1907réf. 60780Norfolk VA: Jamestown Exposition Co. 1907. 12mo. 5.5 x 7 in. 2 16 2 pp. With illustrations 2 large folding colour maps Population near Hampton Roads VA 12 hours & 24 hours; Historical Tidewater Virginia. Illustrated brick-red softcovers cover art of Powhatan Indian w/ view of Jamestown in background minor dustsoiling edgewear still a VG bright copy. First edition of this uncommon prospectus intended to attract visitors and exhibitors to the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition intended to follow after the great successes of the 1893 Columbian Exposition 1901 Pan-American and the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. Unfortunately the organizers were less than competent and by opening day only one-third of the fair’s grounds and buildings were complete Norfolk VA had very limited accommodations and poor transportation connections and there was an emphasis on Naval & military achievements including a re-enactment of the Battle of Hampton Roads between the CSS Virginia and the USS Monitor. The Powhatan Tribe settlement was shoved off to the Midway where it was overshadowed by the 101 Ranch Wild West Show so it was much less visited by the 3 million tourists. However the African-American Exhibition proved quite popular and the Negro Development and Exposition Co. estimated they drew 3000-12000 spectators per day. Jamestown Exposition Co., paperback

With 25 silver gelatin photos on Velvet Velox Kodak paper mounted w/ silver corners sized 3.25 x 5 in. 1st leaf w/ reverse duplicate on verso.

Rodney Eckerson 1930-2024 former purchasing agent for the Port of Portland. This souvenir photo album features 25 original photographs documenting two couple’s 1905 visit to the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition which marked the anniversary of the famed exploration across the North American continent after the Louisiana Purchase. The album opens with two photographs of the Forestry Building composed entirely of giant Douglas Fir logs; while the following photos capture the giant lagoon constructed from Guild’s Lake the Foreign Exhibits Building Agriculture and Horticulture Palace the U.S. Government Building at the end of the Bridge of Nations and Frederic Remington’s sculpture “Coming through the Rye” later renamed “Off the Trail” of four wild cowboys coming into town. Of special interest is one woman standing at the base of one of the several Native Alaskan totem poles on the shore of Guild’s Lake during the Exposition and later moved to Sitka National Historical Park in Sitka Alaska. Vernacular photo albums composed by amateur photographers during the run of the Exposition are quite uncommon and most fairgoers relied on Robert Reid Shogren and the Kiser Bros. for their souvenir images. n.p., hardcover
1905réf. 62003Portland OR: Albert Hess & Co. Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition 1905. One souvenir postcard. 11.25 x 3.25 in. With birds-eye view by Caughey on recto advertisement for Willson in lower right corner center crease fold as issued; postcard information and cancelled stamp & postmark for Portland addressed to W.H. Bilyen 90 1/2 - 5th St. City Portland Oregon minor dustsoiling slight toning very minor wear at fold crease still VG copy. First edition of this uncommon folding souvenir postcard celebrating the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition featuring and reproducing the famed Caughey birds-eye. The birds-eye depicts the Guild’s Lake area of the grounds up and operating now bounded by Reed to Thurston Streets and 31st to 24th Streets in NW Portland. Prof. Willson fl. 1904-1920 began as a dance instructor with the Academy of Dancing located in the Hirsch Building but within a few years of the Exposition set up his own dance studio and was noted instructor of Waltzes. This card advertises the fact that couples could dance for .50¢ while an “Extra Lady” for .25¢ and even better for men in the very hot and humid Portland Pavilion they could dance without their coats in Shirt Waists. Caughey 1851-1925 was an Ohio Civil War veteran an itinerant chalk plate artist and had just created the year before in Feb. 1904 a Birds-Eye view reproduced over two pages in the Lewis and Clark Journal with noted birds-eye artist and cartographer Fred Routledge 1871-1936. Caughey began producing birds eye views in and around Portsmouth NH in the 1880’s and eventually became a commercial artist and newspaper editor in Portland Oregon where he would often produce images for the Mutual Label & Lithographic Co.

These stereoviews illustrate the Sunken Gardens the U.S. Government Building the Agricultural and Foreign Palaces interiors and the iconic Forestry Building. Benjamin Kilburn 1827-1909. and his brother Edward b. 1830 initially operated their business together until Edward retired in the 1870’s and by 1872 they had a large photographic stereoview card factory one block from the Littleton trains station. Young salesmen carried the stereoviews on the trains and by the early 20th-Century the company was the most extensive producer of stereoview photographs purchasing images from such photographers as William H. Rau the Kiser Bros. and others. Wasson fl. 1899-1939 originally founded the International Stereograph Co. in 1899 in Decator IL and produced a wide range of images often in the West maintaining studios in Idaho Arizona and Oregon as well.

1905réf. 57693Portland OR: Fred A. Shogren 1905. One silver gelatin photograph sized 8 x 9.8 in. on thick photo paper stock and appears to be direct copyprint from glass plate negative 1 small tear lower right corner dustsoiling still VG sharp image. An original photograph of the famed Forestry Building which at one time was the largest log cabin in the World featuring one million board feet of old growth timber and renowned for the collonade of 52 uniform massive matching old growth trees with 6 foot trunks.

1819réf. 52180Portland OR: n.p. July 18 1902. One panoramic silver gelatin photograph printed on matte finish thick photographic stock sized 8 x 24 in. preserved in the original dark stained wood frame sized 10.25 x 26.5 in. with very faint title inscription in white ink below image in clear cursive hand very minor damage & loss to the very lower right corner of image still VG copy expertly cleaned with new archival backing. This exceedingly scarce original photograph records the site selection inspection by the Lewis & Clark Exposition Board of Directors July 18 1902 the day after the Site Subcommittee had recommended on July 17 1902 that the Board choose City Park for the Exposition site. In fact many different sites were proposed at the meeting including Henry Corbett’s preference for City park while the Ladd interests advocated for a site along Hawthorne Boulevard. Nonetheless the Board adjourned into executive session and as a result of a last minute proposal by Henry Dosch it decided that they would examine the Guild’s Lake site in detail as evidenced by this photograph showing the several board members standing upon the Electric Railway line tracks on the Willamette Heights next to the land proposed for development by the Scottish-American Investment Company. When the Board reconvened after an August hiatus the vote was 6-2 in favor of Guild’s Lake. Robert Livingstone who owned the Scottish-American Investment Company set about with his real estate development partners Russell & Blyth to build a group of Arts & Crafts homes designed by Emil Schacht in the Willamette Heights subdivision which would inspire Portland residential architecture in the decades following the Exposition. Peter Guild 1797-1870 led his family over the Oregon Trail in 1847 lost a herd of cattle to the Oregon Territorial militia during the Cayuse Indian War and eventually homesteaded on Guild’s Lake constructing a large octagon block house which proved to be a very popular Public House and later the site for the 1905 Lewis & Clark Exposition.
