2014352677New Haven: Mercatorfonds 2014. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 224 pages. Like new in publisher's shrink-wrap. The flourishing of photography as a medium in the mid-19th century coincided with a rise in curiosity about China on the part of the Western world. As the number of foreigners living and traveling in China increased early photographs of China were taken by and for an international audience. Among the Celestials assembles 250 fascinating images of China in the second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th captured by the Western camera lens. The photographs portray the gritty side of the country as well as stunning views of palaces temples harbors and gardens. This juxtaposition of the sordid and the serene provides a multidimensional picture of China’s physical and social landscape before Mao Zedong’s ascent to power changed the country forever. The photographs many published here for the first time are both beautiful and moving and together offer a new understanding of a social and cultural history associated with a time of significant historical change.

198227888New York: The Viking Press 1982. Hardcover. Wide small 4to. Blue cloth pictorial dust jacket. 160pp. Numerous illustrations. Near fine/very good. Mild jacket edgewear. A tight and attractive first edition -- with a twist: from the library of noted Chicago photographer ARCHIE LIEBERMAN 1926-2008 of "Farm Boy" fame. Lieberman apparently reviewed Plowden's book -- or apparently was asked wrote a harsh review and declined to have it published "I really would not like to do a review. It would serve no purpose for me or for Plowden.". But present are various drafts of Lieberman's review -- some handwritten others typewritten -- and all uniformly critical. Needless to say it's most interesting and unusual to have a noted photog's copy of a colleague's book together with uncensored and possibly unpublished review of that same book.

107917The five men four in butcher's striped aprons and one woman are standing on the unsealed road in front of the shop next to a horse-drawn delivery cart sign-written with the name 'A. Mount'. The vintage gelatin silver photograph image size 107 × 152 mm is on the original blind-stamped mount of 'McNeills 184 Rundle St Adelaide' 207 × 246 mm. Pencilled on the verso is '1907 A. Mount Woodside'; although we have been unable to verify these details most places in the Adelaide Hills in the Edwardian era probably did look like this. However what is decidedly most rare about this scene is that one of the butchers is of Indian or Afghan descent. unknown
191875505Colorado: N.p. 1918. Original oblong quarto album 11 x 7 inches containing 88 corner-mounted photographs as well as a route map rules for driving the Pike's Peak Auto Highway two souvenir tickets for the highway and a few postcards and clippings. Photos are all mounted on the rectos with typed captions on the facing pages. Photo size ranges from 2.25" x 4" to 4.75" x 7.75" with 19 being the largest size. Six photos are nicely hand-colored. The front cover of the album is missing otherwise condition is very good. Ribbon-tied black roan with front cover absent. Not a single photo or caption has been lost to history and the album is very tidy.This album documents the Colorado travels of Mr. & Mrs. H.A. French and an unidentified female friend. Included are photos of Estes Park Cheyenne Canon the Garden of the Gods the Pike's Peak Auto Highway Rocky Mountain National Park Cripple Creek Royal Gorge Mt. Massive Mt. Elbert Berthoud Pass car camping lodges etc. The captions make this photo album. Most are declaratory but some are humorous or ironic. Driving at all in 1918 was an iffy proposition but driving in the Rockies at that time took real courage. Notice that a ticket was required just to be able to drive the road to Pike's Peak. One shot at Cripple Creek shows all of the passengers pushing the car. To do this kind of driving in the early 20th century mechanical skills were a must. There is a photograph of the photographer undoubtedly Mr. French standing on the side of the Pike's Peak road with his camera on a tripod. The various lodges and inns they stayed at were as follow the rest of the time they were car camping: Stanley Hotel Long's Peak Inn & the Buckhorn Lodge. The very last item in the album appears to be a magazine cut-out showing dozens of cars heading up a steep road and the caption reads "Like Flies Upon a String More Than 69000 Automobiles Climbed the Famous Lariat Trail on Lookout Mountain Last Season." In one photograph we can see Mr. French sitting on some rocks and wearing a fedora. That in combination with the stationery sticker The J. L. Hanson Co. Chicago makes for a good argument that the French's hailed from Chicago. N.p. unknown

