With ca. 90 mounted original gelatin silver photographs and 2 postcards from ca. 14x85 cm 5 ½x3¼ in to ca. 109x65 cm 4 ¼ x 2½ in. Some photos with period caption in negative citing ‘Banzon photos’ likely a local studio the others without captions. Two Real Photo Color Postcards in The Collection Show the Subano Women and Nagasaki View. Both are mounted with a strong glue the previous owner tried to un-glue one to reveal the signature ‘P.J.’ possible date ‘1919’ and readdress ‘To U.S.N.Radio Station’. Other images might be captioned at the back this is subject to further research. The Tatoosh group of photos are loose one of them captioned ‘This is the most lonesome place in the world’. Binding worn several photos missing few images loose one of the postcards with tears but otherwise a very good album of strong interesting photos. Historically important collection of original photographs illustrating the life of American Navy Officer Serving at Navy Radio Station in Washington and Philippines. He likely received his training at Tatoosh before being sent to Philippines. Tatoosh station existed since late 1900s being one of the first Island Naval Radio Stations on West Coast following the first station on Mare Island that has been established in 1904. The album is divided into three group of photos the first one being from WA the second - from Philippines one of them dated in negative as of 1913 which suggests the arrival of the officer to Philippines around that time or in late 1910s. The same group of photos are taken in variety of places in the Philippines but already include a number of photos of Las Baños including the panorama of Los Baños Laguna with U.S. Ambulance & Signal Corp Camp Eldridge on it. The image of thecamp is a good verification for the dating of the photos of the first group: it has been photographed in a very early stage of its establishment while later photos from before Japanese invasion show more buildings and more developed territory. This group of photos which are larger include 17 images. The third group of photos is dedicated entirely to Las Baños its radio facilities and the life of the officer: his home his wife his friends the locals he has photographed. In this series the photographer is likely climbed one of the radio towers and took aerial shots in the process of his climb as well as from the top. As a result a series of photographed has survived showing the laguna and the operation in Los Baños in the early stage. US Naval Radio Control Station was built in 1917 including three 600' towers by 1930 it was operating at a significant capacity as the photos published by navy-radio website demonstrate. It is likely our group of photos is taken earlier as the territory shown on the photos from 1930 is developed more significantly and the pathway to operation building and the gate is not constructed yet. were built in 1917 - one destroyed in 1941 attack two demolished in 1945. 1920s was the early days for US Navy Communication Stations abroad the US: in 1924 there was a shore-based site at Shanghai as early as 1924 but its operations had been shifted to the USS General Alva in 1927; Guam in 1929 had one-person intercept site. Oahu had two stations established in 1924 and 1925. The precent station in Los Baños probably was playing a significant role in the region. Civilian radio in the Philippines started in June 1922 with the establishment of KZKZ AM in Manila Philippines by Henry Herman Sr. owner of the Electrical Supply Company in Manila. One radio tower destroyed in 1941 attack two demolished in 1945. During Japanese occupation Los Baños became known for an agricultural school campus turned Japanese internment camp. In famous ‘Raid on Los Baños’ United States Army Airborne and Filipino guerrilla task force have liberated 2147 Allied civilian and military internees from the camp. Likely the operation affected the Radio Control Station that was not re-started after 1945. Overall an important photographic evidence of the US Navy Radio operations in the Pacific. unknown

