1921List3510California 1921. Photo album measuring 10 x 12 inches containing approximately 360 photographs. Photos are approximately 3 ½ x 4 ½ and smaller with very good to excellent contrast. Album with wear to covers and edges of pages; photos generally excellent to Near Fine. A photo album belonging to an unknown Southern California family; license plates date the album to about 1914 to 1921. Most of the photographs are of family life including farm work: piles of hay; cows pigs chickens turkeys and horse-drawn plows; gigantic watermelons; and family members posing outside vineyards and in cornfields. The family also documented their car and their recreational activities including swimming hiking and fishing picnics and carriage rides. It appears that they were quite proud of their car and were frequent “auto-campers.†They seem to have taken a trip to Mexico or the Southwest as some shots show wide desert landscapes Joshua trees and low Spanish colonial-era buildings.<br /> <br /> Identifiable subjects include the ferry boat Ramona; the Rose Parade in Pasadena showing Culver City Pasadena and Glendale floats; San Gorgonio Mountain Half Dome and the Wawona Tree a giant sequoia in Yosemite; and the Fairview Farm Club parade—a line of cars driving down a dirt road the first decorated with cornstalks—which is probably related to the ranching development located between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach.<br /> <br /> Someone in the family had an interest in hydroelectric power as many shots show ongoing or completed hydroelectric works projects in Southern California. Several show the Southern California Edison Big Creek plant. Located in the Sierra Nevada the Pacific Light & Power Corporation began the Big Creek project in 1910 to provide power to the growing metropolis of Los Angeles. The photographs in this album appear to include both exterior and interior shots. Another set of shots show a dam under construction; this may be Devil’s Gate Dam on the Arroyo Seco which was constructed in 1920.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of Southern California in the early twentieth century and some of its public works projects. unknown
1927233011927. Carquinez Bridge construction photo archive documenting the industrial development of the 1927 cantilever crossing at the Carquinez Strait a transportation project driven by California's rapid automobile growth and the mounting inadequacy of the Vallejo ferry connection between the Bay Area and Sacramento. By the early 1920s California vehicle registrations had risen sharply ferry traffic across the strait had become a bottleneck and the new span created the first direct highway link between San Francisco and Sacramento when it opened in May 1927. Positioned between the first major wave of California highway investment in the 1910s and the later Freeway Era the archive records bridge construction as an industrial process showing how steel members cranes temporary decking marine equipment and high-angle labor were organized into a permanent transportation crossing. With two main spans of 1100' each the Carquinez Bridge at the time of its completion was the fourth largest cantilever truss bridge in the world and the second largest in the United States<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 31 silver gelatin photographs plus 12 photographic negatives ranging from roughly 3 x 5 to 3.5 x 6 inches Carquinez Strait California circa 1927. Most of the prints focus on the bridge construction process. The 1927 Carquinez Bridge was the first major auto bridge in the San Francisco Bay Area designed to resist seismic forces with piers extending 135 feet below water and notes its role as the first direct highway link between Sacramento and San Francisco. Exterior views show the cantilever arms extending out over open water from tall steel towers with large truss sections still incomplete the suspended span not yet joined and the full geometry of the crossing legible at successive phases of erection. Several photographs are taken from elevated ground above shoreline houses and industrial buildings locating the bridge within a worked waterfront rather than an isolated engineering view. Others are made from water level where the steel rises directly from the strait and barges work boats and temporary supports register the marine logistics required to build in the channel. One close construction view looks straight down a temporary work deck lined with rails or timbers toward cranes and hoisting apparatus embedded inside the growing steel frame. Another shows a group of workers seated and standing on a riveted member before placement making the relationship between labor and material explicit without shifting the archive away from its central subject the structure under assembly. Additional prints show falsework approach grading industrial shoreline staging and spectator vantage points from which the nearly completed trusses were watched from land. Versos carry Velox paper marks oval WEBBS processing stamps dated March 14 1927 on several prints and manuscript or stamped inventory numbers. The 12 negatives are secondary material and include unrelated vernacular subjects by the same photographer among them floodwater truss bridges a rifle-range scene and a few domestic snapshots. <br /> <br /> The archive belongs to the period when California road building and bridge construction accelerated to meet automobile traffic that older ferry systems could no longer absorb. In these photographs infrastructure is not presented as a finished monument but as an active building process with the visual emphasis placed on staged steel erection temporary supports shoreline preparation marine access and workers operating within narrow elevated material-heavy conditions. Light curling minor creasing and scattered discoloration on few with verso stamps or notations; overall good condition. Archive of photographs showing a necessary piece of California transportation infrastructure being built with the labor system and material processes documented. unknown
1961234081961. Labor Organizing United Auto Workers strike and labor photographs documenting national contract disputes factory shutdowns collective bargaining and picket line action across the American auto industry during the 1960s and 1970s. The group records major UAW conflicts involving General Motors Ford and Chrysler including the 1961 General Motors bargaining deadline the 1967 Ford strike in Los Angeles and the 1973 Chrysler contract dispute led by Leonard Woodcock and Douglas Fraser. These conflicts grew from fights over wages speedup compulsory overtime pensions medical coverage retirement eligibility and plant safety inside the nation's largest manufacturing sector. By the early 1970s the UAW represented more than one million workers and could halt production across dozens of plants through coordinated bargaining local picketing convention mobilization and public demonstrations.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 8 Large silver gelatin press photographs one large panorama measuring approximately 8 x 14 inches and the remaining ranging from 8 x 8.5 to 8 x 10 inches primarily Detroit and Los Angeles 1961-1973. Workers paint strike placards inside a Local 15 UAW-CIO shop space with slogans including "Improve Working Conditions" "Free Paid Medical and Insurance" and "Stop Speed Up." Leonard Woodcock and Douglas Fraser march beside white-collar Chrysler employees carrying a sign reading "30 and Out No Age Limit." Ford workers gather beneath the "Ford Motor Co." sign at the Los Angeles assembly plant while signs reading "UAW on Strike for Justice" and "UAW Local 148" rise above the crowd. At Ford's Rouge plant hundreds of UAW members picket outside the entrance after a contract settlement while the attached caption notes that the plant employed roughly 33000 workers and that pickets remained after the "lonely guard" opened the gate. Factory interiors show chassis assembly lines rear axle installation and suspension components while a crowded convention hall displays banners reading "Get America Back to Work" and "Improve Working Conditions."<br /> <br /> The group demonstrates the UAW operations in the labor strife of the 60s and 70s: national officers negotiated with automakers local members prepared signs and walked gates convention delegates debated priorities and production workers controlled the pace of automobile output by withholding labor. Kennedy publicly intervened during the 1961 GM dispute to prevent a shutdown of the auto industry while the 1973 Chrysler negotiations centered on retirement working conditions and contract protections during a decade of inflation and labor unrest. Creasing edge wear scattered minor losses and occasional handling wear; captions editorial markings stamps and verso annotations retained throughout; images overall intact and clear.

This line-up continued into 1927 but Durant began running into capitalization problems and sold his Flint MI plant to GM and in 1927 sold his Long Island City plant to Ford and suspended the Durant Motor Car production in 1927 although the Star continued to be produced with over 70000 sold in 1927. Sales continued to drop in 1928-1929 and by 1932 ceased production and by 1932 Durant was wiped out by the Great Depression.