This marvelous souvenir photo album composed of Ottoman-era albumen images captured not only recreated iconic religious scenes but also captured Jerusalemites in city streets and the Holy Land in the opening decades of the 20th Century. The album opens with the image of the “Street Scene inside Jaffa Gate†which captures Frederick Vester & Co.’s American Colony shop and photography studio in the right fore-ground of the image with bustling street and clock tower prominent in the center of the image. The American Colony produced created developed printed hand-coloured and sold thematic photographs stereoviews panoramic photos postcards custom hand-coloured glass lantern slides along with deluxe thematic souvenir albums such as this one. The series included here which incorporates a view of the room for the Last Supper and a nicely composed image of a beautifully terraced Garden of Gethsemane follows with the Stations of the Cross. The often incorporate residents in their daily lives watering donkeys pilgrims praying at Stations merchants and those wandering through the gates and winding streets of the ancient city. The photographers have captured the baroque & ornate Station Calvary the Church of the Holy Sepulchre a view of the Dome of the Rock and a teeming scene of women men and families seated and standing praying at the Wailing Wall. The American Colony emerged from the evangelical “End Times†beliefs inculcated by Horatio Spafford and Anna Larssen Spafford in 19th-Century Chicago who despite their profitable lectures the support & encouragement of Dwight Moody and at best questionable financial chicanery shipped out for the Holy Land in 1881 ahead of their creditors for $ 100000. Eventually the largely “celibate†commune controlled by “Messages from God†to Anna Spafford and through lectures and charity merged with Olof Larson’s “Doomsday†Larsonite believers along with Frederick Vester and a number of photographers began operating the American Colony store near the Jaffa gate and vastly expanding their tourist photographic operations. By 1910 they had several employees and the noted American Colony photographers such as Elijah Meyers and Lewis Larsson extended their talents across Palestine capturing not only the River Jordan but life in Bethlehem Bethany Syria Damascus and many other locations across the Ottoman Empire controlled areas. Although the American Colony projected a harmonious community bound together by simple Christian piety the sect was tightly controlled by Anna who not only restricted and monitored all correspondence by Colony members ordered shunning of those who ignored her dictates and maintained direct control over their finances. She also enforced marital celibacy until she “received a Message†that her daughter Bertha and Frederick Vester could marry in 1904.

19126An original gelatin silver photograph 110 × 90 mm mounted on stiff card 220 × 170 mm inscribed in white ink on the mount beneath the photograph 'With Christmas Greetings from Dr and Mrs Ramsay Smith' stamped on the rear 'Photo. by Dr. W. Ramsay Smith' and captioned in his hand 'At Port Vila - New Hebrides'. Ramsay Smith describes 'picture-making' at Port Vila in detail in his 1924 book 'In Southern Seas' and this image contains all the elements referred to: one's wife 'for comparison and relief to the various objects in the picture' the harbour as background to the wooded heights the ship in the distance . The corners of the mount are slightly rounded and both the image and the mount are a little foxed; overall it is an attractive item with more than the usual amount of background information. <p>William Ramsay Smith 1859-1937 physician naturalist anthropologist civil servant soldier - and controversy was often never far away see the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. His entry there states that 'Believing that tribal Aborigines were dying out he recorded their folklore in "Myths and Legends of the Australian Aborigines"' London 1930. Subsequent to this being published Dr Philip Jones has also recorded in the ADB that from the early 1920s David Unaipon 1872-1967 the Aboriginal preacher author and inventor 'studied Aboriginal mythology and compiled his versions of legends . Gathered before 1930 the legends are in his surviving manuscript in the Mitchell Library: they were commissioned and published by William Ramsay Smith without acknowledgment'. unknown
