1914rif. 231551914. Caribbean photograph album likely compiled by a person connected to the Panama Canal Zone and the Caribbean documenting how steamship mobility port circulation and U.S. imperial presence linked Jamaica Venezuela Trinidad Barbados Cuba Puerto Rico the Bahamas Florida and Panama in the years after the canal opened. The felt cover lettered "PANAMA" and bearing the Seal of the Canal Zone places the album within the new travel geography created by U.S. control of the Canal Zone and the canal's 1914 opening when Panama became a central hinge between Atlantic and Pacific movement and a major point of contact between North American travelers and Caribbean port cities. Photos show passengers on steamers and docks markets and streets forts and government buildings and repeated encounters between white visitors and Afro Caribbean and mixed-heritage residents across multiple colonial and semi-colonial settings. Panama Canal Zone travel photograph album. Caribbean and circum-Caribbean locations including Kingston Jamaica; La Guaira and Caracas Venezuela; Trinidad; Key West and Palm Beach Florida; Havana Cuba; Barbados; Panama City Balboa and Colón Panama; Nassau Bahamas; and San Juan Puerto Rico. Likely circa mid 1910s to early 1920s. Oblong felt-covered album measuring 6.5" x 11" with "PANAMA" stitched in large letters on the front cover and photographs pasted to grey leaves. Contains more than 160 black-and-white photographs most approximately 2.5 x 4.5 inches many with handwritten captions identifying locations activities and occasional names. The sequence opens in Kingston with captions including "Kingston JA" and "on the steamer" then moves through island and mainland stops; "Port of Spain Trinidad" "Market at Barbados" "Rapid Transit Barbados" "Havana Cuba" "San Juan Porto Rico" "Morro Castle" "Balboa" and "Colon R.P." Repeated figures especially a young college-aged woman and an older woman appear throughout. Notable images include a group of locals in shallow water at Barbados sifting for tossed coins from rowboats; a large crowd scene in San Juan gathered for what appears to be a public speech or civic event; battlements cannon and stone defenses in Havana; vernacular dwellings and children in impoverished conditions in Balboa; posed visitor photographs in what is labeled a "bull ring"; and numerous street dockside market and architectural views that juxtapose local populations with hotels public buildings ruins and newer urban construction. The album's historical force comes from the way it captures the social landscape of Caribbean travel under early twentieth-century U.S. power. After 1914 the Canal Zone intensified Panama's role within a wider American maritime sphere while Caribbean travel increasingly moved through port infrastructures shaped by empire commerce military strategy and tourism; this album records that world at eye level with photographs of docks steamers fortifications government sites public squares and local street life rather than limiting themselves to family snapshots alone. At the same time the images preserve the unequal human encounters built into that system especially where visitors photograph Black children boatmen market crowds and working neighborhoods as part of the travel experience. Felt cover worn and soiled with losses at edges and stitching strain; leaves brittle with chipping and tears; photographs generally present and legible with silvering fading corner wear and occasional losses or lifting. Overall fair to good condition. A substantial early twentieth-century visual record of Canal Zone connected Caribbean travel with dense captioning and wide geographic reach from Jamaica and Barbados to Havana San Juan and Panama. unknown

Damron Bob Lindsy Van Gelder Pamela Robin Brandt Hanns Ebensten and others archive of seven travel publications and related materials dating from 1987 to 2003 documents the development of queer travel infrastructure and the circulation of information necessary for LGBTQ individuals to navigate public space safely in the late twentieth century.

