1912réf. 64223Portland OR: American Map and Reproducing Company Corner E. Stark & E. 43rd 1912.

The map depicts public lands including township range and section grids along with neighborhood and addition place names steam & electric interurban railroads and electric streetcar lines along with parks city limits and radial distances from point in downtown Portland included. Place names included Zion Town the old steel bridge built in 1888 followed by a new Steel bridge which opened later in 1912 the Plank/Old Canyon Road Laurelhurst and others. Of particular interest beyond most maps of Portland during the era this map delineates a significant portion of Vancouver Washington prior to the construction of the Interstate Bridge across Hayden Island as well as inroads into portions of Northwest Portland and Washington County in the Southwest. Fritsche 1877-1928 was an intrepid German-American photo-lithographer architect printer and later photographer who first arrived in New York before coming West to the Pacific Northwest in 1907 where he set up an architecture and engraving firm with his brother Rudolph Fritsche.

However by 1914 Wenzel had returned to Manhattan with his family including one son and three daughters. Worldcat locates 5 copies U of IL Boston Pub. OHS Reed U of O.

1902réf. 236271902. Early twentieth century American travel photograph album with accompanying handwritten identification notes circa 1900 to 1905 documenting the travels of the family of Texas & Pacific Railway official C. G. Warner through the railroad steamship and hotel networks that connected the American Southwest with Europe during the mature era of international leisure travel. The accompanying manuscript key identifies family members railroad scenes buildings and destinations throughout the album transforming anonymous travel photographs into a documented record of an identifiable railroad family. The notes further preserve family tradition explaining that Warner traveled to Europe in 1902 for medical treatment providing a narrative framework that links the railroad photographs Atlantic crossing and European views as a documented journey. Photo album of silver gelatin photographs various sizes most approximately 3.5 x 3.5 inches the largest approximately 6.25 x 8.25 inches United States Europe and Mexico circa 1900 to 1905 accompanied by four pages of handwritten identifications. The opening sequence depicts repeated group portraits posed around Texas & Pacific locomotive no. 21 including women standing on the pilot smokebox running boards and cab additional views of the locomotive in profile railroad employees passenger cars station scenes and the Railroad Young Men's Christian Association building. The handwritten notes identify C. G. Warner in multiple railroad photographs and suggest he served as a director of the Texas & Pacific identify Elizabeth W. Douglass in an early family portrait distinguish mail or express cars identify Warner's private railroad car and name additional family members including Aunt Libbet Anna Warner Clara K. Green Clara Kooser and H. B. Kooser. The journey continues aboard the American Line steamship SS St. Paul including deck scenes crew members harbor views and a large commercial photograph of the liner under way. European photographs include the Arc de Triomphe the Paris Opéra lakeside towns and grand hotels in Switzerland the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben in London streetscapes waterfronts public gardens and prominent civic buildings. Family members appear throughout in formal portraiture seaside recreation hotel grounds and informal gatherings while additional photographs record Juárez Mexico and substantial American residences photographed before departure. The handwritten notes record that C. G. Warner Aunt Juliett and Aunt Libbet sailed on April 2 1902 returning on June 3 after spending most of their journey in France with a shorter stay in England and state that Warner traveled abroad because of poor health to "take the baths." The notes further preserve family recollection that contemporary newspapers reported Warner "derived much benefit from two months' rest" before spending time in the Gould offices upon his return to New York placing the photographs within a documented episode in the life of a named railroad executive rather than an anonymous vacation. Viewed alongside the photographs the manuscript identifications establish people places transportation infrastructure and chronology substantially strengthening the documentary character of the album. Red stained leather album with black pasted decoration; pages 7 and 9 loose binding heavily worn album leaves toned photographs clear and firmly adhered. Overall in good condition. A documented visual record of one American railroad family's movement through the interconnected rail steamship and hotel systems that carried affluent travelers between Texas New York Mexico and Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. unknown
