1906ref. List821San Francisco 1906. Thirty-one silver gelatin prints measuring 4 x 3 inches with four accompanying sheets measuring 8 x 5 ½ inches identifying the images. Also included is the original envelope to an illegible recipient or possibly crediting the images. Fading to images else about fine very good minus overall. Many photographers amateur and professional alike took to the streets of San Francisco to document devastation caused by the earthquake and subsequent fire of 1906. Collected here are thirty-one images taken by one such photographer - likely an amateur based on the image quality and perspectives. What is unusual about the collection here is that the photographer took meticulous notes on each image and the images as found in a rather illegible envelope included several sheets explaining the location of each image. The photographer travelled through most of downtown with varied locations represented. The title is likely misleading as the fire raged for several days and the pictures were likely taken several days after the 18th of April. The envelope has the name "Mrs H. Thof illegible" which suggests that perhaps the photographer was a woman or possibly that these were given to the same as a gift by another photographer. Overall a scarce survival of images of which we find no other copies. unknown books

1906ref. 60850San Francisco & Los Angeles CA: Clinton Johnson 1906. Ten albumen mounted stereoview photos sized 6.4 x 3.25 in. mounted on 7 x 3.5 in. flat gray studio board mimeographed typescript title labels mounted on all versos most images w/ photographer’s imprint w/in the negative at lower fore-edge all w/ rounded corners very minor edgewear still a NF grouping. This outstanding group of very scarce albumen Woodbury-type stereograph photos vividly capture the widespread damage from the April 18 1906 earthquake and subsequent fires which destroyed over 80% of the city of San Francisco which at the time was the largest city on the West Coast. Nearly three-fourths of the population were left homeless and makeshift refugee camps in Golden Gate Park the Presidio the Panhandle and the beaches between Ingleside and North Beach operated for years after the disaster as the city rebuilt. Reconstruction and commercial activities began almost immediately with a couple of these images showing the roadways largely cleared of debris with piles of rubble and devastation spreading into the distance. Many of the images show gutted buildings advertising signs faintly visible in the ruined brick facades and immense piles of masonry and smoking ruins. One of the images capture groups of men hunkering down reading papers smoking and largely shell-shocked waiting in the refugee line for aid. The historic James Lick Baths are depicted in ruins ine one of the images and were rebuilt following the disaster utilizing as much of the original structure as possible in order to remain in operation and the facade was simplified from the original Richardson Romanesque Revival to Renaissance Revival and would operate as one of five public baths from 1906 to 1920. The structure was later converted to the People’s Laundry in operation until 1973. Another of the stereoviews depicts the remnants of the McCormick Hotel before it would later be destroyed along with all of the surrounding ruins by the US Army Corps of Engineers. In fact one sergeant of the battalion narrowly escaped death as the building collapsed while he was placing the charge in the basement. Johnson 1875-1948 appears in street directories in Los Angeles as photographer from 1896-1906 but appears on no census or business trade listings for the period and also managed to eschew registering for the draft. His stereograph series for the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake & Fire appears to be relatively uncommon and the only major institutional holdings are in the Bancroft library with 39 BANC PIC 1905.02074-.02118--STER however nearly all of the images in this collection are not represented. In addition these images correspond mostly closely in format to the Bancroft’s version which were issued with decorative printed boards and captions rubber stamped below while these do not bear the printed boards and captions are mounted on versos.

ref. 51-6516Paris: Black Sun Press MCMXXXI. 4to. 18 x 23cm. Original wraps. One of 50 numbered copies on Holland paper. Volume IV of "The Collected Poems of Harry Crosby.".Caresse published this work 2 years after Harry killed his lover Josephine Rotch and himself. Crosby revered Rimbaud and with Rimbaud’s self-deregulation in mind believed in his own idealizations of suicide. To his wife Caresse Crosby he had proposed suicide pacts on several occasions since early in their relationship.He wrote about such pacts in his poems and in his diaries and he talked about them most consequentially with the most significant of his many mistresses Josephine Rotch Bigelow with whom he was found dead in bed—a bullet hole to her left temple a bullet hole to his right temple his right hand holding a .25 caliber pistol his free hand joined in Josephine’s—in a New York hotel room on December 11th 1929. The couple was fully clothed and there was no suicide note. They had consumed immense quantities of gin and opium pills not unusual for Harry or his “fire-princess” as he called Josephine who like himself was thoroughly a product of Back Bay Boston. Had Josephine been the first to call Harry’s bluff and insist that he carry through in action the belief he expressed to her that the greatest expression and fulfillment of love was for two lovers to die together in suicide"Minkoff A-42.

