1909réf. 5288Various locations mostly in Cuba and Florida: March 5 to April 1 1909. About very good. 21 leaves illustrated with 235 photographs all with typed captions. Oblong folio. Contemporary full dark brown cloth brad bound. Moderate staining and coiling to covers some edge wear. Bottom corners of all leaves chipped not costing content. Occasional minor wear to photos or captions. A well-organized and meticulously-captioned vernacular photograph album with significant content on Florida and Cuba in the first decade of the 20th century. The album is organized chronologically and features a family from Ohio traveling from home by train to Florida and thence to Cuba then returning home in the spring of 1909. The first seven and the last twenty-five photographs emanate from Ohio where the journey started Tennessee and Georgia but otherwise the album features Florida and Cuba in over 200 pictures. The scenes in Florida range from Jacksonville to Key West and other points in-between featuring the state in almost 120 photos both before and after the traveling party went to Cuba. The images capture portraits of the travelers numerous homes hotels businesses and other buildings including an ostrich farm in Jacksonville numerous scenes in Ocala including one image featuring "Mary and her old colored Mammy" various churches and other scenes in Tampa residences in Key West beach scenes at Long Key various hotels and agricultural fields in Miami and various buildings in Palm Beach Ormand and St. Augustine concluding with a front view of the "Old Slave Market" in the latter city. Most notably the album includes eighty-six photographs of Cuba the nexus point for the present trip where the party arrived on March 20. The Cuba scenes mostly feature Havana with several views of "Beautiful Residences" and other buildings plus some street views and other scenes in the city. Other interesting Havana scenes picture the railroad station "The Bone Yard -- Old destroyed Catacombs" scenes in the Malecon and more. Some of the street scenes in Havana picture local residents one of "Children on the street corner" and another showing "Children scrambling for pennies" in the middle of the street. The album also contains views of the wreck of the Maine Morro Castle the interior of Fort Cabanas and more. The travelers managed to wander outside Havana for a day when they ventured to the countryside and the town of Guines on March 23. While there the compiler took photographs of countryside outside Guines a railroad car full of sugar cane thatched houses a group photograph of the students at a "Spanish School in Guines" a "Child crying in the street" a group of locals outside a cafe captioned "Strangers in a strange land.Where we tried to get something to eat" other street scenes in the town and the local jail. The last photograph of Cuba here features a "Large Sugar Mill in Providencia." The group then returned through Florida Georgia and Tennessee where they spent a day at Lookout Mountain and Orchard Knob before their final stop in Dayton Ohio. A wonderful early-20th century travel album with significant views in Florida and Cuba. March 5 to April 1 unknown

1837réf. 370450New York 1837. First edition. 16pp. 8vo. Original printed yellow wrappers repairs to small chips and separation at fold. Provenance: Thomas W. Streeter booklabel on inner rear wrapper pencil notes on front wrapper and first page of text. First edition. 16pp. 8vo. Comprising 1.4 million acres of land on the Gulf of Mexico between the Apalachicola and Wakulla Rivers in West Florida the Forbes land grant was ceded by the Seminoles and Lower Creeks to John Forbes & Company in payment for debts. With trade with Native Americans unprofitable during the War of 1812 Forbes sold the claim. The treaty transferring Florida to the United States did not go into effect until 1821 and private title under Spanish land grants with the territory was questionable. Decades of lawsuits ensued going as high as the Supreme Court. After the resolution of claims the title was reorganized as the Apalachiocola Land Company in 1835. The present report by the President of the Board of Directors of the New York-based company describes the geography of the region and outlines the plan for its division into lots for dwellings and businesses. The report summarizes the surveys of the region and describes the land and its resources and flora. Sabin calls for a map in this report although Servies does not note one. However the text references a map on page 7 which was likely not issued with all copies. The development of the land was not successful and the company eventually folded. "As an object of speculation the Forbes Purchase not only originated in a chaotic era but was hampered for many years by uncertain title to the land. Its development was also hindered by a lack of good agricultural land as well as by competition from the United States itself which was selling new lands in the American West at the same time the Apalachicola Land Company was getting started" Upchurch. This Streeter copy is the only example appearing in auction records and the only one we can trace in the market. Streeter purchased it from Rosenbach in 1936 for $50 and it was acquired at the Streeter sale for $65 by dealer and former Rosenbach employee John Fleming. It was eventually acquired by the collector Jay Kislak. Servies 2010; Streeter sale 1240 this copy; Sabin 5878; American Imprints 43274. See John C.

1880réf. 4993N.p. but likely Live Oak FL 1880. Very good. Albumen photograph 4.5 x 7.75 inches mounted on card. Card trimmed with pinholes at corners remnants of printed caption in bottom margin slight surface soiling and spotting. Penciled annotation on verso. A stunning original photograph featuring Rev. Joseph Leroy Atwell Fish 1828-1890 and his wife and children posed amongst their African-American students at an unnamed "colored school" which was very likely the Florida Baptist Institute. The images captures Fish his wife and probably his daughters in the middle of the frame standing in front of a large two-story schoolhouse surrounded by about eighty young Black men and women in suits and dresses. Revered Fish was a graduate of Amherst College and the Newton Theological Seminary who was ordained a Baptist minister in 1856. Fish was also a teacher who helped found Florida Memorial University Florida Baptist Institute in Live Oak in 1880 where he served as first president of the institution until his death there on March 26 1890. Florida Memorial University is the only HBCU in the southern part of the state. The penciled annotation on the present photograph provides some information on the photograph but is probably ultimately misleading in one regard: "Rev. J.L.A. Fish & wife In Virginia teaching a colored school -- He married my Father & Mother Mr. & Mrs. Milan Hills Lucy M. Williams Dec. 21 1875." The latter part of this inscription is indeed true. Reverend Fish married Milan Hills and Lucy Williams on December 21 1875 in Hebron New York where he was serving as a church pastor. But the historical record does not indicate that Reverend Fish ever taught at an African-American school in Virginia if he did it was so brief that it is now lost to history. Fish's first known foray into teaching African American students was a brief six-month stint in Natchez Mississippi in 1879. Immediately thereafter Fish was appointed to the Florida Baptist Institute where he served the last decade of his life. As such it is far more likely that the inscriber here meant to say that Reverend Fish and his wife were "In FLORIDA teaching a colored school." Reverend Fish's work at the Florida Institute is covered in the Obituary Record of Graduates of Amherst College for the Academical Year ending June 27 1883: "His chief work was with the Freedmen as he brought Florida Institute out of all its troubles financial and social changed the feeling of the whites from hatred to sympathy with his work and put the school on a permanent foundation. His aim was to educate leaders for the race and the principal effort of his school was to train teachers and preachers to go out through the state and by their example to lift up and educate both intellectually and morally the colored people. His influence was felt throughout the state both through his training of teachers and preachers and through his counsels given at conventions associations and other gatherings of the colored men and in private. He is mourned by both white and black. By the whites because they knew his teachings would help the colored people without causing trouble to them. By the latter because they miss their leader teacher and friend. unknown