Historically significant original content-rich logbook with a detailed record of the first trade voyage of a New York East Indiaman “America” from New York to Canton Guangzhou and back in June 1809 – June 1810. A namesake of the famous Salem merchant ship and privateer during the War of 1812 ship “America” built in 1803-1804 made five privateer cruises in 1812-1815 broken up in 1831 this “America” was built on the New York shipyard of Adam and Noah Brown for the noted local merchant company “Minturn & Champlin” and launched in May 1809 shortly before her first voyage The United States Gazette May 15 1809 p. 3. The ship’s tonnage was 493 tons Morrison J.H. History of New York Ship Yards. N.Y. 1909 p. 47. On June 21 1809 New York authorities cleared “America” for a voyage to Canton under the command of Captain Mather Evening Post Marine List// The Evening Post. New York June 21 1809 p. 3. The logbook opens with “America’s” 158-day outbound voyage starting on June 24 1809 when the ship discharged the pilot after the passing of the Sandy Hook spit at the south entrance to New York Bay. She passed the Cape of Good Hope on September 12-13 1809 without calling at port and crossed the Indian Ocean choosing the route to China via the Alas Strait between Lombok and Sumbawa Islands Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia. On October 21-22 “America” anchored near the “Bally Town” also marked “Laboagee” on some old maps; it is a settlement south of the modern-day town of Selong on the east coast of Lombok to get fresh water and trade for fresh supplies. A part of the crew went on shore where they were received by a local “king” who also visited the ship. “America” then crossed the “Java” Bali Sea proceeded north through the Makassar Strait between Borneo and Sulawesi crossed on October 26 – November 4 and went across the “Celebean” Celebes Sea towards the Pacific Ocean passing “Sarangaran” Sarangani and “Meangis” Miangas Islands. On November 11 1809 while in the “Celebean Sea” east of “Meangis” Island the compiler saw an island which “I did not find laid down in any chart Capt. Mather “America’s” Captain during the voyage in ship Aeolus from the Cape of Good Hope bound to China first discovered it on Sunday the 30th of November 1806…” The ship then sailed north in the Western Pacific Ocean along the east coast of the Philippines November 13-24 crossed the South China Sea passing “Bashee” Babyan “Lemma” Lamma and “Ladrones” Wanshan Islands arriving to Macao Macau on November 29. The goal of the voyage was to trade in Canton and quickly return to New York but “America” stayed there longer than expected. Captain Mather later reported that “all the English & American ships were embargoed at Canton from Jan. 27 to Feb. 22 in consequence of a new difficuly between the English and Chinese occasioned by a Chinese having been killed by a British seaman; and the English refused to deliver up any one unless the criminal could be pointed out which could not be done. It was expected the difficulty would be amicably settled” National Intelligencer. Washington City D.C. 18 June 1810 p. 3. The logbook omits the ship’s almost three-month stay in China and resumes with her departure from Macao on February 24 1810. On her 104-days return voyage “America” crossed the South China Sea sailed through the Gaspar Strait between Bangka and Belitung Islands east of Sumatra Java Sea and Sunda Strait went across the Indian Ocean and passed Cape of Good Hope April 25 and St. Helena Island May 6. The logbook ends at sea south-east of New York Bay close to the point recorded on the first day of the outbound voyage. New York “Evening Post” newspaper reported that “Arrived at this port on Saturday last the following vessels with valuable cargoes: Ship America Mather 105 days from Canton and 44 from the Cape of Good Hope with teas nankeens china silk and cassia to Minturn and Champlin owners” Evening Post Marine List// The Evening Post. New York June 11 1810 p. 3. The logbook follows the “America’s” voyage day by day thoroughly recording the ship’s geographical position and course weather winds currents operations with sails sundry works on board and ship’s repairs geographical objects passed vessels encountered termometer readings in the Strait of Alas and Western Pacific Ocean/ Philippine Sea the number of the day of the voyage and various events comets caught sharks fights on board an incident with a crew member falling overboard &c. Very interesting is a lengthy description of interactions with the inhabitants of the “Bally town” on Lombok Island where an “American ensign” was flying on shore notes about the sighting of an unknown island in the Western Pacific Ocean “two large comets” in the Indian Ocean endured storms various events on board names of encountered ships &c. Overall an important content-rich source on the history of early American trade voyages to China at the beginning of the 19th century. One of the latest mentions of the ship “America’s voyage to Canton still commanded by “Captain Mather” and owned by “Messrs. Minturn & Champlin” dates back to 1815 Alexandria Gazette.

