Coulter Francis; California Women Los Angeles
Photograph Album Belonging to Francis Coulter a Young Socialite in Los Angeles c. 1899
Los Angeles and Vicinity 1899. Oblong quarto green cloth 11 ¾ x 5 ¾ inches with 98 photographs. Very Good. Frances Coulter the daughter of a department store magnate in turn-of-the-century Los Angeles was a socialite who regularly made the society pages of Los Angeles newspapers. The collection of photographs here - preserved in their original oblong green cloth album - give a candid look at upper class California in the 1890s. The bulk of the images show Frances and her friends in varied scenes of society gaiety: dressed formally on the beaches staging goofy scenes including a mock proposal drinking from a water hose and many scenes involving costumes and umbrellas. Some of the photographs interestingly were taken with a Kodak No. 2 camera which was in production until 1895 producing distinct circular images. Some of the scenes show the beaches of Santa Monica. Overall the collection offers an uncommon look into Los Angeles at the end of the 1890s when the city had only 100000 residents. Frances's father B.F. Coulter was a minister from Kentucky and some of the photographs show the Coulters at home. A very good collection images with slight fading album with a slightly musty odor but overall well preserved. books

He also wrote novels, short stories, essays and criticism, and translated of Russian literature. He married Helen Kestner (1893-1960), who was also an author, under the pseudonym Sybil Norton.

Our extremely detailed scroll depicts many kinds of aristocratic and court attire and accessories worn for these official occasions.

Also depicted are diagrams of the parts of the hakama 袴¸ for the lower part of the woman's body. Included are notes on appropriate combinations of colors hair ornaments fans and hair styles.<br /> <BR> <BR> MEN'S ATTIRE: Five of the sheets contain diagrams of the parts of noshi ç›´è¡£ court robes of the Heian period and suikan æ°´å¹² a single-breasted over-robe with open sides worn by lower-ranking Heian courtiers along with its trousers with another sheet devoted to large diagrams of patterns woven into the trousers' fabric. Two sheets depict two types of the head ornament kanmuri å† the lacquered court cap worn by male aristocrats and officials at the Japanese imperial court shown from different aspects. The final sheet depicts the parts of various kinds of hitatare ç›´åž‚ a two-piece samurai outfit consisting of a long-sleeved jacket with open sides and matching hakama trousers.<br /> <BR> <BR> SWORDS & ARROWS. Two examples of a shirizaya 尻鞘 and an efu 衛府 traditional stylized scabbards for tachi swords. One is decorated with feathers and the other is lacquered and encrusted with fine gold ornaments.

Cowgirl Women
Women's History Western Americana Cowgirl Archive Depicting Armed Women Riders 1880s-1920
1880. Cowgirl imagery in late nineteenth and early twentieth century American visual culture documents the public fascination with women performers and riders associated with rodeo culture Wild West exhibitions and frontier mythology. Eighteen postcards dating from approximately the 1880s through the early 1920s depict cowgirls mounted on horseback performing actions associated with Western riding culture including firing revolvers and rifles galloping across open terrain and lassoing livestock. The images correspond to a period when female riders and sharpshooters gained national attention through rodeo competitions traveling Wild West shows and early popular media representations of the American frontier. Several postcards depict identifiable rodeo performers including Gene Fisher and Mildred Douglas whose participation reflects the visibility of women riders in Western entertainment and exhibition culture.<br /> <br /> Eighteen postcards dating from approximately the 1880s to about 1920 depicting cowgirls in action poses across Western landscapes. The archive includes both real photo postcards and printed postcards produced using color lithography and chromolithography several of which feature embossed design elements. Each postcard measures approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches. The scenes portray women riders equipped with bandoliers pistols and rifles while mounted on horseback amid rugged Western environments populated by wild horses and cattle. One image shows a rider firing a revolver with visible muzzle flash as the horse rears back while another depicts a cowgirl swinging a lasso above her head. A real photo postcard shows rodeo rider Gene Fisher mounted on horseback and another image depicts female rodeo cowgirl Mildred Douglas riding a bucking steer. Several postcards contain handwritten messages referencing Western towns and travel including one reading "Dear Uncle Brainard is quite a town and plenty of saloons here."<br /> <br /> Visual representations of cowgirls became an established element of American frontier mythology during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries shaped by traveling Wild West shows rodeo exhibitions and early illustrated postcards circulated as souvenirs of Western identity. Performers such as female sharpshooters and rodeo riders appeared alongside male counterparts in popular entertainment challenging conventional gender expectations by presenting women as skilled riders marksmen and performers in public spectacles of frontier life. These postcards reflect the intersection of popular print culture and the romanticized imagery of the American West during the decades when rodeos and frontier reenactments were widely promoted as symbols of national heritage. Eighteen postcards measuring approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches. Colors remain bright on the printed examples and the photographic postcards retain clear contrast. Minor handling wear typical of early twentieth century postcards. Overall condition very good. unknown
