Archive of 19 letters on the Lumière's researches on color photography

337LUMIÈRE BROTHERS – COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHYArchive of 19 letters sent to the Lumière brothers and one offprint of their paper on colour photography. An exceptional set of 19 letters expressing the enthusiasm of the scientific community and photographic societies following the production of the first colour photographic prints by the Lumière brothers more than ten years before their invention of the autochrome 1903-1904.Louis Lumière achieved this exceptional result by improving Gabriel Lippmann's process which was based on "an interference method that enabled him to record the solar spectrum in its natural colours". Alphonse Berget one of Lippmann's students published a report on his discovery in 1891." Louis Lumière at the head of a flourishing photographic products company mastered every aspect from formulation to the industrial production of plates that could be used to make interferential colour photographs. As soon as Lippmann's invention was announced a correspondence was established between Gabriel Lippmann and Louis Lumière and after a year of fine-tuning Louis Lumière presented the Académie des Sciences with some surprising "Lippmannian" views : flowers oranges landscapes stained-glass windows a naturalised parrot flags etc. A plate depicting the solar spectrum was presented to the Société française de photographie. Any object with shimmering colours could be recorded on a plate as long as it was still : the exposure time could be counted in hours ! . They were reduced to thirty minutes and then to a few minutes and the first portrait of a young girl in "natural colours" was taken in the summer of 1893. " translated from Bertrand Lavédrine Peindre avec la lumière. Entre art et science les prémices de la photographie couleurs au XIXe siècle Nov. 2015 Paris France.Post-1894 letters underline the Lumière brothers' efforts to promote their process. The printed pamphlet is the Lumière brothers' last publication on their trichromatic method superposition of three monochromes - red yellow and blue before their discovery of the autochrome.

Two photo books with forty-four photographs extremely well identified with detailed captions containing the geological characteristics of the wide variety of locations and with the numbers of Gilbert's negatives clearly listed. It could be that these images appeared or were intended to appear in USGS publications. The Geological Society of America GSA was founded in 1888. It is a global scientific society with members from academia government and industry in over one hundred countries. The aim of the GSA is to support the professional growth of geoscientists and encourage cooperative research among earth life planetary and social scientists foster public dialogue on geoscience issues and promote the geosciences in the service of humankind. James Furman Kemp 1859-1926 was mostly known for his work in igneous petrology and on the origin of ore deposits. He served as the President of the Geological Society of America in 1921. Charles Doolittle Walcott 1850-1927 was the third director of the U.S. Geological Survey the fourth Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and a contributor to the "Bulletin of the Geological Society of America." The lion's share of the photographs are reproduced from the negatives of U.S. explorer geographer and geologist Grove Karl Gilbert 1843-1918 whose life spanned an age of heroic geology and who was one of the founders of modern geomorphology the study of landforms. He helped launch the U.S. Geological Survey USGS and was its chief geologist under the famed explorer and second USGS director John Wesley Powell. In addition Gilbert was a founding member of the National Geographic Society as well as president twice of the Geological Society of America. Gilbert was first exposed to the American West when he participated in the Wheeler Survey one of the four great surveys of the American West headed by George Wheeler Clarence King Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden and Powell. Gilbert's monumental works were "Report on the Geology of the Henry Mountains" 1877 and "Lake Bonneville - Department of the Interior Monographs of the United States Geological Survey Volume 1" 1890. He is credited with naming ancient Lake Bonneville whose raised shorelines he used to demonstrate crustal isostasy.

Panorama de Constantinople Pris de la Tour de Calata sic Panorama of Constantinople Taken from the Galata Tower 10 ALBUMEN PHOTOGRAPHS

