190024106Chicago ca. 1900. Hardcover. 4to. Maroon cloth gilt-stamped boards scuffed and frayed at corners and spine ends. Binding a bit shaken but secure. Multiple photographs per page mounted recto and verso throughout with additional photos and ephemera laid in. Some rippling and small tears to photos/pages. About very good minus. <br/><br/>A copy of "Integral" the Illinois Institute of Technology yearbook for 1900 repurposed as a photo album and memorializing the domestic life of a close family group. Other scenes include a mixed-sex bathing party at the shore in the heavy Edwardian-styled swimming costumes of the day; two young men frolicking and lounging around a gazebo in the manner of an Edward Gorey illustration; two young women both dressed in men's heavy overalls and roughhousing or acting out a tableau; and portraits of new parents with their infant. A few mystifying poses most likely preserve some long-lost jokes while others capture many moments of physical affection in an era not known for easy emotional display in photographs. <br /> <br />Laid in are several newspaper clippings concerning members of the Ridenour family presumably pictured within; the latest dates from the 1920s though the vast majority of photographs all appear to date from the early 1900s with fashions not far ahead of those worn in those photos still visible from the yearbook itself. A small number of photos from ca. the 1910s show young men brandishing sledgehammers part of the "Red Path Chautaqua Crew" for the traveling-circuit tent show. <br /> <br />Note that one photograph towards the end of the album shows two men backs turned to the camera wearing white robes with pointed hoods; one is decorated with the crude logo of a skull and two crossed flags or axes. It is possible that these figures are wearing the costume of new Freemason initiates rather than the KKK robes they resemble the insignia resembles the Oddfellows skull-and-crossbones and the Klan was not universally identified with such costumes until 1915 and after. The identification is thus uncertain but the iconography is nevertheless highly disturbing to a modern eye; and with its placement following page after page of harmonious domestic scenes it serves as a reminder of the violent allegiances of some white Chicagoans in the period leading up to the city's anti-black riots of 1919. hardcover books

1860CAT01491860. A striking photograph featured on page 89 of David Deitcher's Dear Friends: Photographs of Men Together 1840-1918. "Romantic friendship between American men acquired a different kind of social prestige and meaning within the Civil War. No sooner did young recruits leave the shelter and ties of home and family than they were thrust into mutual dependence care and collective terror of being comrades in arms. Intimate ties were tacitly encouraged as a result of the soldier's need to steel himself for battle to prepare emotionally for the prospect of injury and death and for having to inflict such suffering to others." - Deitcher p. 87. A remarkable image of two young soldiers holding hands. It shows the vulnerability and intimacy described by Deitcher. Provenance: From the collection of gay rights activist and Washington D.C. Councilman Jim Graham. unknown books
