1900ref. ALB-291900. Photo album; silver prints 165. Through a myriad of images taken by H. English and A.J. Elton and compiled by F.E. Albrecht an employee at the Taft Montana Office and Commissary of the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul & Pacific Railroad the album chronicles aspects of life in the rugged frontier town of Taft Montana in the heart of the Bitterroot Mountains dubbed by a Chicago Tribune Reporter as "the wickedest city in America." The first images show Taft following its initial fire in August of 1908 with one captioned "Out of 29 buildings 24 are occupied by saloons. This portion of Taft was completely destroyed by fire" and another evocative shot depicting two women in undergarments walking the tracks annotated "Two homeless Taft women after fire." The album captures expansions along the CMSP&PRR commonly referred to as "The Milwaukee Road" including construction views of the momentous St. Paul Pass Tunnel which linked Chicago to Seattle and passed from Taft to Grand Forks Idaho. It is said that an estimated 1000 Montenegrin immigrants were recruited for the job known for their hard-rock drilling skills. These men were led by their "king" Milosh Kolezich who was gunned down by the Tunnel Foreman Holmes "Reddy" Hayes following a dispute in Fall of 1907. Hayes hastily skipped town following the incident but returned in 1908 to resume his post wrongly assuming the Montenegrins had left the work camp. Within moments of his return a gunfight was underway in which six men were killed including Reddy Hayes. One particular photograph shows "Deputy Sherriff Callahan searching Montenegrins after murder of Foreman Hayes. Other views show the work camps in the towns of Taft and Grand Forks; scenes of workmen atop rail cars in the tunnels and "waiting for dinner the bell"; group portraits of identified employees Albrecht included and others such as Dr. L. J. Coria who ran the local hospital; shots showing the many present Saloons; and other aspects of railroad construction including wrecks and rail-laying. By the beginning of the 20th century most frontier towns that had managed to survive the end of westward expansion were becoming gentrified settling down with an influx of families and the less adventurous or desperate but not Taft. Founded as an anonymous camp in 1907 Taft was home to railroad workers attempting to extend the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul and Pacific Railroads through the Bitterroot Mountains. John Shontz a researcher with the Milwaukee Road Historical Association said that Taft "truly was the last boom town in the American west. There were only three houses and no schools. There were bars and saloons and pool halls and prostitutes." The second biggest profession in town was prostitute and there were between 20 and 50 saloons for a population of less than 7000. The town's concentration of criminals was so high that the coming of spring and the thawing of the snow inevitably led to the discovery of dead bodies. In Taft's final spring records indicate as many as seventeen corpses were found. Legend has it that the town's name came about following a visit from then-Secretary of War and future President who described the camp as a "sewer of sin" and "a sore on the otherwise beautiful national forest." The town was named after Taft either in mocking jest or as a token of the workers' umbrage depending on which sources you consult. Ultimately like Sodom and Gomorrah the town's end was cataclysmic. There were two fires between 1907 and 1910 the latter of which devastated the town past the point of return. The last remaining buildings in Taft were flattened for the construction of the interstate in 1962 and today nothing remains of the wickedest city in America save for an exit off of I-90. 3 1/2 x 5 to 8 x 10 inches ; Each page with detailed notations recto. unknown

Westerman wanting to enlighten the public as to the beauty of these birds appointed the great German artist and illustrator Heinrich Leutemann 1824-1905 who created fifteen of the plates.

Keulemans 1842-1912. Only 170 copies were printed of this stunning work of which ours is number 26. Brill & Porter unknown

Berlin, Selbstverlag 2008, S. 42, ?Die Belastung in psychischer und physischer Hinsicht führten dazu, dass sie sich während der zweiten Italien-Reise nie so frei und glücklich fühlte, wie sie es sich in ihren Vorstellungen gewünscht hätte: Kraft und neuen Mut zu gewinnen zu weiteren größeren Aufgaben im künstlerischen Schaffen war ihr Ziel. Aber Marie Ellenrieder kehrte 1840 in die Heimat zurück, ohne den ersehnten Auftrieb und die Stärkung ihrer Kräfte erhalten zu haben. Dabei war der zweite Aufenthalt von Marie Ellenrieder in Rom von Ehrungen begleitet. Bedeutende Persönlichkeiten besuchten ihr Atelier, wie der König Ludwig von Bayern. Sie wurde am 16.4.1840 in die Congregation dei Virtuosi al Panteon aufgenommen und wird am 6.2.1841 als korrespondierendes Mitglied aufgeführt.

1889ref. 005255Claremont 1889. Wooden box. Very Good. N.d. circa late 19th century. 52 separate sheets housed within a handsome wooden carrying case or box. Fifty of these sheets contains a dried and flattened plant sample -- flowers leaves and stems -- with the plant or flower identified in a neat handwriting and most unusual accompanied by a pen and ink vignette. The vignettes are a mix -- some replicate the plant or leaf and thus might be regarded as modestly scientific in purpose; others are of objects or animals which a pleasant to look at or have an appealing association to the artist -- tennis racquets a sailing boat an owl and the like; yet a third group and these are to us the most special are pure whimsy with a touch of humor. This third category also doesn't relate to the plants or flowers. Perhaps one thing that ties all the extra artistic fillips together is that they have an outdoorsy sporty or summer day quality about them. It goes without saying that the plant samples are arranged neatly and even artistically. We know who the collector and artist was because his name is on both a title page and a brass label attached to the carrying case. The title page also informs us that this collection was created during the Summer of 1889 and for Claremont High School. We would guess that the Claremont in question is one in New Hampshire based on where this collection was found but we can not state that definitively. At the time Claremont was a prosperous mill town and presumably this young Willey would have been from an affluent family who afforded him the leisure to create such a collection. including a title page a second prelim with a pencil illustration of a rose and "Handle with Care" exhortation and 50 leaves with leaf and flower samples every one of which also has an original sketch of some kind.

Each of the leaves the sheets is 32.5 by 25 cm. Loss of some leaves and some chipped leaves as to be expected given the dryness of the organic material. Chips on the side of the title.
