First edition possible first state including the colour plate & extra-illustrated title & frontispiece which are not present in some printings of this lavishly illustrated catalogue of America’s first exposition inspired and patterned after the 1851 Crystal Palace Great Exhibition in London. Mixed in with the familiar Arts & Crafts material which filled the early expositions including industrially produced glassware metalwork ceramics and more the 1853-54 Exposition served as a vital presentation of American invention and technology including Royal Earl House’s innovative printing telegraph with its piano-style keyboard a Henry Fitz refractor telescope John Whipple’s daguerreotypes shot of the Moon at Harvard College and even a publicity stunt featuring Elias Otis demonstrating his safety elevator by dramatically cutting the rope holding the cage preventing is descent when they deployed. The 1853-54 Exhibition was also vital to the development of iron construction in America including the striking octagonally planned domed structure by Castensen and Gildermeister as well as plans submitted by Paxton Downing & Vaux Bogardus and Hoppin all illustrated here. After the fair closed in November 1854 the New York Crystal Palace sporadically held tradefairs until 1858 when the iron and glass building burned to the ground in less than 30 minutes.

1905rif. 56241Portland: Lewis & Clark Official Photographic Co. F.H. Kiser Goodnough Building c. 1905. One large silver gelatin photograph sized 10.25 x 13.5 in. mounted on gray studio board 17 x 13.75 in. w/ embossed photographer’s stamp in lower right corner of the board in white some scuffing & wear to corners fore-edges couple very minor scuffs to the image still a VG- image w/ bright strong contrast. A very scarce original souvenir intending to promote the Pacific Northwest for the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition marking the anniversary of the famed exploration across the North American continent after the Louisiana Purchase. The Kiser Brothers Fred Kiser 1878-1955 and Oscar Kiser 1883-1905 began shooting photos as a hobby but very quickly became successful commercial photographers and one of the best artistic photographers in the country during the first three decades of the 20th century. They sold their images as prints photo albums stereoviews postcards glass lantern slides and even later hand-coloured many of them and sold them to tourists and collectors as framed or unframed art prints.

1959rif. 60933Portland OR & Seattle WA: Smith 1959. Ten RPPC silver gelatin photographs all w/ description and inventory number w/in negative at lower fore-edge slight age toning very slight edgewear still VG. A nice set of 10 souvenir RPPC’s shot during the 100 day run of the Oregon Centennial Exposition. The 1859-1959 Centennial Exposition lasted from June 10 to Sept. 17 on 65 acres along the Columbia River formerly Vanport wiped away in the tragic 1948 flood and also featured a Gayway Amusement Park Garden of Tomorrow & Adventureland. The Exposition featured everything from Mossman’s Can-Can girl revue to steam locomotives Modernist sculptures and murals by Louis Bunce and other Oregon artists and the striking Hall of Religious History in the Garden of Tomorrow which featured murals of Carl Morris. This re-created town from the 1870’s Old West featured the Golden Nugget dance hall & saloon as well as livery stable church post office and hotel and proved to be the most successful attraction. The Oregon Centennial only attracted about 1.5 million visitors and largely operated at a loss which encouraged the nascent Seattle World’s Fair organizers to strip out their Western theme and focus instead on their later very successful Century 21 futurism theme.

1901rif. 63092Buffalo NY & Chicago IL: Mackson; Lyman 1901. Archive of 46 original albumen photographs sized from 3 x 6 in. up to 4 x 6 in. all of the images smaller than 4 x 5 in. on albumen paper stock many w/ embossed photographer’s stamps several w/ photographer’s imprint w/in negative some w/ small rubber stamp at lower fore-edge of verso as well as pencil manuscript annotations identifying subject inventory nos. w/ in negatives of several a few w/ evidence of having been previously mounted a couple w/very slight dog-eared corners 1 w/ closed tear at lower fore-edge a couple w/ image evidencing poor process chemicals still an exceptional group of images. This set of photographs was created by two different Illinois & Missouri photographers at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo NY -- both of whom had lived and worked in Chicago at the beginning of the 1890’s offering reasonably priced “unofficial” vernacular images of the 1893 Columbian Exposition World’s Fair followed by the Pan-American World’s Fair. The fair featured a range of acts and attractions featured at the Exposition which included Bostock’s Trained Wild Animals “A Trip to the Moon” “Cleopatra’s Temple” Henry Roltair’s illusionist show “House upside down” and the Battle of Missionary Ridge Cyclorama. Many of the Exposition buildings including the prominent Electric Tower were covered in approximately 2 million 100 watt incandescent light bulbs producing an incredible display when turned on each night attracting millions of people who visited. This Exposition marked a defining moment in Buffalo history with the city becoming the focus of international architectural artistic technological and industrial attention at the Fair. It is sadly largely remembered as the scene of the tragic assassination of President McKinley. Vernacular souvenir photos are quite scarce and these have an unusual sharpness in light of the fact that like the 1893 Columbian all were prevented from bringing in tripods to shoot the Exposition. One of the photographs captures African natives from the Midway’s “African Village” which incorporated Africans from the colonial empires of Great Britain Belgium Germany & France along with participants from Georgia who were “staged” in the “Old Plantation” representing the enslavement of African-Americans in North America. Another Black History exhibit included was the “Negro Exhibit” previously exhibited at the 1900 L’Exposition Universelle in Paris depicting the accomplishments of formerly enslaved people and languished at the far back of the Manufacturers and Liberal Arts Building. Samuel Lyman 1854-1939 was an intrepid tinkerer junk dealer and photographer who shot souvenir photos for his customers during the Columbian Exposition in 1893. Two of his sons Joseph Lyman 1887-1953 and Harry Lyman 1883-1940 became successful photographers in Kansas City MO during the Roaring 20’s. Mackson fl. 1885-1910 immigrated from Russia into Chicago in the 1880’s and operated a small photo studio there until about 1900 before relocating to Kansas City and St. Louis MO during the opening decade of the 20th Century operating photography studios in both cities.

First edition of this very scarce installment in Goodyear Tire’s in-house periodical handed out at their Buffalo NY exhibit inside the 1901 Pan-American Exposition. Opening with the admonishment to readers that “All roads lead to the Goodyear Pavilion” the periodical includes tongue-in-cheek comments of “weeping and lamentation over the bad taste of the people in thronging the Midway to the neglect of the Industrial and Art Buildings” as well as mentioning that the “Indian Congress is catching on finely and they chant weird songs to the Great Spirit.” No copies in Worldcat.
