1901réf. List2108Alaska 1901. Oblong folio 12 ½ x 9 inches. Twelve leaves with 89 photographs rebound in modern cloth. Binding in fine condition photographs generally excellent some leaves with clear tape repairs. A well preserved album of photographs showing mining operations in the Golovin Bay region about fifty to seventy-five miles northwest of Nome during the tail end of the Klondike Gold Rush period in 1900-1901. The album shows the operations of the Pioneer Company in Alaska in great detail including the travel by boat and the camps along Opher Creek as well as many photographs of the mining operation itself. According to a caption in one of the photographs $12000 worth of gold was taken out of the “Discovery Claim” on Ophir Creek. The album also includes several photographs of the indigenous population. The compiler of the book appears to have been a student at a mining college at some point as some of the photographs show a “Class of ‘04’” sign. The photographs are dated from 1897 to 1901. Interior scenes and a particularly broad portrayal of mining life and operations make this an uncommonly informative photographic document of Alaskan mining operations during this period. Lowny J.D.

1490réf. 007087Flanders 1490. No Binding. Very Good. A single leaf from a late fifteenth-century illuminated manuscript likely a compact devotional Book of Hours made in the Ghent-Bruges region of Flanders c. 1490-1500. Measuring approx. 205 x 125 mm the leaf is laid out in 33 lines of Gothic textura quadrata in one column with French rubrics and Latin text. The top margin features a richely painted minature showing the Man of Sorrows Christ bearing his wounds accompanied by an angel set in a deep ultramarine panel with burnished gold and green winged figure. The text block is accompanied by alternating gold and blue intials delicate penwork and some red rubrication. The text appears to be communion prayers "Domine lesu Christe qui hanc scratissimam carnem." followed by "Domine non sum dignus ut intres subtectum meun." etc. likely from the "Hours of the Cross" or "Hours of the Holy Communion" section of a Book of Hours for the French market. The vellum is of fine quality with a smooth parchment surface minimal hair-side texture. The leaf retains its original marginal trimming with slight irregularity and appears to have been removed from a volume but with no visible signs of later trimming or cropping of the illumination. The leaf is stable clean with very light toning at the edges. The minature remains vibrant with no flaking of pigment. The blank ink text remains sharp with good contrast. Overall a very fine well-preserved example of a late medieval Flemish illuminated leaf with minature. Ships unmatted and unframed unknown
