First editions stated of these uncommon guidebooks to the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition together with the well-used map and manuscript notes of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s “Lost Properties” department head who attended the Fair 17 times through the year. These offer an intimate historical portrait of the frequency and popularity of visits by many fairgoer’s during the run of the PPIE. The neat manuscript notes list all the band performances he managed to catch through the year of festivities including John Philip Sousa conducting his popular marching band; the Philippine Constabulary Band which had originally played in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair and whose performances at the PPIE proved very popular including 1 conducted by Sousa; and the Marimba Band “of Honduras” which was actually the Hurtado Brothers Royal Marimba Band the official Guatemalan Representatives at the PPIE who performed standing room only and wildly popular packed concerts; as well as the U.S. Marine Corps Band Arizona 1st Infantry Band St. Vincent’s Orphan Asylum Band Oakland School Band and more. He was also actively interested in the aerial shows performed at the PPIE featuring flights by pioneering aviators four of whom would not see 1917 as Silas Christofferson 1890-1916 perhaps best remembered for his dramatic leap off of the roof of the Multnomah Hotel in downtown Portland; Lincoln Beachey 1887-1915 who drowned while performing loop aerial maneuvers in a test Beachey-Eaton Monoplane crashing into San Francisco Bay in front of the PPIE crowd; Art Smith 1890-1926 who replaced Beachey and pioneered sensational aerial displays with fireworks and magnesium flares over the night skies; Charles Niles 1868-1916 who performed with Petrossi only to die a year later in OshKosh WI; and finally the Paraguayan daredevil Silvio Petrossi 1887-1916 noted for his illuminated night flights as well and even survived a crash in San Francisco Bay only to die in 1916. Rodgers also attended the PPIE during Contra Costa Day March 3 Tuolumne Day April 14 an Oakland School concert in Festival Hall April 16 Japan Day August 31 Liberty Bell Day July 7 and even Illinois Day - held July 24 1915 in honor of the Chicago Limited SS Eastland disaster after the ship rolled over at the pier killing 844 passengers & crew.

The views included here include the Agricultural Building; Board of Finance Buildings; Machinery Hall interior with the Corliss Engine operating ni the distance; Horticultural Hall along with the Main Entrance and the Exposition grounds. One of the most interesting of the series shows the vast Main Building pavilion under construction with drainage pipes strewn around in the fore-ground while the immense trusses and structural elements slowly march towards the viewer. Most of these images were originally shot by the Centennial Photographic Co. who had proved to be quite successful during the Centennial and the photographers were in great demand through and after the Exhibition which featured over 10 million visitors. Released in a slightly reduced format and licensed out to Underwood & Underwood later Keystone and many others these offered visitors a cut-rate viewing experience. Barker 1844-1894 gained renown originally working for one of Ontario Canada’s leading photographers and later became well-known for his majestic photos of Niagara Falls before a Feb. 1870 destroyed his photo studio although the 800 stereoview negatives were preserved. He later began traveling to shoot views around the United States and released Exposition related images. See: Centennial Photographic Co.
