1930réf. 158866New York: Vandamm Studio 1930. Vintage portrait photograph of actor Otto Kruger by the photography team of Florence and Tommy Vandamm Vandamm Studio circa 1930. Photograph with a blind "Vandamm / New York" stamp on the bottom left of the recto and a "Vandamm Studio" stamp on the verso and a label on the verso announcing Kruger in the leading role of the Broadway play "The Boundary Line" by playwright Dana Burnet which premiered at the 48th Street Theatre on February 5 1930 and ran for 37 performances closing in March 1930. The photograph was likely commissioned by the Theatre Guild which contracted Vandamm Studios to photograph all of their productions beginning in 1928. Kruger began his career as a Broadway matinee idol in the 1920s and 1930s before establishing a niche in feature films as the charming villain such as in Alfred Hitchcock's 1942 film "Saboteur" Joseph M. Newman's "711 Ocean Drive" and Douglas Sirk's 1954 film "Magnificent Obsession." Kruger starred in over 80 films between 1915 and 1964 as well as multiple television appearances in the 1950s and 1960s. The husband and wife photography team of Florence and Tommy Vandamm married in 1918 emigrated from London to New York in the 1920s due to declining business in their portrait studio following World War I. By 1928 Vandamm Studio began to dominate the field in New York after being contracted by the Theatre Guild to photograph all of their productions. Florence took responsibility for most of the portrait work while Tommy documented the stage work. The studio was closed by Florence in 1961. Vandamm Studio's work was known for their carefully planned lighting and composition and their attention to detail. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good with two vertical folds and three horizontal folds cropping the face. Vandamm Studio unknown books

1890réf. 54541Constantinople: Sebah & Joaillier 1890. First edition. Hardcover. vg- to vg. Oblong small folio. 12 1/4 x 14 1/4". Red pebbled cloth boards with decorative gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the covers. Rebacked maroon leather spine. Gilt-stamped crescent moon and star motif the national emblem of Turkey on the back cover. Taken from the Galata Tower in what is now the Karaköy neighborhood of Istanbul this magnificent panorama displays the skyline and cityscape of Constantinople as it appeared sometime in the late 1880s or early 1890s. The panorama is comprised of 10 original albumen photographs mounted on heavy card stock and bound together in accordion style leporello measuring a total of more then 11 feet when completely unfolded. Shot in a southwardly direction the viewer can see Galata Karaköy in the foreground and from left to right across the Bosporus to the Uskudar district on the Asian side and then across the harbor at the mouth of the Golden Horn the Galata Bridge and across to the Pérama neighborhood and the Faith district where many famous landmarks of the city can be seen including the New Mosque Topkapi Palace Hagia Sophia and many others. Each panel measures about 13" wide and 12" tall. The photography is credited to "Sebah & Joaillier" one of the most prominent and prolific photography studios of Ottoman Empire during the second half of 19th century. Originally founded sometime around 1857 in Instanbul by Syrian-Armenian photographer Pascal Sebah 1823-1886 the studio was one of the earliest in the city and all of Ottoman Turkey. By the 1870s Sebah had become among the most prominent Ottoman photographers having also opened a branch of the studio in Cairo. Upon Sebah's death in 1888 the firm was taken over by his 16 year-old son Jean Pascal Sebah who then partnered with photographer Policarpe Joaillier 1848-1904. The firm was renamed "Sebah & Joaillier". Therefore although this panorama is undated it could not have been issued earlier than 1888; most likely sometime shortly thereafter circa 1890. Spine of of the portfolio has been professionally re-backed. Plates with minor to light foxing although the images are still quite clean and vibrant. Binding in very good images in very good- to very good condition overall. A slightly later version of the panorama from Sebah & Joaillier simply titled "Constantinople" is comprised of 12 slightly smaller panels instead of 10 and measures around the same size in total.

