Harvey Robert Duvall Kiefer Sutherland Ryan Seacrest Kevin Hart Jason Alexander Snooki Laverne Cox Uzo Aduba Jim Carrey Matthew Broderick x2 Jason Bateman Artie Lange Kevin Bacon Cedric the Entertainer Jessica Simpson Seth Rogen Lorne Michaels Ozzy Osbourne Keith Olbermann Cal Ripken Jr. Paula Abdul Amy Schumer Vince McMahon and Mr. T. It has been said the selfie is of late replacing the autograph as the favored celebrity token; this collection certainly supports that observation. unknown

Photography: Natural Disasters: Railroads
B & N.W. Bengal & North Western Railway: Views of the Great Behar Earthquake of 15th January 1934 Photo Album
India: Bengal and North Western Railway Company 193-. Very good . Small 4to. album. Stamped leather label affixed to front board. Very good plus to near fine. 14 leaves each with photographs and typewritten sheets mounted on rectos and versos. Contains 68 mounted photographs 21 of which are cyanotypes with handwritten captions underneath; also includes one blueprint map mounted on inside rear cover. Complete. Pages show light rippling here and there; several show mild edgewear. Else clean and sharp. <br/><br/>An English-language photographic record of the damages wreaked on India's Bengal and North Western Railway by the Nepal-Bihar earthquake of 1934 which remains one of the worst earthquakes in Indian history. As the album's introductory text puts it "of the 2100 miles comprising the Bengal and North Western and Tirhur Railways it may be said that on the 900 miles traversing North Behar and the eastern United Provinces hardly a mile of track was undisturbed." Not limited to photos of the track itself the images show crumbling railroad stations engine sheds dwellings bungalows and factories adjacent to the railroad all in various degrees of ruin. The album appears to have been produced for the Railway's own archives and does not appear in OCLC. As the captions are handwritten this album is more than likely the only example. An important record of this deadly disaster which Gandhi famously interpreted as divine retribution for India's failure to abolish the untouchable dalit caste.

Photo Album Documenting the Cultivation of Sumatran Tobacco
Sumatra ca. 1910. Near fine. Oblong photo album measuring 7� x 10� approx. String-bound padded boards in Indonesian batik cloth. 32 sepia-toned photographs glue mounted recto and verso each measuring 6� x 4.25� approx. Minor soil to cloth with touches of wear at corners. Page edges very lightly worn. Sunning at extremities. Tissue guards edge-worn and creased. Photographs generally fine. Near fine overall. <br/><br/>Photo album of an Sumatran likely East tobacco plantation taken by an accomplished and likely professional photographer. Includes crisp and detailed photographs of the fields planting cultivation harvest various processing areas drying etc. buildings landscapes and many striking portraits of workers and other native Indonesians. Laborers much in evidence throughout including several images showing what are likely Chinese immigrant workers more than 300000 emigrated between 1870 and 1930 to work the plantations after tobacco's introduction to Sumatra in the 1860s. The album opens with several individual studio portraits likely the plantation owners or other Sumatran officials suggesting this was assembled with promotional purposes in mind. Nevertheless an intimate look at the tobacco industry in Indonesia around the turn of the century taken by an accomplished photographer. Perhaps more than any other region of the world tobacco remains an integral part of Indonesian life with some of the highest smoking rates anywhere. Therefore an important document in the development of Indonesian culture during the peak years of tobacco production in the region. [Sumatra] hardcover

Photography: Trade Catalogues: Toys. Cascelloid / Palitoy
Toy Catalogue of the Cascelloid / Palitoy Co. with Photographic Prints
Leicester UK: Cascelloid ca. 1930s. Very good . 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. <br/><br/>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. [Cascelloid] hardcover

