H14608Hardcover. Very Good. 12 x 7 leather boards with two large screws to keep in together some riubbing and suffing to binding but very good and solid with about 175 photos of a family probably associated in the R. J. Maple company and family of Collinwood OH a neighborhood on the east side of Cleveland a little north of Cleveland Heights. No family members are identified but there is a photo of people in front of the R. J. Maple storefront and front what we can tell there was a plumbing company by that name in Collinwood. There are also two real photo postcards of the Lakeview School in Collingwood one of which shows it on fire: in 1908 this fire was one of the worst school disasters in American history killing over 160 students and teachers. A motif running through this is the love of three scruffy looking poodles one of which has mastered the art of sitting up on its hind legs and begging. Photos of these dogs represent a small but significant portion of the total number of snapshots. hardcover

H10359Very Good. Album measures 7.5 x 5.5 stiff paper covers dozens of snapshots mainly charting the growth of daughter Glenna Miriam Custis born in Finlay Ohio in 1913 from babyhood to tweener.

From there three shots show a ship's passage presumably across the Gulf of Alaska from Juneau to Kodiak as the remainder of the images 20 seem to be from Kodiak. There are several nice images of the Kodiak dock and harbor several of a rural road and house a view looking down at the town from a hillside and many shots of the beautiful Russian Orthodox church. unknown

8616119th century Japan - Album of 42 original tinted albumen photographs of Japan Alaska and Sir G. Baden-Powell and Sir G. Dawson seal expedition in 1891<br /> N.p.<br /> N.d. c. late 19th C 1891<br /> <br /> Oblong 14 x 18.5cm album disbound accordion style. Paper mache over wood boards with an intricate embossed design and gold and red pigment. Stiff card pages are bordered in pale blue with mounted tinted album photographs 10.8 x 14cm. Most are captioned in pencil in English in the margins of the card mounts. The leaves are disbound/unhinged. 25pp 42 photos. 8 of the 50 sides are blank with no photo mounted. There is no evidence of any photos having been removed.<br /> <br /> The posed Japanese photos appear to be from photography studios in Japan that catered to tourists. Among these studio portraits are photos of sumo wrestlers women with umbrellas in a rickshaw washing and applying makeup and posing as dancers. There are also picturesque views of Nagasaki. A photo of the bronze horse statue at Suwa Shrine è«è¨ªç¥žç¤¾ Suwa Jinja in Nagasaki mislabeled a ‘temple’ in the album does not have an enclosure around it dating it to between 1870 when it was first dedicated and 1913 as a corral was built around it during the Meiji period.<br /> <br /> Scenes of villages from the Aleutian Islands of Alaska are pictured as well as locations in Russia. Included are photos of people on a rustic main street in Petropavlovsk Russia the SSS Danube in Avacha Russia a seal rookery and a group photo that includes Sir George Smyth Baden-Powell 1847–1898 and scientist and explorer Sir George Dawson 1849– 1901.<br /> <br /> On June 23 1891 an article appeared in the NY Times stating that the two men were made British Commissioners in the Bering Sea seal question and an October 22 1891 article from the same newspaper announced the arrival of Baden-Powell and Dawson in Ottawa Canada after returning from the expedition to observe seal hunters dating the photos from late June to October of 1891. This expedition was important in gaining evidence that was used in arbitration that voted in favor of England against the U.S. As the expedition was an official one undertaken largely in secret it is possible that the photos of the area were taken by a member of that expedition likely a Westerner and skilled amateur or professional photographer. A full report of that expedition undertaken on the chartered steamer Danube also in the photos was accessed 1.2.23. https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/ptid=hvd.hwyprv&view=1up&seq=11<br /> The British Man-O’-War Porpoise which is included in the photographs is mentioned as accompanying the group.<br /> <br /> Photos overall are in good condition a few are slightly faded some with tissue guards interleaved. Chipping to edge of cover. An unusual combination of studio and candid photos with historic significance in stunning lacquer paper-mache covers. unknown
