- A. Maurice, Paris 1878, 10,6x16,4cm, une photographie. - Photograph of Victor Hugo in Hauteville-House Taken by andré printed by A. Maurice | Paris [1878] 1891 | 10.6 x 16.4 cm | one photograph Large original photograph on albumin paper, cabinet portrait size, mounted on thick card. Photographer's advert to verso. Rare photograph of Victor Hugo in his house, Hauteville, in the famous red Renaissance drawing room, the writer's favourite, entirely designed by him. The photograph shows the writer seated, his right hand in his vest. In early summer 1878, Hugo had an attack of apoplexy in Paris and went back to Hauteville to convalesce. The photographer, André, took several shots of him at Hauteville. The interesting thing about these pictures is that they are not studio portraits. The glass plates were later recovered by Alexandre Maurice, who printed from them in 1891. A copy of this photograph is in the museum at Hauteville House. We haven't found any other copy in a public collection. [FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS] Grande photographie originale sur papier albuminé, au format carte de cabinet, contrecollée sur un carton fort. Publicité du photographe au dos. Rare photographie de Victor Hugo dans sa maison de Hauteville, dans le fameux salon rouge Renaissance, la pièce préférée de l'écrivain, entièrement conçue par lui. On y voit l'écrivain assis, la main droite dans son gilet. De la pièce on peut voir le grand lustre à gaz, 4 sculptures porte-torchères et un miroir dans le fond. Au début de l'été 1878, Victor Hugo fait une attaque d'apoplexie à Paris et rejoint Hauteville pour sa convalescence durant les mois d'été. Le photographe André prendra alors de lui plusieurs clichés à Hauteville ; l'intérêt de ces photographies est qu'elles ne sont pas des photographies de studio. Les plaques de verre seront récupérés plus tard par Alexandre Maurice qui les tirera en 1891. Cette photographie se trouve au musée de la maison de hauteville-House. Nous n'avons pu repérer d'autres exemplaires dans les collections publiques.
192012830Kansas City: Anderson Photo Company 1920. 22 leaves illustrated with forty-four linen-backed black-and-white silver gelatin photographs each about 7.5 x 9.75 inches most with Anderson Photo Company credit in the negative all in mounting corners. Oblong folio. Contemporary black cloth photograph album with blind-embossed floral designs in the corners of each cover bound with twin black bolts. Light wear to binding. Occasional creasing and minor surface wear to photographs. Very good. A fantastic collection of forty-four large-format photographs showing street views of Kansas City by the Anderson Photo Company. Many of the images feature bustling scenes in the downtown area picturing busy intersections populated with crossing guards moving traffic trolley cars pacing pedestrians and more. The views also naturally capture large towering buildings capturing the businesses operating at the time as well as advertising signage for period products and companies. Among the businesses featured here are the Olney Music Company Harzfeld's Parisian Cloak Company Federmann's Pharmacy the Kansas City Post Hershfield's Jewellers the Old Dutch Mill Cafe McElwain's Wax Museum and numerous others. Some of the advertisers seen here include Bell Telephone Uneeda Biscuit Coca Cola and Victrola. A marquee outside the 10th Street Theatre advertises Mary Pickford's Hearts Adrift which premiered in 1914 indicating that the theater may have been showing the film as a revival or perhaps that some of the present photographs could emanate from the 1910s. The composition of several of the photographs are centered in the street with the photographer shooting straight down street over multiple blocks highlighting the urban canyon nature of the downtown area. The last few photos feature scenes outside downtown picturing the areas around the riverside Pabst brewery the Kansas City Hay Press and two shots of the suburbs.<br /> <br /> The Anderson Photo Company was one of the most active commercial studios in the Kansas City area for about six decades between the 1910s and 1970s. Early advertisements indicate the firm was first known as the Anderson Commercial Photography Company and was often the only photography studio advertising in the Kansas City Post between 1912 and 1915. The company was operated by partners Lawrence C. Dalla and Orville W. Anderson. The studio's credit appears on legions of newspaper images throughout most of the next fifty-plus years. Images from the Anderson Photo Company appear in a few Missouri institutions but the present album focusing on downtown Kansas City and emanating from early on in the studio's history would be a welcome addition to any institutional collection.

