1890ref. 76014V.p.: V.p. 1890-1920. The soft leather-covered album measures 15.5 x 11.5 inches and contains fifty extant pages containing a total of 164 original photographs of varying sizes. The album has had some of its pages removed and there are missing photos from extant pages. There are an additional 23 fine photos either unmounted or on partial pages that have been removed from the album but are present in this offering. Altogether there are 187 photographs in this grouping. Several of the photos are over 9 x 13 inches in size. The photographs whether still in the album or separated from it are in Fine condition. Harriette Hattie Elizabeth Hill Foster Goldnamer 1868-1940 assembled the album and wrote the white ink photo descriptions in a wonderful cursive hand. According to Hughes’ Artists in California Hattie married “… Daniel Foster and moved to Fresno CA in 1886. In 1904 she moved to San Francisco where she studied at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute and privately with Frederick Bauer. A widow by 1910 she had married Wm. Goldnamer. She then settled in Oakland where she remained until her demise on May 2 1940.” As an artist Hattie worked in charcoal and oil and specialized in still life and figure studies. This album is one of three family photographs she put together that we acquired together. Although the family names are the same in all three each stands alone and we are offering them individually. All but nine of the 164 photographs in the album are fine portraits of her family and friends and several of herself. Surnames identified in the album include Hill Foster McNeil Gardner Potter Bryer Gould Pierce Page Oust Le Blanc Ryan McKenzie Holden Oberwetter Russell Hutchens Eldred Dunbar King Brown Scholler Holaday Radley Hutchens and many others. From the identification inscriptions beneath the photos along with photographers’ imprints many of Hattie’s family and friends were from the Illinois-Nebraska area and California. There are a number of oval portraits of identified individuals both male and female dated 1900. The other nine images in the album are large photos of the Hill Dunbar and Oberwetter ranches in Nebraska and Wyoming circa 1895-1900.The photo with the “Louis Fleckenstein / Los Angeles” blind stamp is of Loraine Stebinger who signed the photo’s mount “Most sincerely Loraine Stebinger Dec. 25 1918.” Removed from the album the photograph of the musician shows her playing the piano and measures 7 x 10 inches on a 10 x 13.5 inch cream colored mount. Fleckenstein 1866-1943 was an internationally known pictorialist photographer before moving to Los Angeles in 1907 to open up a portrait studio. He and a colleague had already organized the Salon Club of America to give support to regional camera clubs interested in pictorial photography where the emphasis was on photography as an art form rather than a documentary tool – aesthetics over reality! In 1914 along with Edward Weston and others Fleckenstein helped found the Camera Pictorialists of Los Angeles. In 1924 he relocated to Long Beach where he continued his work in photography. His photos are now in most major museum collections of photography.Another unattributed photo of Stebinger has an ink presentation “To my dearly beloved Friend Harriet Goldnamer from Lorraine Stebinger”. That presentation photo was key to identifying Hattie Goldnamer as the compiler of all three albums acquired at the same time of which this is one. Of interest is the penciled note on the back that attributes it along with several other shots of Stebinger in the same dress to Fleckenstein. However that has not been verified. V.p. hardcover
