1914ref. 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

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. ».

1906ref. 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.