Album of Liquid Storage Tank Photographs Most Industrial Culinary
Midwest U.S. ca. 1913-1917. Very good. Oblong small 4to. Commercial string-tied album in black textured wraps. 58 cyanotype 11" by 8.25" and 55 gelatin-silver prints most 9.5" by 7.25" some 6" by 3.5" or smaller; four of the latter apparently perished. Adhesive-mounted recto and verso on black paper sheets. Very good. Some glue-bleaching to cyanotypes' edges. Many pages cleanly detatched from from perforated tabs but photos remain clean. <br/><br/>Album of storage tanks agitators and other liquid-related metal machinery photos compiled by the manufacturer which � judging by the locations of most of its clients � was located somewhere in the Midwestern United States. Majority of the photos show a single piece of equipment captioned with its order number destination e.g. "National Ice Cream Co. San Francisco" the product name e.g. "Deep Upright Closed Tank" shipment date dimensions and other relevant notes; several images show the product installed in its destination factory but most appear to have been taken before shipment. Many clients were ice-cream and other dairy processing plants and the majority were American; but a few were international including the Nestle plant in Switzerland and a Cuban brewery. Among the American non-dairy plants were the Coors brewery in Colorado a Perth Amboy chemical plant and a California paint manufacturer. Two images depict a dozen salesmen posing at the tank factory and others show factory workers in motion. Likely assembled as a salesman's book or perhaps company archive with its many cyanotypes a striking vernacular book and an informative record of industrial food preparation at the dawn of the Ford age. paperback

Collection of Printing Photographs from New York School of Printing
New York. Very good. 138 black and white photographs. 64 are approx. 8'' by 10'' or 7'' by 9'' the remainder of the collection in assorted smaller sizes. Many photos curled a few creased and a very few with small tears to edges. Majority very good or better. Approximately a third of the photos have a typed descriptive label attached to the back; others have notes in pen or pencil identifying the subjects. Of the remainder many have a photographer's stamp on the back but are otherwise unlabelled. <br/><br/>Photographs of student printers and instructors nearly all from the New York School of Printing most dated from the mid-1950s through the late 1960s. Many photographs have a detailed description attached e.g. "NYSP students in basement with shipping crates" with one accompanied by a press release from the Printing Education Week Committee. Several images of work in progress have an attached technical description on the reverse explaining the process shown in the photo: e.g. "Registering and Assembling Negatives and Transparencies" "Checking Negative Register" "Burning an Offset Plate" "Preparing 'flats' for contact to blueprint prior to plating" "Hand Composition" "Color Mixing" "Journeymen Instruction in Teletypesetter Operation at the School for Printers Apprentices of The New York School of Printing." Other photos show exhibits from a Printing Education week; high school and college lectures on printing; bookbinding and letterpress classes; exterior shots of the former NYSP building on 49th St. from 1956; design process and scale models for the new NYSP building opened in 1960 and multiple shots of its construction process; and industry booths at a printing trade show or exhibition. Identified subjects include journeymen primters and instructors; representatives of the New York Printing Pressmen's Union #51; and many others identified by name only. One series of 1961 photos showing a tour of a printing workshop bears the stamp "Official Photograph Board of Education - City of New York." Another small set shows a "Printing in Japan" exhibit with several smaller snapshots labeled "Jap Interview" sic. Most photographs are dated between 1951 and 1968 with the largest concentrations in 1956 and '60-61. Photographs lacking a date or description appear to date from the same era with a few exceptions: one photo dated 1943 two 8'' by 10'' enlargements dated 1926 and one 4'' by 5'' photo dated 1933 labelled "Industrial High School / Class in Appreciation of Printing - Studying Foreign Types." unknown

Photography: Americana: High School. TUCKER Robert H.
Midcentury Photo Album of a High Schooler in Upstate New York
Poughkeepsie 1948-1951. Very good . Oblong 16mo. Commercial string-tied album white boards. 225 gelatin-silver prints 2.5" by 3.25" corner-mounted on black paper with captions in white ink. Apparently complete. Very good plus. Mild touches of wear along page edges; many captions a bit smudged; else clean and sound. <br/><br/>A evocative collection of photographs taken and compiled by Robert H. Tucker while he was a student at MIT of his high school career at Poughkeepsie's Arlington High School where he graduated with the class of 1950. Tucker called this album his "own yearbook" and it indeed shares a great deal with conventional yearbook style with humorous captions "A test Oh no!" and attention to a wide range of faculty staff and student activities both in and out of the classroom. Subjects include track meets baseball games cheerleaders teachers at the blackboard students at work in the library a special event including donkey-riding in the gym commencement and other activities. More than mere yearbook however the album reveals Tucker to be a natural photographer with an eye for both composition and POV; his sports shots are especially vibrant often crisply capturing athletes in the midst of the action. A detailed album capturing the dawn of the post-war American teenager. Indeed quintessentially so; we are tempted to call this an almost Platonically ideal example of the high school album. hardcover

Very good. Mild exterior wear; light soil to plastic sleeves throughout; but photos remain clean and bright. <br/><br/>Striking collection of photographs showing many carefree recreational moments of wartime: soldiers sitting around at the barracks reading and smoking; many photos of smiling Vietnamese women including girls at the base library.

