1954réf. List516California and Oregon 1954. Oblong 8vo dyed calf album measuring 11 x 7 inches. Contains 218 photographs most measuring 3 x 5 with some smaller. Very Good. A charming album depicting the canine-centric adventures of a couple as they fish hike and camp their way through some of the great Western parks nearly always with a German Shepherd in tow. Several iconic landmarks are on display - El Capitan the Columbia River giant redwoods and more. The photographer had a keen eye for landscapes and the overall quality of the images and the omnipresent dogs present an infectious appreciation of nature and the outdoors. The size of the fish on display and the beauty of the surroundings show the bounty of the Western parks in the early days of automobile-era tourism. Mixed in with the shots of the outdoors is a curious series of a German shepherd in various poses at a table and several pictures of the couple at home. Presumably several dogs are shown all German Shepherds as the album spans several decades. Contents are beautifully preserved album torn at seams at the exterior and spine perished good to very good condition overall. unknown

The introduction to the combined work compiled under the direction of Malcolm Fraser the WA Surveyor General has this to say: 'In compliance with your instructions and so far as the information and means at my command allowed I have collected in a general way such information about our timber Forests as was available to me and I have endeavoured to weave this together somewhat in a connected form. By including the valuable Report on the Forest Resources of Western Australia by Baron Ferd. von Mueller it will be brought more prominently before the public than it has hitherto been. the drawings give a very fair idea of the character of the Jarrah and Karri forests'.

Young Buddhists in California in 1954 Photographed by the Former Official Photographer of the Topaz Internment Camp An appealing panoramic photograph featuring the attendees of the 1955 conference of the Western Young Buddhist League. The photograph captures a few hundred finely-dressed Japanese-American men and women posed in a courtyard in Oakland California. Various delegates to the conference hold handwritten signs indicating their home cities and regional organizations which include Marysville Palo Alto San Mateo San Francisco Fresno Oakland Sacramento Delta Pasadena and numerous other smaller California cities and locales. There are also banners for attendees from the Stockton Chapter of the Y.B.A. the Coast District of the Young Buddhist Association and the Central California Young Buddhist Association. The elders of the organization sit in chairs in front of the young Bussei. Interestingly this photograph was taken by Oakland photographer Kinji Utsumi a photographer in the Bay Area both before and after World War II. Utsumi bought his photo studio in 1941 but was forced to close at the outset of the Japanese-American internment period. He then became one of the official photographers at the Topaz internment camp in Utah; he is mentioned in the RAMBLINGS yearbooks for Topaz High School during the internment period. After the war Utsumi returned to Franklin Street in Oakland and opened another photographic studio.

1900réf. 64553Ashland OR: F.L. Camps ca. 1900. One large silver gelatin birds-eye quadriptych panoramic photograph stretching 37.75 x 7.75 in. mounted on studio board 42 x 12 in. divided by the photographer into four panels w/ 2 outer panels sized 11.75 x 12 in. and 2 central panels sized 9.25 x 12 in. w/ photographer’s embossed imprint w/in the image at lower right corner on panel 4 originally intended to be clasped w/ 8 brass rings at each joint but later framed w/ remnants of black & brown backing paper on versos still a VG exemplar. This exceptional original and unknown large panoramic photo depicts Ashland Oregon at the end of the 19th-Century. Included are glimpses of historic structures and their advertising as the Hotel Oregon later renamed the Ashland Hotel which was a Queen Anne style building completed in 1889 featuring long porches and an elegant restaurant which was managed by noted Chinese-American chef “Chinese Jim” who cooked for Jack London William Jennings Bryan and Joaquin Miller as they stayed in the hotel and passed through town. Although the board sidewalk appears in the photo there are no evidence of the palm trees which were also planted later. Another structure glimpsed nearby is the fascinating beehive Chautauqua structure completed in just 10 days in 1893 and could seat 1000 attendees. Although the original structure no longer exists the Oregon Shakespeare Festival first organized in 1935 still takes place at the old Ashland Chautauqua site. The significant large “Furniture Store” is visible with awnings on Main Street along with nearby livery stables businesses homes as well as the train station and railroad rolling stock structures in the distance with one long train of railcars visible. Although undated and without caption the photograph style bears resemblance to the large panoramic photo by Lars Henrichsen shot and later marketed in several panels in 1903 and visual evidence indicates a Winter time shot as nearly all of the deciduous trees bear no foliage. Camps 1870-1935 was a German-American photographer who set up his earliest studio in Olympia WA in 1891 and was noted for ambrotype portraits but before 1900 moved and set up his studio in Ashland OR frequently traveling the countryside to shoot photos by buggy and horseback and later by 1913 in a licensed Ford Model T. After 1914 Camps had ceased operating a photo studio according to street directories and moved onto owning and managing automobile garages in Ashland Klamatha Falls or San Jose as well as Elkhorn CA and remarried. By the last years of his life during the Great Depression he continued to reside only in Klamath Falls OR. No similar examples located in Worldcat or other institutional holdings. F.L.
