1952réf. 237181952. Japanese American art and craft survey published in 1952 documenting the cultural practices sustained within the War Relocation Authority camps during the Second World War. Allen H. Eaton records calligraphy painting embroidery wood carving miniature landscapes flower arrangement garden construction and tea ceremony as practices carried into confinement and adapted to barracks mess halls and the materials available within camp boundaries. Photographs identify artists teachers and makers at Amache Heart Mountain Manzanar Rohwer Poston Tule Lake and other incarceration sites preserving names and objects that official administrative accounts often treated as incidental to camp operations. Eaton Allen H. Beauty Behind Barbed Wire: The Arts of the Japanese in Our War Relocation Camps. New York: Harper & Brothers 1952. Foreword by Eleanor Roosevelt. Illustrated. 8vo. 128 pages. Eaton organizes the volume around the work produced by incarcerated Japanese Americans with photographs and extended captions describing materials makers and camp settings. Subjects include pine bark panels carved at Amache; miniature landscapes developed at Amache; a Rohwer calligrapher whose skill was "deeply respected by his neighbors"; flower arrangement classes and exhibitions at Rohwer; Estelle Ishigo's painting "Winter" depicting snowbound barracks at Heart Mountain; ornamental entrances and planted yards at Poston and Manzanar; and tea ceremony classes at Tule Lake intended to preserve "dignity and poise while meeting difficult problems." The frontispiece reproduces an embroidery made at Heart Mountain by Mrs. Makagawa combining the camp barracks barbed wire and the snow covered mountain beyond. Published a decade after Executive Order 9066 initiated the forced removal and incarceration of more than 120000 people of Japanese ancestry Eaton's book shifted attention from federal policy and camp administration to the objects and environments created by those confined. Its pages record how residents transformed scrap lumber desert plants stones discarded containers and improvised tools into carved panels gardens bonsai furnishings paintings and ceremonial spaces. Eleanor Roosevelt's foreword places these works within a critique of wartime incarceration while Eaton's captions preserve both the language of the period and detailed evidence of artistic instruction exhibition and exchange inside the camps. Jacket heavily worn stained chipped and torn with substantial losses at the spine and upper edges; with text and illustrated pages generally clean and legible. Overall good condition. A detailed postwar record of cultural continuity artistic labor and the remaking of domestic and ceremonial space under Japanese American incarceration. unknown books
1965réf. 221891965. Chinese American Fashion & Beauty Chinese American beauty pageant "Miss China Town USA" held in San Francisco photo archive 1965. Archive of 12 silver gelatin photographs. Each measure 4" x 6" and comes in the original developer's envelope "Schaefer's Camera Shop -- 137 Kearny Street." This striking archive captures a rare and vibrant moment in Chinese American cultural expression during the post Chinese Exclusion Act era with all images centered on young Chinese American women participating in a public pageant event-likely held in Chinatown or Union Square as suggested by background buildings and signage such as the visible Alitalia storefront. Participants wear qipao dresses and Western coats adorned with pageant sashes identifying their affiliations. Their elaborate bouffant hairstyles upright posture and elegant bearing assert a hybridized ideal of beauty that both incorporates and subtly defies dominant mid-century Western standards-privileging Chinese dress language and poise at a time when Asian Americans were largely excluded from national representations of glamour. The women are shown seated before crowds posing for press photos and participating in ceremonial or interview portions of the event. The audience includes a racially diverse set of onlookers who line the streets and engage with the proceedings suggesting both the public scale of the event and its significance beyond the Chinese American community alone. Several city officials and professional photographers also appear emphasizing the civic prominence of the occasion. While one photo is duplicated the remaining eleven are unique. These images offer a vivid glimpse into the aesthetics aspirations and public pride of Chinese American womanhood at a time when race and representation were under increasing renegotiation. Light edge wear overall very good condition. A rare visual record of Chinese American pageantry and public assertion of cultural identity in defiance of mainstream erasure during the civil rights era. unknown books
1971réf. 208851971. Photo archive of African American fashion models and a regional beauty pageant winner 1960s-1970s documents Black women's participation in commercial modeling and organized pageantry during a period of changing representation in American media. The images center on professional studio photography and promotional portraiture recording how Black women were presented within fashion and beauty industries that had long limited their inclusion. The archive includes a press photograph of Fern Tresvan crowned Miss Black Colorado and advanced to national competition at Madison Square Garden alongside a sustained series of modeling images of Carol King a Los Angeles based model whose career intersected with music and entertainment industries. Seven black and white silver gelatin photographs most measuring approximately 8 x 10 inches with one elongated print measuring about 5 x 10 inches. Six studio photographs depict Carol King across multiple shoots in Los Angeles attributed to Models International and Greg Mendes studios showing variations in hairstyle dress and pose over roughly a decade. Early images show King in a poolside setting with short hair while later photographs present her in a range of late 1960s and early 1970s fashions including a belted one piece swimsuit with heels a sleeveless dress posed against a leopard patterned textile a mini dress and a long sleeve floral gown. The remaining photograph is a 1971 press image of Tresvan documenting her title as Miss Black Colorado and participation in national pageant competition. Produced during the decades surrounding the Civil Rights Movement the archive situates Black women within expanding but still contested spaces of visual culture fashion and public recognition. The combination of studio modeling and pageant imagery reflects parallel avenues through which African American women gained visibility in print media and public events supporting research into race gender and representation in mid twentieth century American culture. Minor edge wear; prints remain clean and well preserved; overall very good condition. unknown books

Later images include studio and event photographs of regional titleholders such as Beryl Roberts and Sonya Robinson as well as a crowning ceremony involving Kimberly Arlette Pierce and her successor. Produced during decades shaped by the Civil Rights Movement and its cultural aftermath the archive situates Black beauty pageants within broader efforts to redefine standards of beauty and expand access to public platforms for African American women.