1830rif. 2859Paris, Veuve TURGIS, sans date (circa 1830). Dimensions : 64 x 47 cm. Gravure collée sur carton. Rarissime grand jeu de l’oie napoléonien, gravé sur papier vergé et contrecollé sur carton pour former un plateau dépliant, qui retrace les événements de la vie du consul, puis de l'empereur Napoléon Ier, notamment les célèbres batailles. Il est composé de 63 cases qui mènent les joueurs jusqu’à la Colonne Vendôme, érigée entre 1806 et 1810 pour commémorer la bataille d'Austerlitz. Case 1 : « Allocution de Napoléon » - Case 63 : « Ah qu’on est fière (sic) d’être français quand on regarde la Colonne ». Les cases du jeu où se trouvent habituellement les oies sont occupées par des aigles impériaux accompagnés de la devise « La Gloire fut toujours son guide. ». Henri René D'ALLEMAGNE, Le Noble Jeu de l'Oie en France, de 1640 à 1950, p. 215.
1906rif. 2854Paris, K-B (Kratz-Boussac), circa 1906. 26,5 x 20 x 5 cm. Boîte recouverte de papier rouge. Titre doré sur le couvercle. La Boîte Magique est un jouet magnétique créé à l'origine par Abraham Martin, ingénieur mécanicien, qui déposa son brevet en France le 21 décembre 1894 avant de céder ses droits à Henri Kratz-Boussac en janvier 1906. Ce dernier, fondateur de la célèbre "Société des inventions brevetées" et de la marque Euréka, commercialisa alors le jouet sous sa propre marque. Malgré son nom évocateur, le principe est purement magnétique : à l'intérieur d'un boîtier en métal chromé, un mécanisme entraîne en rotation un ou plusieurs volants à axe aimanté, lequel — actionné par une crémaillère — communique son mouvement à des figurines [en chromos, en papier crépon et cure pipe, en simple fil de fer torsadé, ou encore en tôle lithographiée (train et poisson)] posées sur des patins métalliques glissant sur la surface lisse de la boîte, s'animant ainsi en va-et-vient ou en rotation. Cette version de la boîte magique de Kratz-Boussac, avec ses sept compartiments, correspond vraisemblablement à la version de luxe, bien plus généreuse en figurines et accessoires que les modèles courants à deux compartiments décrits dans les catalogues de l'époque.

1900rif. 223161900. Early twentieth century Mexico documented in photographs and real photo postcards depicting rural life Indigenous labor archaeological sites and urban landscapes during the decades surrounding the Mexican Revolution. The images record scenes of everyday activity alongside monumental remains of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations illustrating the cultural landscape of Mexico during a period when tourism archaeology and national identity formation increasingly emphasized the country's Indigenous heritage. Photographs of markets domestic work agricultural labor and village life provide visual evidence of social conditions and cultural practices within rural communities during the early twentieth century. Archive of thirty nine black and white real photo postcards and photographs dating from approximately the 1900s through the 1920s. Many images contain captions printed in the negative in English or Spanish identifying locations and subjects. Several photographs depict well known archaeological sites including views of the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan and detailed images of the carved serpent heads of the Temple of Quetzalcoatl. Other photographs document rural environments and community life including images labeled "Xochimilco Mex." showing canal traffic and canoe riders navigating the waterways near Mexico City. One real photo postcard captioned "Haciendo tortillas" depicts Indigenous women preparing tortillas over open fires surrounded by cooking vessels and firewood. Additional photographs show thatched roof dwellings agricultural labor including men harvesting agave plants and scenes of local marketplaces. A group portrait depicting Mexican soldiers alongside women and children suggests the presence of military or political activity during the revolutionary era. The photographs reflect a period when Mexico's archaeological monuments and Indigenous communities were increasingly photographed by travelers ethnographers and publishers producing visual material for both domestic and international audiences. After the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920 intellectual and political movements promoting indigenismo emphasized Indigenous heritage as a central component of Mexican national culture while archaeological research at sites such as Teotihuacan gained international attention. Real photo postcards circulated widely during this period and served both as souvenirs and as documentary images of landscapes monuments and local communities. Photographs and postcards generally measure approximately 3 x 5 inches and remain preserved as loose prints. Minor edge wear and surface toning visible with occasional curling at the corners; most images retain strong contrast and clarity. Overall very good condition. The archive provides a varied photographic record of Mexican cultural life Indigenous communities and archaeological sites in the early twentieth century. unknown