Photography: Missionaries: Japan
Photo Album of a Lutheran Missionary in Japan
ca. 1920-1931 Kyushu Japan. Very good . Oblong 4to. String-tied commecial album; black boards. Contains 57 gelatin-silver prints of various sizes including 8" by 10" 7.5" by 5" and smaller most of which are adhesive-mounted with several loose plus 11 postcards depicting Kyushu Lutheran churches and one bookmark. One photograph apparently perished; several others loosening from pages. Else apparently complete.Album edges moderately worn; one photo missing a chunk at edge. Most are lightly toned but overall clean. Very good or better. <br/><br/>Well-assembled photo album compiled by an American Lutheran missionary to Japan whose face appears consistently in the majority of the photographs. The island of Kyushu is home to several Lutheran schools and churches including the Kyushu Gakuin Kyushu Lutheran College and the Janice James School both of which are pictured here having recently been built in the early 1900's. The Kyushu Lutheran mission was founded in 1893 by American missionaries; within several years they began building churches under the supervision of one Charles Lafayette Brown 1874-1921 and presumably the subjects pictured here with members of that particualr mission. The album features posed group photographs of large congregations � as large as roughly 150 � captioned with date and location in cities including Kurume Kamamoto and Saga; additionally included are many images of church services in progress plus several family portraits of church members. While Christianity began to spread when Japan phased out its isolationist policies in the 1850s Protestant evangilization in particular slowed under the military government of the Showa period the early years of which are covered by this album.These anti-Western trends were closely tied to the patriotic fervor that culminated in WWII. An absorbing visual archive of a prospering Protestant community and of American missionary activity in Imperial Japan. hardcover

Photography: Native Americana. RITTER E. Carl Photographer?
HOT LUNCH AT ALL HOURS Original Photograph
Akron OH ca. 1905. Near fine. Original vintage gelatin silver photograph 8.25" x 5.125" approx. on contemporary mount 9" x 6". Mild wear. Some silvering to image. Near fine overall. Titled and numbered in the negative. <br/><br/>A skilled and moving portrait of a Native American family probably Mojave with an unfortunately common and typically racist title along the top edge. Captured in-studio the image shows a husband and wife with their infant child. The father stands his wife seated beside and nursing the baby. Variations on this subject and title native and black women with nursing child were not uncommon at this time. But whereas most examples usually featured an intentionally unflattering image this photo � considered without its offensive sentiment � offers a frank objective and almost tender appraisal of its subject not unlike the photographs Edward Curtis was taking during this period. Though numbered in the negative the image is unsigned and uncredited. However a brief review in a 1903 issue of The St. Louis and Canadian Photographer mentions a photograph apparently matching this image credited to one E. Carl Ritter of Akron though we've been unable to confirm or find any further information on Ritter. Nevertheless a striking portrait of a turn-of-the-century Native American family in period attire with title reflecting period attitudes. unknown

Photography : Real Estate
Slide Archive of a Southern California Realtor
San Diego California 1971-1972. Approximately 1300 color slides with roughly 250 additional color film negatives and 37 individual manuscript real estate listing forms. Slides approximately 2" square; negatives approximately 1 1/4" square. Slides with mild to moderate dusting some with residue from previous rubber band wrappings most with relevent ink notations to margins. Negatives fine in glassine storage wrappers. Overall contents very good. Slides housed in new archival pages and three dust-proof binders. <br/><br/>Before Zillow Trulia and Redfin: this swank archive and others like it of images from the Sessions Realty firm of La Mesa California. Consisting of hundreds of sales display slides and negatives of exteriors and interiors from San Diego-area homes accompanied by more than 3 dozen descriptive forms listing home amenities prices descriptions etc. these images were undoubtedly used for marketing to prosceptive buyers. Shag carpet macrame orange and brown color palettes rec rooms bold wallpapers Formica wood paneling and other Better Homes and Gardens details much in evidence � all exhibiting a strong Southern California flair. A dense thorough and vibrant assembly of period design and architecture offering a rich record of residential real estate in a significantly active market. And while the unknown photographers certainly wanted to simply document the houses what emerges is a rather hauntingly mundane narrative where no real action takes place but yet something nevertheless lingers � like crime scene photographs but without the crime. Vernacular Ruscha; Brady Bunch nostalgia meets California Dreaming. unknown