1825ref. BK0033Bailey's Brook Nova Scotia 1825. Autograph letter signed "Geo. McLeod" to John Young Esq. Halifax. Stampless folded letter with manuscript "7 / Paid" rate "Post Paid" notation and a clear "POST OFFICE PICTOU / PAID" handstamp. Light filing folds; very good. A contemporary account of rural relief organized for survivors of the Great Miramichi Fire written only eighteen days after the disaster. George McLeod reports traveling personally through Bailey's Brook and the surrounding settlements to solicit provisions and clothing gathering approximately 230 bushels of potatoes together with "considerable articles of wearing apparel" for immediate shipment through Pictou: "I went yesterday in person through the small settlement of Bailey's Brook & its vicinity in quest of some aide for the sufferers & have the pleasure to say that the inhabitants individually contributed very liberally according to their ability. I this day received from them into my store about 230 bushels buntatoes sic & considerable articles of wearing apparel & much more could be obtained if time permitted." The letter is particularly revealing about the material circumstances of disaster relief in a cash-poor agricultural community. The residents had little money available and "nothing else at hand" as their grain had not yet been threshed and the lateness of the season required them to contribute whatever could be gathered and transported without delay-nonetheless they were "willing to give." McLeod notes that additional supplies had been collected at Merigomish and would be combined with those from Bailey's Brook sent to the committee at Pictou and forwarded onward to Miramichi. He also records keeping a list of the individual contributors and the articles supplied under each name. We find no other examples of documents or primary source materials relating to the disaster in commerce or in auction records. A focused primary document of one of the largest fires in early Canadian history with a detailed description of the mechanics of relief. . unknown books

Contemporary black-simulated calf vinyl 3-ring loose-leaf binder rounded corners yapp fore-edges minor edgewear & fraying to some of the linen backing on images minor occasional creasing indications of use wear & bumping to covers still a VG exemplar. This uncommon salesman sample photo album includes excellent original photographs of many significant O.J. Childs Co. fire engines and firefighting equipment manufactured in Utica NY following World War I. These factory images encompass Type “B” Triple Combination on REO chassis; Triple Combination Pump Chemical & Hose Car on Federal 1 1/2 ton chassis; Straight Chemical Equipment o 1921 Brookway 1 1/2 ton chassis; and many other variations thereof. O.J. Childs built their own engines like American-La France because commercial truck engines not only lacked the torque but also the endurance to drive a fire pump for hours without overheating or damaging pistons connecting rods and valves. The images include fire engines supplied to the Morristown NJ Basking Ridge NJ Winsted CT Orenda Hose Co. Griffith IN East Greenwich NJ Mt. Carmel PA Loch Sheldrake NY and many others. Also used by the Childs’ Co. customers were such manufacturers as Dodge-Graham Ford pleasure chassis Packard Model EX White 20-45 Chassis a Ward-La France and many more. Orlando J. Childs organized the O.J. Childs Co. Fire Apparatus in 1899 to take over the business of the Utica Fire Extinguisher Co. who were best known for their chemical fire extinguishers designed and patented originally in 1896-97 by William Pomfret and Thomas Keating. They quickly began actively selling fire extinguishers to businesses individuals and even specialized on fire extinguishers for early automobile enthusiasts during the Brass Era who suffered frequent engine fires. After producing their first Triple Combination Pump Wagon about 1910 they quick espanced into ready-made chemical tank truck fire-engines for rural fire departments. Wallace Childs acquired the Foamite Firefoam Co. in New York in 1922 and in 1926 the entire company was acquired and became a subsidiary of American-La France Fire Engine Co.