1910Best.-Nr. 235901910. Late Qing China and Philippines photo archive depicting military authority public punishment foreign presence and imperial architecture circa 1910 in the years immediately before the Xinhai Revolution ended dynastic rule in China. The Chinese photographs show Beijing monuments urban crowds soldiers execution spectators and foreign personnel at a moment when Qing authority remained visible but unstable. The group places tourist views of imperial architecture beside scenes of coercion and military order linking travel photography to the political crisis of the late Qing state. Photo archive of 32 silver gelatin photographs each 2.5 x 4.25 inches cornered in on 11 x 13.5 inch brown album leaves mainly China with several Philippines views circa 1910. The images show Beijing landmarks including the Temple of Heaven palace buildings imperial gates stone lions carved walls ceremonial terraces walled compounds and garden architecture. Several views show Chinese crowds gathered near military or judicial scenes including a public execution aftermath with a severed head displayed from a pole before laughing onlookers and children with a placard stating the events transpired. Other photographs show Chinese soldiers and civilians in open grounds foreign military or naval personnel a group of men in white naval style uniforms seated in a circle Chinese junks harbor traffic street scenes rickshaws and colonial buildings. The Philippines photographs appear to include Manila street and harbor views a woman and girl a domed theater or civic building tropical shoreline and American colonial urban scenes. China in 1910 stood between the punitive settlement that followed the Boxer Rebellion and the republican revolution that began in Wuchang in October 1911. Foreign troops remained in North China under treaty rights imperial and provincial authorities tried to preserve order through policing army reform and public punishment and revolutionary societies used anti Manchu and anti foreign resentment to attack the legitimacy of Qing rule. The execution photographs show law as spectacle with the punished body displayed before civilians and soldiers rather than hidden within prison administration. The Beijing views record the ceremonial architecture of the dynasty at the same time that its political power was nearing collapse while the Philippines views place China within a wider American and European imperial geography of ports garrisons and colonial travel. Light surface wear toning and occasional fading; mounted with photo corners on album leaves. Overall very good condition. A concentrated visual record of military order public punishment foreign presence and imperial space in East Asia immediately before the fall of the Qing dynasty. unknown

Some units remained stateside or served in Puerto Rico while the 10th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry deployed to the Philippines and later fought Filipino forces after the war with Spain had formally ended. Because the Mount Gretna caption omits a regiment number the company shown cannot be securely identified with Philippine service yet the image preserves the state level mobilization from which such overseas assignments were made. By late 1901 Vigan functioned as an American controlled provincial center in Ilocos Sur where military authority and the new colonial administration operated amid continuing resistance elsewhere in the archipelago. Light surface wear and silvering to several images; tonal variation edge wear and staining to some cardstock mounts. Overall good condition. A concentrated visual record of American military organization from Pennsylvania's 1898 volunteer camps to the daily realities of occupation service in the Philippines. unknown
1938Best.-Nr. 235471938. Large photograph album documenting the colonial Philippines China Japan Hawaii and the United States in the inter war period 1929 and 1930. Likely compiled by an American missionary the photographs are dated and captioned showing colonial education and missionary activities expatriate tourist and native communities village visits portraits of Indigenous Filipinos and well documented Pacific travel infrastructure including photos of early railways and steam ship travel. The album includes many named individuals identified locations typed and handwritten observations and captions with ethnographic and paternalistic undertones characteristic of colonial travel photography in 1929. Photo album of approximately 140 silver gelatin and sepia toned photographs all 2.5 x 4.5 inches Philippines Shanghai and Japan 1929 and 1930. The photographs show white men and women in pith helmets cloche hats field clothing and travel dresses; a man identified as "fellow teacher Mr. Paul Russel"; a group captioned "Miss Knape Mrs. Chillson Ms. Hawkins Ms. Lynch Mrs. Cash"; group photographs of travelers likely American teachers standing in dense tropical vegetation; men crossing streams with walking sticks and hats; indigenous families and children outside thatched or leaf covered dwellings. A typed verso caption identifies "the home in Tagbilaran" comparing it to a house in Albay giving domestic detail of expatriate residence and social life outside Manila. Philippine locations including Tagbilaran and Albay village houses coastal and river landscapes and jungle terrain; In China Shanghai's "native city"; and Japanese sites including Kamakura and Tokyo. A photo from Shanghai depicts a street scene with horse drawn carts and Chinese garden or pavilion architecture. Photographs from Japan show the Great Buddha at Kamakura temple and shrine buildings a large torii steps to a temple complex and a Tokyo Imperial Palace bridge view. The provincial Philippines images include repeated portraits of local and Indigenous peoples including women and girls captioned "These are the belles of the jungle" families outside thatched dwellings children