1896réf. 20057Herisau Switzerland: Edwin Jucker 1896. Matted. A kooky Gay Nineties band of cross-dressers a la Suisse! Four of the eight member band are in comical drag in this large sepia-toned photograph taken place during Carnival when outrageous costumes partying and carousing are as much a tradition in the Teutonic world as they are in the Latin countries. The photo itself as visible in the window surrounded by matting is 17 by 22 cm. The photo is taped to the back of the matting and when we look behind the photo is on a thick card measuring about 18 by 23.5 cm. We haven't examined the photo removed from the matting but we would assume that there is a narrow margin and virtually all of the photo is visible. The matting included the dimensions are 27.5 by 35 cm. The band seems to be a more or less typical Tyrolean ensemble with a violin a double bass a trumpet a flute a clarinet we assume -- part of the instrument is hidden so we aren't 100 percent certain a bass drum and a trombone. The center figure in the photo is a man dressed like Uncle Sam with a top hat a long goatee etc. We think this was probably intentional -- the consciousness of America and American culture has become a thing in a Europe with the explosive growth of the American economy and the lure of emigration beckoning to so many at the time. Three of the cross-dressers are zaftig and they are dressed in fittingly matronly attire while the fourth mostly hidden behind his drum seems as if he might be a little more svelte and his attire looks more like that of a suffragette say. The men dressed as men are also in comical costume as well at least three of them. The thinner man holding a trumpet is in clothes that might be Tyrolean or might be from an earlier decade -- we can't tell from the photo that blurs his suit into just a dark undifferentiated shape. We also think it is possible but unlikely that one or more of the band members dressed as men might be a cross-dressing woman but we have no confidence that this is the case and it is probably unknowable. A close look at the faces of the band members suggests to us also that a few of them are closely related and probably siblings. Again probably unknowable for all intents and purposes. The backdrop of the photo is a paneled wall with four travel posters of Swiss resorts -- Rigi Lake Maggiore Ragaz-Wartenstein. We would think this was a photo studio backdrop. Again just a guess. Written on the photo is "Wartsaal III - Classe". This suggests that the band was participating in a contest. Herisau is in the Appenzell Canton of Switzerland or the Northeast of the country close to St. Gallen. The photo is foxed not terribly. The matting is also foxed and stained otherwise with three chips two of which are at corners. Although the matting might seem a candidate for replacement though we wouldn't since it is clearly original to the photo with its black impressed caption above and issued with the photo itself as a souvenir of the band and the event.

1910réf. BK0065Philadelphia: Murdock Studios 1910. Real photo postcard portrait 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches. Studio stamp verso reading "Murdock Studio / 4047 Market St. / Philadelphia Pa. / Extra Copies of this Photo can be had at any time. Excellent contrast light wear Near Fine. A particularly attractive studio portrait of an unidentified African American man dressed in a three-piece suit and tie and seated next to a small table with flowers. The photographer Murdock Studio has proven difficult to trace though the address on the verso places the studio at 4047 Market Street near 40th Street in West Philadelphia. The location is interesting in relation to the development of the Black Bottom the predominantly African American neighborhood which extended roughly from 33rd to 40th Streets around the Market Street corridor. The neighborhood grew during the first half of the twentieth century before being largely destroyed during urban renewal in the 1960s. We have not been able to determine whether Murdock Studio was Black-owned or to identify the sitter. A strong example of African American studio portraiture from West Philadelphia during the period.

2007réf. 438030Phoenixville Pennsylvania: Windrose Studio Publications 2007. Unbound. Fine. Small collection of letters and one form including two Autograph Letters Signed one Printed Letter Signed with a "letter from the editors" on the verso one subscription form and one circular advertising Bruckner's new work The Cards of Fra Giovanni. 8½" x 11" or smaller. Fine. A small collection of letters and forms from Pennsylvania artist Peter Bruckner Windrose Studio related to "Community-Supported Art" CSA and anthroposophy. The letters addressed to a 2007 subscriber both thank her for her support and give information on upcoming projects. Included is a printed letter from three of Bruckner's editors extolling his virtue as a storyteller "that has arisen out of the fountainhead of anthroposophy in his soul." It also mentions that Bruckner is currently writing a book on the subject THE ZODIAC PATH: A Contribution to the Ongoing Work with Rudolph Steiner's Waldorf Curriculum. "Community Supported Art" apparently a play on the term "Community Supported Agriculture" finances the creation of art by attracting subscribers who don't mind paying for their art ahead of time. In this case $150 will get you 10 titles over the course of a year or as many as you'd like to purchase individually at $15 apiece. According to Bruckner ".this is not about buying and selling but rather about creating the needed support for this material to become available in print." An unusual sales pitch with a strong spiritual bent. Windrose Studio Publications unknown books