1905rif. 231541905. Texas HistoryBorderlands U.S.-Mexico borderlands photograph album 1905-1906 centered on El Paso and Juárez with additional views in New Mexico Arizona California Oregon and Alaska. The album documents an early twentieth-century traveler's movement through the southern border of the U.S. when El Paso and Ciudad Juárez were being promoted through rail travel tourism and cross-border entertainment and when American visitors regularly treated Mexican religious sites plazas bullrings and street life as part of a border excursion circuit. Its strongest historical value lies in the concentration of images tied to the Texas-Mexico border including Juárez bullfight and cockfight scenes street and church views and domestic group portraits in El Paso alongside a labeled photograph of a Santo Domingo Pueblo corn dance likely Kewa Pueblo north of Albuquerque showing non-Native travelers recording Indigenous life in the Southwest. Photograph album containing 81 original photographs most measuring approximately 2 x 3 to 4 x 5 inches mounted on thick black paper leaves in a cloth-bound album. Contemporary manuscript captions identify numerous locations and subjects including "El Paso Tex" "Juarez Mex" "Bull Fight" "Cock Fight" "Near Albuquerque 1906" "1906 New Mexico" "New Mexico 1905" "Juarez Mex Church over 350 years old" and "Corn Dance. Santo Domingo." Visible subjects include family and social group portraits posed on porches and in front of residences; women in white dresses and men in coats hats and ties; a tree-lined park path in El Paso; religious architecture and church interiors in Juárez; a fountain identified as Robinson Park in Albuquerque; river and landscape views labeled Rio Grande; a saguaro cactus study; a donkey; a seated elderly woman in a doorway; and multiple arena photographs showing matadors horses attendants spectators and ring action in Juárez. Several photographs bear later ink inscriptions including one later image of five men captioned "Alaska" en recto and with names on verso including "Mayor Goldstein" a prominent Jewish businessman and six time Juneau Mayor Isadore Goldstein. The album records border travel encompassing scenes of domestic life in El Paso tourism in Juárez and excursions into New Mexico and the wider West. The Juárez images are especially strong preserving direct vernacular views of public spectacle in the bullring and cockfight pit as well as church architecture and urban settings seen from the perspective of a visiting American observer. Photographs mounted throughout; some images faded or silvered with scattered surface wear corner wear occasional discoloration and a few later annotations or tape remnants visible.

Its strongest historical value lies in the concentration of images tied to the Texas-Mexico border including Juárez bullfight and cockfight scenes street and church views and domestic group portraits in El Paso alongside a labeled photograph of a Santo Domingo Pueblo corn dance likely Kewa Pueblo north of Albuquerque showing non-Native travelers recording Indigenous life in the Southwest. Photograph album containing 81 original photographs most measuring approximately 2 x 3 to 4 x 5 inches mounted on thick black paper leaves in a cloth-bound album. Contemporary manuscript captions identify numerous locations and subjects including "El Paso Tex" "Juarez Mex" "Bull Fight" "Cock Fight" "Near Albuquerque 1906" "1906 New Mexico" "New Mexico 1905" "Juarez Mex Church over 350 years old" and "Corn Dance. Santo Domingo." Visible subjects include family and social group portraits posed on porches and in front of residences; women in white dresses and men in coats hats and ties; a tree-lined park path in El Paso; religious architecture and church interiors in Juárez; a fountain identified as Robinson Park in Albuquerque; river and landscape views labeled Rio Grande; a saguaro cactus study; a donkey; a seated elderly woman in a doorway; and multiple arena photographs showing matadors horses attendants spectators and ring action in Juárez. Several photographs bear later ink inscriptions including one later image of five men captioned "Alaska" en recto and with names on verso including "Mayor Goldstein" a prominent Jewish businessman and six time Juneau Mayor Isadore Goldstein. The album records border travel encompassing scenes of domestic life in El Paso tourism in Juárez and excursions into New Mexico and the wider West. The Juárez images are especially strong preserving direct vernacular views of public spectacle in the bullring and cockfight pit as well as church architecture and urban settings seen from the perspective of a visiting American observer.