gathered near village houses and residents approached by the travelers for staged photographs. These captions and scenes document Indigenous Filipino subjects through paternalistic and exoticizing language while recording houses clothing family groups and village life in Bohol and nearby provincial districts in the 1920s. One photograph is captioned "December 29 1929" and describes the travelers as "trying to convince Filipinos to allow their photograph to be taken." In the period after the Spanish American War when the United States governed the islands as a colonial possession and made public education one of the central instruments of American administration. American teachers had entered the colonial school system in large numbers after 1901 and by the 1920s their work housing mobility and social networks formed a recognizable expatriate layer in provincial towns as well as Manila. The English captions reference to a "fellow teacher" and named residences in Tagbilaran and Albay point to a likely American teaching or expatriate circle though no creator is identified in the visible material. The Shanghai and Japan views extend the itinerary across treaty port China and Japanese tourist sites moving from the "native city" of Shanghai to Kamakura's Buddhist monuments and Tokyo imperial architecture. Some tonal variation in the photographs some pages unbound from album. Every image remains legible those detached from the album carry the album residue and many have handwritten and typed captions en verso; there are likely many more inscriptions which remain concealed as they are adhered to the album leaves. Overall in very good condition. A large dated visual record of a teacher in the American colonial Philippines and other East Asian travel routes during the interwar consolidation of American power in the Pacific. unknown
1899Best.-Nr. 237631899. American Imperialism and the Colonization of the Philippines: Admiral Dewey Spanish-American War Military Victory Celebration Parade and New Rochelle Life Photo Album 1899-1900. An important photographic record of the public celebration of American imperial expansion following the Spanish-American War highlighted by approximately 38 photographs of the September 30 1899 New York parade honoring Admiral George Dewey and the American victory at Manila Bay. The celebration occurred as the United States was imposing colonial rule over the Philippines and fighting Filipino forces seeking independence giving the photographs particular significance as a visual record of American overseas conquest presented at home through patriotic pageantry military power and mass public celebration. Photo album of approximately 153 photographs including approximately 117 silver gelatin prints and 36 albumen photographs most 3.5 x 2.5 inches New York principally 1899 and 1900. The photographs are held in gray window mounts in a string-bound album and can be removed as they are not adhered to the leaves; handwritten captions and dates occur throughout. Approximately 38 photographs document the military parade celebration showing ranks of West Point cadets mounted cavalry identified as "Troop A" and "Troop C" artillery and horse-drawn equipment military bands American flags and enormous crowds lining the parade route. The official procession included 350 West Point cadets sailors and Marines from Dewey's fleet regular Army troops New York National Guard regiments Spanish-American War veterans and Governor Theodore Roosevelt and his staff. One view is captioned "Only woman in parade" while another photograph depicts the first American flag "hoisted over Morro Castle at Santiago." Dewey's May 1 1898 destruction of the Spanish fleet at Manila Bay helped open the Philippines to American occupation and transformed him into a national symbol of the country's new overseas power. Spain subsequently ceded the Philippines to the United States while Filipinos who had fought for independence resisted American rule resulting in the Philippine-American War beginning in 1899. The New York celebration therefore documented more than Dewey's military homecoming: its flags troops artillery bands political leaders and immense crowds embodied the popular celebration of America's emergence as an imperial power at the very moment it was establishing colonial control over the Philippines. The remainder of the album documents New Rochelle and Long Island Sound life including boating hunting fishing families dogs horses carriages substantial houses residential construction and waterfront recreation. Identified subjects include the launch of "Kathleen" Horseshoe Harbor Glen Island the Columbia Library and the Atlantic City Boardwalk. Bound album with severely worn spine; photographs generally clean and in very good condition with occasional corner wear creasing and small tears. Overall in good condition. unknown
1898Best.-Nr. 231701898. Stereoview archive documenting the rapid overseas deployment of American troops at the moment the Spanish American War gave way to a longer and more revealing imperial presence in the Philippines. This archive marks the transition from the 1898 defeat of Spain to the far more sustained American military occupation that followed. After the U.S. victory over Spain the Treaty of Paris transferred the Philippines to the United States for $20 million. This resulted in a battle between American forces and Filipino nationalists under Emilio Aguinaldo in February 1899 when Filipino hopes for independence collided with the reality of a new colonial ruler. This collection of photos preserves the process of colonialism through troop deployment provisioning medical treatment and the routines of military presence. Archive of 19 stereoview cards most published by B. W. Kilburn and James M. Davis centered on American military activity in the Philippines with additional views from Puerto Rico Cuba and the United States. Each measure 3.5" x 