1939ref. 236791939. Mexico travel album documenting archaeology bullfighting urban leisure regional performance religious architecture and roadside travel from 1931 to 1939 during the first major expansion of tourism under the postrevolutionary government. The photographs follow visitors through Mexico City and its surrounding attractions presenting Teotihuacan Xochimilco public markets tropical landscapes and the bullring as components of a modern national itinerary. Mexican authorities during the 1930s institutionalized tourism within government policy and used historic centers architecture cultural traditions and natural scenery to shape an internationally recognizable image of the country.

1920ref. 2354Paris, L. Saussine éditeur, sans date (circa 1910-1920). Planche chromolithographiée de très grand format (65 x 80 cm), destinée à illustrer un plateau de jeu évoquant les débuts de l’aviation, probablement issu du stock inutilisé de la prolifique maison Saussine (1860-1960) et jamais édité. Il s’agit d’un jeu de parcours de type jeu de l’oie, mais comptant 90 cases : au départ, dans un décor de meeting aérien qui attire une foule enthousiaste, un biplan décolle, puis effectue un trajet sinueux, dans le ciel, croisant dirigeable ou divers aéroplanes, sur fond de paysages tout aussi variés (montagnes enneigées, lacs et cascades, mers et océans, champs et pâtures, oasis avec ses pyramides évoquant l’Egypte, voûte céleste étoilée surplombant une architecture orientale…). A l’issue de ce voyage riche en péripéties (vents plus ou moins favorables, accidents techniques, collisions, chutes…), le vainqueur atterrit, comme il se doit, à Paris, au pied de la Tour Eiffel. Très belle image, fidèle à la qualité des productions de Léon Saussine et de ses successeurs, l'une des principales fabriques de jeux de Paris. Elle s'inspire très nettement du « Jeu de la Conquête de l’Air » édité en Allemagne par J.W. Spear & Söhne vers 1910, qui comptait, lui, 85 stations, et scénographiait l’ensemble en bord de mer. Pour des raisons de sécurité, l'affiche sera expédiée enroulée.

1930ref. 224461930. Caribbean and Panama travel photograph album. circa early 1930s. This album documents interwar travel through the Panama Canal Zone and Jamaica recording maritime transit canal infrastructure and rural Caribbean life as observed by Western travelers. The photographs provide primary visual evidence of the Panama Canal as a site of industrial activity and international movement alongside scenes of Jamaican village life and landscape establishing a contrast between engineered environments and colonial rural settings. The material is particularly strong in its depiction of canal operations and the presence of local populations within these spaces. Album containing 29 silver gelatin photographs mounted on black leaves with individual prints measuring approximately 3.5 x 4.5 to 5 x 7 inches housed in a string-bound album measuring approximately 7 x 9.5 inches. The opening sequence shows passengers aboard a steamship with men and women posed along deck rails and views of ships navigating canal locks and docking areas. Additional images depict cranes drawbridges canal cuts and small boats in the water along with dock workers and uniformed personnel visible among travelers. Architectural and infrastructural views include colonial-style buildings and mechanical equipment associated with canal operation concluding with a monument identified as that of Vasco Núñez de Balboa in Panama City. The Jamaica sequence includes landscape views of hillsides and gardens along with images of Black Jamaican residents posed in village settings. One photograph bears the caption "Kingston Jamaica 10 -- S.S. 'Reliance' West Indies Cruise" showing children and adults gathered along a dirt road lined with wooden and metal-roofed structures. Other images show groups assembled beneath trees and within rural surroundings. Produced during a period when the Panama Canal served as a major conduit for global shipping under U.S. administration and Caribbean travel formed part of organized cruise itineraries the album reflects established routes of interwar tourism. The juxtaposition of canal engineering and Jamaican village scenes situates the photographs within broader patterns of travel that linked industrial infrastructure with colonial landscapes. Minor water rippling to pages and photographs; images remain clear; overall very good. A coherent travel album documenting canal operations and Caribbean life in the early twentieth century. unknown

Produced during a period when the Panama Canal served as a major conduit for global shipping under U.S. administration and Caribbean travel formed part of organized cruise itineraries the album reflects established routes of interwar tourism. The juxtaposition of canal engineering and Jamaican village scenes situates the photographs within broader patterns of travel that linked industrial infrastructure with colonial landscapes. Minor water rippling to pages and photographs; images remain clear; overall very good. A coherent travel album documenting canal operations and Caribbean life in the early twentieth century. unknown books
1951ref. 233771951. 1950s Clearwater Florida photographed by George L. Fulmer documenting real estate expansion and early housing and rental marketing showing how ranch houses apartment courts furnished efficiencies and street addressed properties were presented during the postwar Sunbelt expansion of Pinellas County. After World War II Florida's housing market was pushed by returning veterans retirees northern migrants automobile commuting and seasonal tourism while federal mortgage programs and private development made small houses garden apartments and furnished rentals central to the state's growth. Fulmer's commercial assignments connect that boom to named local properties: each job envelope ties the house or rental unit to a studio number client or property name address and in several cases a 1951 date. The archive reveals how Clearwater real estate moved through a practical commercial process with repeated exterior records interior room studies duplicate proofs and labeled job packets created for owners brokers and rental promotion. Photo archive of 47 items including 25 silver gelatin photographs and 22 large scale negatives. Many photographs have correlating negatives while some negatives contain unique images. Contained in 6 original photo studio envelopes. Photographs measure approximately 3 x 5 inches and negatives 4 x 5 inches Clearwater Florida circa 1951. Exteriors include one story ranch houses with low hip and gable roofs picture windows shutters carports mowed lawns curbside plantings palm trees shell or gravel yards television antennas and street frontage arranged for automobile approach. Apartment material includes a roadside sign reading "Bright Water Apts" with "Vacancy" a two story rental building set behind trees and a long low apartment row with a fenced yard and children's play equipment. Interiors include living rooms staged with patterned sofas lounge chairs framed floral and figural prints table lamps venetian blinds wall rugs and coffee tables; bedrooms with paired beds dressers and striped coverlets; small dining alcoves set with tables and chairs; and compact kitchens built around metal cabinets white sinks refrigerators cooktops wall ovens and built in storage. Fulmer photographs the houses apartments furnishings appliances and rental readiness as the product. Studio envelopes preserve job numbers and partly legible entries including Bright Water Apts Nokomis 1021 235 Bayshore Dr. 315 Venetian St. 420 Brightwater Mary Ann Apts Beach and dated jobs from July August September and October 1951. These photographs were taken in the decade when Clearwater shifted from a compact Gulf Coast resort city toward a year round Sunbelt housing market shaped by suburban lots furnished rentals small apartment complexes and real estate photography meant to make properties legible to buyers and tenants before arrival. The interior shots record what was being sold inside the walls from tropical curtains tile floors small dining rooms compact kitchenettes wall ovens living rooms sized for seasonal use and domestic decoration calibrated for a middle class Florida market. The address level job records support comparison with city directories tax records property files architectural surveys and later redevelopment histories making the archive usable for reconstructing specific Clearwater buildings rather than only identifying broad mid century style. Negatives show handling wear and envelopes show toning and some small tears. Overall in very good condition. unknown
