18738vo., First US Edition [Later Issue]; original pictorial mustard cloth blocked and lettered in black, backstrip lettered in gilt and black, very neatly rebacked with old backstrip laid down, original printed endpapers wholly preserved, covers very lightly age-soiled (but every detail of the blocking bright and clear), corners very lightly bruised without material damage, a remarkably bright, clean copy. HARDY'S FIRST BOOK PUBLISHED IN THE US AND THE SECOND EDITION OF THE WORK OVERALL. Hardy's second novel 'Under the Greenwood Tree' was first published by Tinsley in 1872, one of the 'best press-noticed' books sold by that publisher. Under the terms of Tinsley's new agreement with Holt of New York it was then issued by the latter in their popular 'Leisure House' series in June 1873, the first of Hardy's works to be so issued in the US. His first novel 'Desperate Remedies' (1871) did not appear in the series until March 1874. From the series catalogue present on the front endpapers it is clear that this is a later issue (at least 1881 since the list includes 'A Laodician'). Most volumes in the 'Leisure Hour' series were severally reissued with updated endpapers. This copy has been expertly rebacked. The original, elaborately blocked, backstrip is virtually complete with just a few millimetres missing at extreme head and tail. The original endpapers, which carry a detailed catalogue of the 'Leisure Hour' series catalogue printed in red, are all complete and virtually unmarked. The top edge is mildly dust-soiled but this does not extend to the text, which also shows practically no trace of the usual foxing and spotting. A NOTABLE COPY AND A RARE SURVIVAL.

1925ref. 227841925. SS Resolute photo archive approximately 86 photographs dating to 1925 documenting a passenger voyage through the Hawaiian Islands and broader Pacific region during a period of expanding U.S. tourism and colonial presence. The material captures volcanic landscapes urban development agricultural activity and Native Hawaiian individuals providing visual evidence of both environmental features and social life. These images record the intersection of natural geography and emerging tourist infrastructure in Hawaii during the interwar period when the islands were increasingly integrated into trans-Pacific travel networks. Approximately 86 black-and-white and color photographs each measuring about 3.5 x 5 inches mounted on black album leaves with white ink captions identifying locations such as Honolulu Hilo Waimea Bay Kilauea Crater and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The archive includes multiple views of volcanic activity including lava flows associated with eruptions from 1868 1901 and 1924 as well as craters at Halemaumau and Kilauea steam vents and descending lava formations. Coastal landscapes and inland terrain of Oahu and the Big Island are represented alongside urban scenes in Honolulu including hotels streetscapes and institutional buildings such as the Moana Hotel and the Mormon Temple at Laie. Agricultural images show sugarcane cultivation and rural labor environments while market scenes and portraits depict local residents in daily settings. A group of photographs includes Duke Kahanamoku posed with a surfboard marked "DUKE" alongside additional images referencing Pacific locations such as Tutuila and Upolu indicating the voyage extended beyond Hawaii. Produced during the 1920s expansion of Pacific tourism these photographs document how Hawaii and surrounding islands were visually framed for travelers within a colonial and commercial context.

1930ref. 223021930. Japan travel photograph album. 1930s. This album documents Western travel through Japan during a period of expanding imperial influence and managed international tourism recording temple architecture theatrical performance and curated cultural sites alongside limited family portraiture. The photographs provide primary visual evidence of how foreign visitors encountered Japan through established travel circuits that emphasized religious monuments scenic landscapes and staged cultural forms while also including a labeled image from Korea that situates the journey within the geography of Japanese colonial rule. Photo Album containing 22 silver gelatin photographs each mounted one per page with white ink captions identifying locations including "Nikko" "Kyoto" "Shochiku-za" "Koya San" "Akashi" "Takao" and "Korea." Three photographs depict members of a Western family posed in studio and outdoor settings including portraits in front of temple gates and residential entrances. The remaining images focus on architectural and cultural sites including temple facades with detailed ornamentation mountain and waterfall landscapes and a staged theatrical performance at the Shochiku-za theatre in Osaka showing performers in elaborate costume and makeup. One photograph labeled "Korea" depicts seated women wearing hanbok indicating travel beyond the Japanese home islands. The photographs are consistently sized at approximately 5 x 7 inches and mounted in an album measuring approximately 8.5 x 12 inches bound in cloth boards with decorative striping and cord binding. The album was produced during a decade when Japan promoted domestic and imperial sites as destinations for foreign travelers integrating religious landmarks urban infrastructure and colonial territories into a coherent tourist experience. Sites such as Nikko and Koya San were presented as emblematic of national heritage while theatrical venues and scenic locations formed part of structured itineraries. The inclusion of Korea reflects the extension of these travel routes into occupied regions where colonial subjects and landscapes were incorporated into representations of the empire. Photographs remain clear with strong contrast; minor wear to album consistent with handling; overall very good.

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. Photo album containing 96 items including 71 silver gelatin photographs 21 postcards and 4 pieces of printed Mexican ephemera including tickets and menus most photographs approximately 2.5" x 3.5" mounted in an album measuring approximately 8.5" x 11" Mexico 1931 to 1939.

Other scenes record costumed performers vendors working beside public buildings groups traveling by automobile social outings and companions posed at archaeological and scenic destinations. Printed material includes tickets for the 1939 season at "Plaza de Toros El Toreo" a color "Aguas de Lourdes" restaurant menu advertising "Un 'Seltzer' alcalino natural" newspaper clippings and postcards extending the private snapshots through commercially produced views of Mexican landscapes and monuments. An inscription on the front pastedown dated "Xmas 1931" establishes the beginning of the chronology while the El Toreo tickets extend the record through 1939. Tourism became an instrument of economic policy and national image making after the Mexican Revolution translating archaeological sites colonial architecture regional customs food and public spectacle into destinations for domestic and foreign visitors. Government tourism promotion of the period used bullfighting as a recognizable emblem of Mexico including official travel posters issued between 1930 and 1950 while preservation programs increasingly linked historic buildings and urban centers to the visitor economy. Pages and photos exhibit rippling but no apparent staining some minor wear consistent with age; several photographs remain securely mounted while others show lifting or losses. Overall in good condition. A sustained record of how postrevolutionary Mexico presented archaeology spectacle landscape and regional culture as the foundations of a modern tourist nation. unknown