7". The core of the images remain in Philippine occupation; "The 17th Infantry crossing the river P.I." shows movement through tropical terrain; "Our Volunteers awaiting orders under the tropical sun in the Philippines" captures the idleness and bodily strain of expeditionary service; "2nd Division Hospital established in Angeles Church P.I." reveals improvised medical infrastructure inside a colonial religious building; "Dealing out pork and beans to the Oregon Volunteers P.I." appears in multiple variants and preserves the logistics of feeding American troops in camp; and "The Insurgent House of Congress on Fire Malolos P.I." places the war directly in relation to the destruction of Filipino political institutions. The remaining cards broaden that story outward: "Troop D 5th U.S. Cavalry lining up for dinner Mayaguez P.R." points to U.S. military operations in Puerto Rico; "Modern Krupp Gun Morro Castle Havana Cuba" preserves the Spanish imperial military landscape at Havana just as U.S. power displaced it; and the exhibition drill cards including "The Little Commodore" Boston '98 and "Grand Stand Exhibition Drill Boston '98" connect the overseas war to patriotic spectacle and military display at home. Stereographs were a common late nineteenth century format for circulating military imagery and was used to render mobilization and drill into mass-viewed visual media. Minor toning edge wear and rubbing; images and printed captions remain legible; overall very good condition. This collection preserves the American campaign in the Philippines not as abstract policy but as a contemporary visual record of how troops were deployed housed fed and sustained while the United States transformed victory over Spain into colonial rule in the Pacific. unknown
1898Best.-Nr. 231301898. Spanish-American War stereoview archive circa 1898-1899 documenting how the war was pictured through mass-produced photographic views that followed U.S. mobilization battlefield action occupation and military life across both Cuba and the Philippines. These stereoviews preserves the visual system by which the war was circulated to American audiences showcasing camp organization troop movement burial hospital care naval power and overseas deployment. Particularly notable is the archive's coverage of the Rough Riders the Santiago campaign in Cuba and U.S. presence in Manila and Malate showing how stereoview photography helped normalize the war's expansion from anti-Spanish conflict into a broader American imperial presence. Archive of 21 stereoviews Various publishers. Spanish-American War stereoview archive. Cuba the Philippines and the United States circa 1898-1899. each measuring 3" x 7". The views are drawn from multiple phases and theaters of the war including camp and drill scenes in the United States embarkation and troop arrivals at Tampa battlefield and occupation imagery from Cuba and extensive and some grisly scenes from Manila and surrounding areas in the Philippines. Captions and images show soldiers in formation cavalry drill military reviews naval artillery hospital interiors encampments burial grounds and troops in active position. Cuban views include Morro Castle after bombardment dead and wounded on the battlefield of Santiago U.S. soldiers preparing to invade Cuba and troops dining near Cabañas Fortress. Philippine views include a departure for Manila American pickets routing a Filipino reconnoitering party the 18th Infantry engaged by Filipino outposts volunteers awaiting orders under the tropical sun Army Hospital Manila and "Our Boys in Camp at Malate P.I." One stereoview identifies Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the mobilization phase linking the archive to one of the war's most publicly mythologized units. As a group the stereoviews demonstrate the process by which the Spanish-American War was framed not simply as a short military victory over Spain but as a sustained structure of U.S. troop deployment and occupation extending from Cuba into the Philippines. The Manila and Malate scenes are especially important in this regard since they place American soldiers within the opening phase of the Philippine conflict where U.S. military presence quickly moved beyond liberation rhetoric into imperial control. The archive's mixture of battlefield casualties camp routine naval spectacle and celebratory review scenes shows how stereoscopic publishing converted war into a domestic viewing experience while reinforcing the legitimacy of American expansion abroad. Wear to mounts some toning; overall very good condition. A strong cross-theater visual archive of the Spanish-American War and the emergence of U.S. imperial power in Cuba and the Philippines. unknown

1898Best.-Nr. 13092New York: Muller Luchsinger & Co 1898. Color chromolithograph 16 x 20 inches printed on thick glossy paper. Corners a bit chipped several short closed edge tears minor surface wear. Image area still vibrant and clean. Very good overall. A striking and very rare lithograph capturing an important moment during the Spanish-American War specifically the American Navy's assault on Manila Bay in the Philippines in 1898.

The scene depicts the first major engagement of the Spanish-American War a decisive victory for the American Navy that stands as one of the most lop-sided naval battles in history. During the course of the encounter the Spanish Pacific Squadron was destroyed and effectively ended Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. The bombardment was commanded by Rear Admiral George Dewey 1837-1917 whose head-and-shoulders portrait appears in the bottom left corner. The work was accomplished by the New York firm of Muller Luchsinger & Company a prolific but still somewhat obscure producer of prints lithographs and chromolithographs in the latter-19th and early-20th centuries. OCLC records just two institutional copies at the Library of Congress and the Clements Library.
