1944ref. 211521944. Japanese American incarceration photographs dating from World War II document civilian life and military presence at several internment and assembly centers established after the forced removal of Japanese Americans from the West Coast. Following Executive Order 9066 in 1942 more than 120000 people of Japanese ancestry were confined in temporary assembly centers and longer term relocation camps administered by the War Relocation Authority. The photographs record daily activities of men women and children within these camps and illustrate the physical environment of the barracks settlements created to house incarcerated civilians during the war. Archive contains six original silver gelatin photographs measuring approximately 2.5 × 2.75 inches to 3.5 × 5.75 inches. The images depict Japanese American families and individuals at Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming Camp Amache in Granada Colorado and Pomona Assembly Center in California. Several photographs show families gathered in front of barracks style housing units typical of the camps. One image from Amache shows a family of six standing on the steps of their assigned unit with the wooden barracks structure visible behind them. Another photograph from Pomona shows two United States soldiers seated on a storage trunk outside a camp building likely serving as patrol or security personnel. One image from Heart Mountain shows a military medic standing beside an ambulance truck while gesturing toward camp structures in the distance. Other photographs include a group portrait of Japanese American young men standing in front of a brick building possibly a school building within the camp and a separate image of the same individual standing beside a lake. Another photograph shows a young Japanese American girl playing on a see saw while families watch a sports game in the background with camp buildings visible beyond the field. Pomona Assembly Center served as one of the temporary detention facilities established in 1942 before incarcerated families were transferred to permanent camps such as Heart Mountain. Heart Mountain became the fourth largest relocation center eventually housing nearly fourteen thousand people while Amache in Colorado confined more than seven thousand internees the majority of whom were American citizens by birth. Living quarters in these camps consisted of small rooms within hastily constructed wooden barracks assigned to individual families. The photographs preserve small moments of social life and recreation within these confined communities illustrating how families attempted to maintain routines despite the conditions of incarceration. Photographs remain clear and well preserved with light age wear consistent with vernacular prints. Very good condition overall and a revealing visual record of Japanese American life within wartime relocation centers. unknown
1932ref. 205181932. African American Religion Silver gelatin photograph of twenty-two African American congregates at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. 1932. Approx. 4.5" x 6.5". Photograph shows twenty-two congregates of varying ages twenty-one adults and one child dressed in "Sunday best" sitting and standing in two rows in front of a church sanctuary. Caption written on photograph reads "Ward #1 Mt. Zion Baptist Church 1932". Baptist Protestantism has been the predominant religion among African Americans from the Civil War until today however the Great Depression marked a particularly difficult time period for Baptist churches across the United States. In 1932 Protestant church attendance was at an all time low in part due to the church's inability to dispense charity to the needy and due to a general loss of faith in the face of financial hardship. African American Baptist Mt. Zion congregations are also known for their roles in the Civil Rights Movement. The churchgoers pictured were among a select few who remained steadfast practitioners of Baptist Protestantism during a difficult time in U.S. history. Very good condition. unknown

1871ref. 49789Philadelphia: Altemus & Co 1871. Very Good-. Philadelphia: Altemus & Co. ca. 1871. Thick quarto photo album 25cm; full custom embossed brown goat with steel and faux pearl decorative elements owner's name Smith M. Weed to upper cover in gilt steel clasps one missing all edges gilt; title page printed in gilt followed by 25ll. stiff card stock to which are mounted a hundred and ninety-eight 198 cartes de visite some captioned in ink many signed by the subject and others still identified as "dead" in pencil. Leather rubbed and worn at corners with loss at spine head all but two of the photographic windows filled; overall About Very Good images all in bright and near fine condition. Photo album of the New York lawyer and politician Smith M. Weed 1833-1920 who served on the New York State Assembly from 1865 to 1867 in 1871 and from 1873 to 1874. This album probably dates from 1871 one of the years Smith served on the Assembly that coincided with John T. Hoffman the first man pictured here serving as governor of New York. It is perhaps significant that Weed does not identify Hoffman by name but simply lists him as the Governor of New York--Hoffman was implicated as being part of the Tammany Hall Tweed Ring against which Weed was an outspoken critic. His report in favor of repealing the Erie Classification Act came within a vote of breaking up the Tweed and Erie Rings for which he was "regarded as an enemy of the then party-controlling influence. He was brutally assaulted by the notorious James Irving then a power with the 'Ring'" Life Sketches of Government Officers of Members of the Legislature of the State of New York 1873. Perhaps needless to say but still disappointing that Irving's signed CDV is not among those present here. As well as members of the Legislature there are also CDVs of men in its orbit including the Canal Commissioner two prison inspectors the governor's private secretary the head doorkeeper and the assistant doorkeeper and three reporters for the New York Sun the Associate Press and the Argus. An interesting photographic record of New York state politics in the era of the Tweed Ring. Altemus & Co unknown
