1920ref. 233311920. Logging Pacific Northwest logging industry photo archive documenting systems of timber extraction in Oregon Washington and Northern California during the early twentieth century illustrating how camps moved logs through cutover ground snowbound slopes skid roads and mechanized loading sites. The prints show the sequence of logging work: clearing hauling lifting sorting and burning slash as part of industrial forest production across the western lumber belt. Photo archive of 4 large silver gelatin photographs each approximately 8 x 9.5 inches Northern California Oregon and Washington circa 1920s-1940s. One photograph shows a jammer raising a massive log while a worker stands in the foreground with peavey in hand and freshly cut rounds stacked beside the machine; the verso reads "Jammer bringing in W.P. log / Park River Lbr. Co." Another records winter logging on a steep snow-covered hillside where a horse team and two workers move timber down a built log road; the verso notes "I-20 / winter logging at camp 23 PFI / 1019-CL." A third shows a bulldozer amid a broad cutover tract strewn with felled trunks and stumps emphasizing road building and ground clearing after cutting. The fourth captures active burning in the forest with smoke rising around a dozer and a handwritten verso caption reading "Burning out skid road with dozer." Captions include "PHOTO FROM / WESTERN PINE ASSOCIATION / Yeon Building Portland 4 Oregon / PLEASE RETURN" stamps a Rognon Studio Westwood California stamp and a Haas Brown Seattle studio mark preserving the circulation history of the prints within western forestry and commercial photography networks. These photographs come from the period when Pacific Northwest logging shifted across overlapping systems of machinery camp roads and organized slash disposal concrete evidence of how western timber companies converted forest land into transportable lumber under changing technological conditions. Creasing to corners and minor loss at corner margin on one image. Overall clear and sharp very good condition. The photographs preserve the working sequence of regional resource extraction and the transformation of forest landscapes in the Pacific Northwest. unknown

1851Decorativa carta geografica pubblicata in The Illustrated Atlas, And Modern History Of The World Geographical, Political, Commercial & Statistical… edito da John Tallis. Le mappe del The Illustrated Atlas non solo fornivano conoscenze geografiche aggiornate, ma utilizzavano anche viste a vignetta all'interno del disegno per mostrare i popoli nativi e le loro occupazioni, le città e i punti di interesse. Le mappe si rifanno alla tradizione cartografica dei cartografi olandesi del XVII secolo, con bordi decorativi finemente incisi. Le tavole sono state disegnate e incise da John Rapkin con vedute realizzate da una serie di artisti di spicco. Le mappe furono pubblicate in volume completo dal 1851 fino al 1865 circa. Alcune delle mappe furono pubblicate anche in altri libri di storia pubblicati da Tallis, tra cui quello sulle British Colonies e, senza le vignette, in dizionari geografici ed enciclopedie fino al 1880 circa. John Tallis (1817-1876) era un editore di mappe britannico. Nato nelle Midlands, Tallis arrivò a Londra negli anni '40 del XIX secolo. Tallis iniziò la sua carriera londinese con una serie di notevoli vedute stradali di Londra. Iniziò una collaborazione con un certo Frederick Tallis, forse suo fratello, ma la loro collaborazione terminò nel 1849. In occasione della Grande Esposizione del 1851, Tallis pubblicò il The Illustrated Atlas. Le mappe furono successivamente ristampate dalla London Printing & Publishing Company, che lasciò intatta l'imprint di Tallis, assicurandogli così una fama duratura. Incisione su acciaio, coloritura dei confini all'acquarello, in ottime condizioni. Islands outlined with gold and surrounded by illustrations of Auckland, Mount Egmont, a New Zealander, and the port of Wellington. Border in a New Zealand motif. Decorative map taken from The Illustrated Atlas, And Modern History Of The World Geographical, Political, Commercial & Statistical by John Tallis The maps from The Illustrated Atlas were first published in serial form to a target audience that led insular lives due to the expense and hardship of travel. All that changed as the progress of the nineteenth century brought swift and dramatic changes in public awareness of far away places. Tallis' maps no doubt played an important role in this dramatic awakening. These maps not only provided up-to-date geographical knowledge, but also used vignette views within the map's design to show the native people and their occupations, cities and points of interest. The maps hark back to a cartographic tradition from the Dutch mapmakers of the seventeenth century with finely engraved decorative borders. The maps were drawn and engraved by John Rapkin with views drawn and engraved by a number of prominent artists. The maps were issued as a complete volume from 1851 until about 1865. Some of the maps were also published in other history books published by Tallis including British Colonies and, without the vignettes, in geographical dictionaries and encyclopedias until about 1880. John Tallis (1817-1876) was a British map publisher. Born in the Midlands, Tallis came to London in the 1840s. Tallis began his London career with a series of remarkable London street views. He began a partnership with a Frederick Tallis, possibly his brother, but their collaboration ended in 1849. For the Great Exhibition of 1851, Tallis published the Illustrated World Atlas, one of the last series of decorative world maps ever produced. The maps were later reissued by the London Printing & Publishing Company, who left the Tallis imprint intact, thus ensuring his enduring fame. In 1858, he began publication of the popular Illustrated News of the World and National Portrait Gallery of Eminent Personages, selling it in 1861 (it ceased publication in 1863). Engraving, hand-coloured outlines, in very good condition.

1917ref. List1730Chicago: Poole Brothers 1917. Folding map measuring 38 ½ x 26 ¾ inches. Tape repairs to verso some tears at folds and edges still bring and attractive good to very good overall with excellent restoration potential. A map of the canneries in Alaska British Columbia and Washington operated by the Deming and Gould Company who were influential in the growth of the Alaskan salmon trade. The map's date of printing 1917 suggests that perhaps it was related to the war effort as salmon demand increased during this period. The Demings based in Chicago were influential in the growth of the salmon trade in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest founding Pacific American Fisheries Inc. in 1899 and continuing in various iterations until their sale of the firm in 1934 due to president E.B. Deming's ailing health. The map shows seventeen different canneries several on the Alaska peninsula and the one in Bellingham. We find no record of this imprint only a later and small version held at the University of Washington. Poole Brothers unknown
