1946WRCAM54380N.p. 1946. 20pp. containing eighty black-and-white photographs each 7 1/4 x 9 inches. Oblong large folio. Contemporary blue cloth gilt. Minor edge wear corners worn. Photographs in excellent condition. Overall very good. A substantial and perhaps unique collection of large format photographs chronicling a 1946 hunting trip in British Columbia. The photographs are not captioned and no informational text is present. There are numerous striking landscape photos as well as many featuring a small group of men and women and their guides in camp on horseback and showing off their trophies which include rams bears fowl goats and a number of other animals. The guides or helpers who can be seen in several photographs appear to be Native American or of Native American descent. <br> <br> Usually albums of this nature are comprised of vernacular photographs taken by a member of the traveling party; however the composition of the photographs here and their unusually large size and clarity seem to indicate an experienced amateur or professional photographer. Also such an album would likely have been a unique production or one of a very small number of copies made for the members of the hunting trip. In any case it is a beautiful production capturing the majesty of the Canadian wilderness in the mid-20th century. hardcover books

176712978N.p. Colonial America 1767. 1 vols. 8-1/4 x 6-1/2 inches. Some stains old folds some cracking but all present and attractive overall. 1 vols. 8-1/4 x 6-1/2 inches. An Early American Manuscript Posting Announcement. An intriguing document written in various hands on fine laid paper on which appears to be a French watermark of an elaborate cartouche over the words "V. Guerevin". It is titled "Advertisement" and reads: "This is to Give notes to all Persons that we the subscribers do forworn all Persons from hunting with Gun or Dogs on our Lands / August ye 6th 1767" Below this are the signatures of 15 individuals four of whom unable to sign have made their mark on the document under their name. Among the legible names are those of Laurence Riley William Abbott Lener Thomas Dutten Richard Von Cade James Reed Edward Stevenson John Jouller John Abbott Dennis Morris Jacob Morris Mary Morris Woolma Donovan Foster Donovan.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Although there is no indication of where this document originated we believe it to have been in the American Colonies--possibly in view of the names in the area around New York. While the posting of individual property was and is commonplace it is highly unusual to find a group doing so collectively and this would most likely happen if each of the holdings was relatively small. The nature of the notice suggests that the properties were contiguous and were probably farmland. In the England of the day the number of small independent farmers owning contiguous property was not large--small farmers usually worked as tenants to a large landowner who typically enjoyed hunting and shooting over his estates. In addition it was far more common in America than in England for members of the same family to have land adjacent or in proximity to one another as may have been the case above with the Morrises and Donovans. Small farmers were the backbone of Colonial America and this document is a tribute to their spirit of enterprise and independence which was soon to come to fruition in another form.<br/><br/>A UNIQUE AND FASCINATING DOCUMENT AND A RARE ITEM OF COLONIAL AMERICANA. unknown books