- Poirel, Paris s.d. (ca 1860), Cadre : 17x20cm / cliché : 9,5x12cm, une photographie encadrée. - Photographie originale en tirage d'époque sur papier albuminé représentant Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly dans une excentrique tenue constituée d'une limousine et d'une cape de roulier normand. L'écrivain a apposé sa signature, à l'encre rouge, en bas du cliché. Le portrait est consigné dans un charmant cadre, présentant hélas quelques accrocs et fissures, sous un passe-partout recouvert d'une tapisserie rose. Nous n'avons pu trouver que deux exemplaires de cette photographie?: l'une, non dédicacée, au Musée Gustave Moreau et l'autre, présentant un envoi, cataloguée lors de la vente de la bibliothèque de J. C. D, amateur normand en 2005. Rare et étonnant portrait de l'écrivain qui, en 1845 dans son essai Du dandysme, faisait l'éloge du raffinement vestimentaire?: «?Un Dandy peut mettre s'il veut dix heures à sa toilette, mais une fois faite, il l'oublie. Ce sont les autres qui doivent s'apercevoir qu'il est bien mis.?» [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ON DEMAND]
1877011232St. Louis: Published from 116 North Fourth Street 1877. First Edition. Hardcover. Front cover now detached and the spine largely lacking but the text block is tight and the book can be easily rebacked. Despite the defects Very Good and quite scarce. The first twelve issues of this scarce western photography monthly edited by J. H. Fitzgibbon one of America's finest daguerreotypists and well-known for his portraits of Native Americans. Bound in contemporary half morocco with the original front and rear wrappers for all issues as well as the ads bound in. Illustrated with 10 original photographs mostly mounted albumens including a portrait of Fitzgibbon by Bogardus an Adirondacks landscape by Stoddard and various posed studies. One image the Great Steel Bridge of St. Louis is printed directly on the paper; another is a chromotype of the Chicago Apollo Musical Club by Gentile. There is no image with the sixth issue nor is one listed in the contents. The albertype by E. Bierstadt for the eleventh issue is lacking as is a ferrotype specimen holder in one of the ads. The articles are informative and instructional covering both news and many different technical aspects of photography at the time with much longing for a return to the daguerreotype and a number of articles on new processes such as the Lambertype. This copy is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the editor to T. S. Lambert in January of 1878 on the inside front cover. Theodore Sarony T. S. Lambert was no relation to the creator of the Lambertype Claude Lambert but he did team up with Claude to sell exclusive license for the Lambertype process. <br/><br/> Published from 116 North Fourth Street hardcover

1870161261Japan: no publisher c.1870. Photographic fantasy An engaging souvenir album indulging orientalist visions of Japan increasingly detached from the country's post-Meiji Restoration reality. 25 photographs show Japanese women in traditional kimono dresses and surroundings accompanied on the reverse by a corresponding number of images of bucolic buildings and rural scenes. Photography arrived in Japan approximately a decade after its invention and 20 years before the 1867 Meiji Restoration. The latter marked the beginning of a period of dramatic modernization and Westernization with foreign tourists flocking to the country. Souvenir photograph albums showing "traditional" Japanese culture and dress became popular keepsakes for these travellers. Albums of 25 50 or 100 photographs were often extremely expensive. Octavo concertina-style 125 x 180 mm. With 50 hand-coloured albumen photographs. Original blue silk brocade over wooden boards. Housed in recent brown cloth custom clamshell case. Silk worn bowing to leaves a couple of hinges repaired with archival tissue light tanning and spotting else bright. A very good example. hardcover
1918166765France: General Staff Intelligence General Headquarters. February 1918. Towards "total knowledge of the battlefield and total control" An impressive exposition of the rarified level reached by fixed-wing aerial reconnaissance and photo interpretation by the last year of the war. Third edition considerably expanded of the slight and fragile text pamphlet first published 1916 paired unusually with the impressive plate volume - both are decidedly uncommon. These were produced in France by Army Printing & Stationery Services and classified "For Official Use Only"; despite a stated print run of 4000 few copies of the pamphlet have survived. The first item contains concise but detailed notes on how to identify various battlefield structures and features - trenches and wire dugouts and mine shafts listening and observation posts batteries concrete structures and so forth - followed by a section on rear organizations - railways dumps billets and aerodromes - noting that from the "enemy's means of supply" and the study of aerial photographs more generally "often his intentions may be deduced". The pamphlet concludes with a brief section of technical notes on the uses of different types of photographs oblique stereoscopic stereoscopic oblique and how these may variously offer enhanced potential for interpreting detail. The substantial atlas contains an exceptionally fine range of high quality photos illustrative of the points made in the accompanying notes. Many of the views are accompanied by maps or sketches to clarify interpretation with locations often identified. Just ten years after the Wright Brothers' epoch-making 12-second flight at Kitty Hawk the aeroplane had become a gun platform duelling in the air and the instrument of accurate distant bombardment; and perhaps most influentially the ultimate mode of reconnaissance profoundly altering the nature of engagement. "At the outbreak of the First World War commanders like British Field-Marshal John French believed that no mechanical platform would ever replace cavalry as a means to conduct reconnaissance. Within months however the horse succumbed to industrial warfare as did traditional methods of cavalry generalship. In the place of cavalry arose the modern military intelligence bureaucracy that employed a Fordist system of photo interpretation in an attempt to achieve total knowledge of the battlefield and total control. The power of photo interpreters in the words of Paul Saint-Amour was 'not in the mere ability to command but in the more rarefied capacity of producing the knowledge that would inform the commanders'" Gettinger. Text foolscap folio. First named with double-folding plate of "Shadow Diagrams" at rear; plate vol. containing around 100 illustrations on 60 silver print photographic plates linen stub-bound on heavy card plate of mark-up symbols and a repeat of the folding plate from the text pamphlet. 11 pp Wire-stitched in light greenish blue printed wrappers: plate vol. folio 360 x 310 mm strong blue cloth-backed greyish-yellow paper-covered boards printed paper label to front board. Touch of foxing to wrappers of text pamphlet and just a little rust to staples top corners of plate volume lightly bumped. Both in very good condition.

1930CAT209New York and Environs 1930. Excellent. We find scant information on Henry Reister a professional photographer operating throughout the New York metropolitan region in the early part of the century. His studio moved several times from the Bronx to Bridgewater New Jersey then to Woodlawn New York. This interesting and varied collection from his estate shows the type of work available to a professional photographer operating in New York during the period - architectural shoots product photography events and some portraiture. The opulent wealth of New York's upper classes during the 1920s is on display in Reister's architectural work which makes up a large portion of this collection. The burgeoning commercial age is also shown in his product photographs most notably a series of photographs of Remington typewriters a series of photographs of the newly created New York Telephone Directory two photographs of automobiles and a series of brightly-lit interior grocery store displays.<br /> <br /> Contents as follows:<br /> <br /> Seven images advertising typewriters with five showing a young woman posed with a Remington typewriter; five images of the New York Telephone Directory; five images of brightly lit grocery store interiors most focusing on elaborate lighting on a dairy display; two images of automobiles one showing a man in fine dress posed alongside an automobile the other showing a close-up of a license plate; thirteen varied product images including proto-modernist images of radiators an image of the Cory Smoke Telegraph Indicator three floral still lives and an opulently presented bowl of ice cream; forty-six architectural photographs including a rather stark series of institutional interiors including lavatories extravagant gardens the interiors of a bank on Broadway and high end domestic interiors; six photographs of the Yorkville Social Center Baby Parade of 1916; seven portraits including one of a worker holding two bolts several military portraits and an outdoor portrait of a couple in a garden; Eight scenes from Reister's personal life most relating to an automobile trip made with his wife in 1930.<br /> <br /> Overall a strong representation of pre-Depression New York with many iconic aspects of the city and its environs represented. Despite his low profile Reister was a proficient professional photographer and the images remain quite attractive and in generally very good to fine condition with a few showing small tears at edges. unknown books
