If a country as a limitless as this can ever be said to have posed for its portrait certainly the photographer behind the camera was Ansel Adams." Due to the extreme weight of this book postage will have to be determined at time of ordering. "Ansel Easton Adams February 20 1902 April 22 1984 was an American photographer and environmentalist. His black and white landscape photographs of the American West especially Yosemite National Park have been widely reproduced on calendars posters books and the internet. Adams and Fred Archer developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs. He primarily used large-format cameras because their high resolution helped ensure sharpness in his images." . Little Brown & Co / A New York Graphic Society Book hardcover

1954232801954. English woman's photo album documenting a year of work and travel in Apartheid era South Africa and Southern Rhodesia in 1954-1955 during a time when white colonies were well established during the consolidation of apartheid. Compiled by an English woman attached to the Over-Seas League Torquay branch and employed for a year in physiotherapy the album moves from Union-Castle sea passage to Cape Town hotels mountain excursions resort and garden visits Rhodesian travel and repeated encounters with African people framed as "native" villages "war dances" and ethnographic spectacle. This album was assembled in the middle of the National Party's early apartheid decade after the Population Registration Act and Group Areas Act of 1950 the Bantu Authorities Act of 1951 the pass law consolidation of 1952 and the Bantu Education Act of 1953 had deepened racial classification territorial segregation labor control and state supervision of Black life while resistance accelerated through the 1952 Defiance Campaign and the 1955 Freedom Charter. <br /> Photo archive of approximately 225 silver gelatin photographs and real photo or printed postcards various sizes South Africa and Southern Rhodesia 1954-1955. Housed in a 12.5" x 9.5" album with black leaves most cornered in with extensive white manuscript captions throughout. The compiler's route is legible page by page: "Off to South Africa. July 1st 1954" beside ship and shipmates; "First Views of Cape Town" "My Hotel in Sea Point" and "Going up Table Mountain"; urban views of Cape Town civic buildings and streets; scenic excursions to Table Bay the Hottentots Holland mountains Ceres and Oudtshoorn; "Coon Carnival on New Years Day" using outdated racialized language with Black performers in racially exaggerated costume makeup; Bulawayo and Southern Rhodesia pages naming hospitals villages roads and grave sites; "Native War Dances" "Bantu villages" "On the road to Pretoria" and "Zulus! In the Valley of a Thousand Hills" where African subjects are repeatedly isolated as performers or spectacle. Other leaves record Groote Constantia Rhodes Memorial Groote Schuur the Malay Quarter and a "Malay Wedding" Kruger National Park Durban Royal Natal National Park sugar plantation scenes Victoria Falls including aerial views brochures menus ship material and invitation ephemera all arranged in a clear chronological travel sequence. Cape Town one of the album's main settings was already a segregated city by the 1940s and 1950s making the compiler's easy movement through hotels gardens roads and viewpoints part of the racial ordering that structured urban South Africa. <br /> The album plainly records colonial hierarchy as everyday practice rather than abstract policy. A white British woman could arrive by imperial shipping line enter professional placement through an elite exchange network rent rooms drive tour monuments to settler power such as Rhodes Memorial and traverse Cape Town Natal Pretoria Kruger and Rhodesia while African people appear in the album largely through the language of tribe village dance labor and spectacle. That contrast places the photographs inside the social order built by apartheid and older settler colonial rule. Light general wear to album scattered corner wear and handling to photographs and postcards some items loose captions clear and legible and photos mostly clean and clear. Overall very good condition. A substantial and thoroughly captioned record of British female travel inside the racial geography of apartheid era southern Africa. unknown
