1900réf. 235961900. African American coal mining photo archive depicting Black industrial labor from the turn of the century through the postwar era documenting the changing conditions of mine work while revealing the continuity of Black employment in one of America's most dangerous industries. Spanning approximately fifty years from an early albumen photograph made around the turn of the century to silver gelatin photographs of the 1940s and 1950s the group records successive generations of miners whose labor fueled the nation's railroads steel production and wartime industries. By 1900 more than 180000 African Americans worked in mining and related extractive industries particularly across Appalachia and the industrial Midwest where operators frequently recruited Black labor during strikes while maintaining segregated workforces and company towns. Photo archive of 10 photographs including one large albumen print and nine silver gelatin photographs ranging from approximately 3 x 5 to 9 x 14 inches United States circa 1900s through the 1950s. The photographs show Black miners posed beside coal cars loaded with freshly mined coal; mixed Black and white work crews standing before steam powered mining equipment; African American workers operating within large industrial preparation plants beneath towering conveyors and ore bins; foundry and furnace interiors where molten metal is poured from massive ladles; miners gathered for formal group portraits outside industrial buildings; and workers posing beside hoists rail equipment and mechanical machinery. One of the largest photographs records a substantial interracial work crew surrounding a coal car marked with capacity information while another documents a line of African American workers walking through a commercial district following their shift preserving the contrast between industrial labor and urban life. Later photographs depict Black workers operating heavy electrical or mechanical equipment and standing inside modernized industrial facilities illustrating the technological transformation of mining and processing across the first half of the twentieth century. Coal mining became one of the largest employers of African American industrial labor following Reconstruction as southern and Appalachian operators recruited Black workers into mines expanding to meet the demands of railroads steel mills and urban growth. During both World Wars Black miners became indispensable to national coal production even while remaining concentrated in the most dangerous occupations and frequently excluded from skilled positions promotion and union representation until the growing influence of the United Mine Workers and the broader civil rights movement began to erode formal segregation after the Second World War. The chronological span of this archive distinguishes it from single period mining groups by tracing the persistence of Black industrial labor from the era of mule drawn coal cars and steam powered extraction to mechanized postwar production. Light surface wear scattered creasing and occasional edge chipping; the large albumen print shows moderate age toning. Overall in very good condition. A concentrated visual record of African American labor sustaining the American coal industry across five decades of industrial and social change. unknown books

She presented three bodies of work at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900: a collection of photographs by American women, a series of photographs of students in the Washington, D.C., school system, and a series of photographs of students from the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. These exhibits all promoted the nationalistic agenda of progress at the Paris Exposition, illustrating American advancement in art, education, and society." ; "Johnston was a significant-and arresting-figure in early twentieth-century photography.Johnston produced a good deal of the usual society portraiture of the time-including a nude photograph of a debutante that prompted the girl's outraged father to file a lawsuit-but she was also an important photodocumentarian. Students of African American history can reexamine life at Hampton Institute (now Hampton University) or Tuskegee using hundreds of photographs made by Johnston at the turn of the last century.through Johnston's work we can see Admiral Dewey on the deck of the USS Olympia, the Roosevelt children playing with their pet pony at the White House, and the gardens of Edith Wharton's famous villa near Paris. Johnston's major project on early vernacular architecture of the American South preserves scores of buildings that no longer exist except on her film." ; photos of the famous include Thordore ROosevelt, Susan B Anthony, Mark Twain, William McKinley, Joel Chandler Harris, Admiral Dewey, Booker T. Washington, Jacob Riis, Alexander Graham Bell, Jane E Clark, Andrew Carnegie, George Washington Carver, John Phillip Sousa, Helen Hay, John Milton Hay, General LEonard Ward, Julia Marlowe, Richard Hovey, Margaret James, Phoebe Apperson Hearst, Albert Beveridge, Edith Wharton, DIfford Pinchot, Jane Cowl, and Ryan Tillman

réf. RGW22847With 4 Share certificates for the Llynvi Coal & Iron Company Ltd dated 1871 to Mary Cavan creased on one corner 1885 correspondence and endorsements about the debentures. The principal sums were repaid in 1885. In 1884 it would appear the debentures were worth £41860. The works were started in 1798. This particular company was formed in 1872. It would appear Mary Cavan held nearly one third of the shares in The Llynvi Coal and Iron Company in 1871. Her husband Colonel Cavan had died in 1870. The Cavan family had a long history of investing in the South Wales iron industry. James Cavan had invested in the Llynvi Iron Works in 1845 and before that in the Cambrian Iron and Spelter Company.In 1886 the companyÕs ironworks at Maesteg ceased to work. Possibly the paying back of the debentures was a contributing factor to the closure. unknown