189054541Constantinople: Sebah & Joaillier 1890. First edition. Hardcover. vg- to vg. Oblong small folio. 12 1/4 x 14 1/4". Red pebbled cloth boards with decorative gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the covers. Rebacked maroon leather spine. Gilt-stamped crescent moon and star motif the national emblem of Turkey on the back cover. Taken from the Galata Tower in what is now the Karaköy neighborhood of Istanbul this magnificent panorama displays the skyline and cityscape of Constantinople as it appeared sometime in the late 1880s or early 1890s. The panorama is comprised of 10 original albumen photographs mounted on heavy card stock and bound together in accordion style leporello measuring a total of more then 11 feet when completely unfolded. Shot in a southwardly direction the viewer can see Galata Karaköy in the foreground and from left to right across the Bosporus to the Uskudar district on the Asian side and then across the harbor at the mouth of the Golden Horn the Galata Bridge and across to the Pérama neighborhood and the Faith district where many famous landmarks of the city can be seen including the New Mosque Topkapi Palace Hagia Sophia and many others. Each panel measures about 13" wide and 12" tall. The photography is credited to "Sebah & Joaillier" one of the most prominent and prolific photography studios of Ottoman Empire during the second half of 19th century. Originally founded sometime around 1857 in Instanbul by Syrian-Armenian photographer Pascal Sebah 1823-1886 the studio was one of the earliest in the city and all of Ottoman Turkey. By the 1870s Sebah had become among the most prominent Ottoman photographers having also opened a branch of the studio in Cairo. Upon Sebah's death in 1888 the firm was taken over by his 16 year-old son Jean Pascal Sebah who then partnered with photographer Policarpe Joaillier 1848-1904. The firm was renamed "Sebah & Joaillier". Therefore although this panorama is undated it could not have been issued earlier than 1888; most likely sometime shortly thereafter circa 1890. Spine of of the portfolio has been professionally re-backed. Plates with minor to light foxing although the images are still quite clean and vibrant. Binding in very good images in very good- to very good condition overall. A slightly later version of the panorama from Sebah & Joaillier simply titled "Constantinople" is comprised of 12 slightly smaller panels instead of 10 and measures around the same size in total.

Dorsetshire Photographically illustrated. By J. Pouncy. The detail and touch of nature faithfully reproduced by a new process on stone by which views are rendered truthful artistic and durable

1857AQ32953London. Dorchester: Bland & Long. John Pouncy Photographic institution 1857. Four parts in two volumes. 90; 82pp. Lithographic title to Vol I. terminal advertisements and colophon leaves to each volume all included in preceding collation. With 79 photo-lithographic plates one of which double-page. Original publisher's limp cloth decorated in blind and titled in gilt; Vol II neatly recased in the original binding at an early date. Some rubbing tearing and a little marking to binding; loss to spines. Sporadic spotting to text and images occasional marginal tears including to endpapers and repairs only touching the image on two plates. Inscriptions to each front endpaper of 'Mrs Michel' of Whatcombe House featured in this volume and described as 'not distinguished by any remarkable feature' but as beautifully situated with 'adjacent grounds extensive and picturesque'. An unsophisticated copy of the most important study of Dorset country-houses from their golden age which was also the first - and only - major English book produced in photolithography and is as such a milestone in the history of permanent photographic reproduction. It was described by Gernsheim as 'not only the first but remained the only attempt in book form to reproduce photographic views from nature by photolithography' and by McLean as marking a 'transitional stage between drawing and unretouched photography'. As is explained by English photographic pioneer John Pouncy 1818-1894 in both the introduction and advertisements of this present volume the fading nature of early photography was the revolutionary illustrative median's greatest weakness: 'astonishing as is the effect and almost perfect as is the beauty of some of these works of art permanency is found wanting' or in short 'Photographs very generally fade'. Thus between the conception and completion of this photographic study of his beloved native Dorsetshire Pouncy called 'in the aid of another art that of Lithography; and thus without forfeiting the exactness which is the peculiar characteristic of the one to ensure the quality of durability which is unhappily wanting to it by means of the co-operation of the other' and so 'the views which were originally announced as Photographs will now appear as Photo-Lithographs'. As the reproduced excerpt from a contemporary Poole newspaper review highlights Pouncy's devised process involved transferring long-exposure 'photography to stone and then re-transfers it to paper'; a service that he also here advertises as available from his Dorchester studios. Non static-features were added in by hand giving a rather ghostly appearance. The process must necessarily have been both time-consuming and expensive and each part of this work published by subscription was advertised originally at the price of £1 1s or £5 5s for the planned whole the fifth and sixth of which were never published. Subscribers included the poet William Barnes and many of the owners of the houses featured in the book. Not pure photographs but not simply hand-drawn lithographs either his process produced images truly symbolic of the Victorian artistic compact between mechanisation and manual labour; no book could claim to more truly occupy the threshold between photographic and lithographic illustration. Gernsheim p.546. McLean Victorian Book Design and Colour Printing p.128. First edition. Oblong folio. Bland & Long. John Pouncy, Photographic institution hardcover

Substantial Photograph Album Featuring Forty-Four Large-Format Photographs Showing Street Views of Early-20th-Century Kansas City

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. 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.

Notes on The Interpretation of Aeroplane Photographs. S.S. 631. IA/42982; together with Illustrations to Accompany Notes on The Interpretation of Aeroplane Photographs. Series A. S.S. 631. A. IA/42982. A.

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.
