Photographs taken in Beira and Dondo in Mozambique and Angola Durban and Cape Town in South Africa and Accra in the Gold Coast record encounters shaped by European colonial infrastructures and tourist economies including images captioned "Typical Ricksha Boy" depicting South African rickshaw pullers in elaborate headdress and dress and scenes of women in Accra balancing baskets and trays of food. Additional captions such as "Sam and his 'girls'" showing uniformed workers marked "Sea View Hotel" and "me and my gals" portraying informal social contact provide direct evidence of how American maritime workers framed and recorded relationships with local communities.

Images span multiple global locations including Beira Dondo Durban Cape Town Accra Vera Cruz Mexico City the Panama Canal Powell River Vancouver Galveston New York and Boston. Several photographs depict shipboard life and crew activity aboard the S.S. Nemiskam Park with additional images of small craft landings including African men canoeing crew members ashore. A sequence of photographs taken in Boston shows the compiler in maritime work gear wearing thigh-high boot wraps rubber gloves and an oxygen mask captioned "At last -- working for a change." Nineteen photographs document Mexico including rancheros and rancheras in embroidered dress scenes of bullfighting and crew members wearing sombreros and sarapes.<br /> <br /> This album provides a concentrated record of interwar and wartime-era maritime circulation linking North American labor to colonial and postcolonial port environments offering primary visual evidence of how working-class American travelers documented race labor and leisure across imperial geographies. The inclusion of commercial signage hotel uniforms and transport labor such as rickshaw pulling situates the photographs within local economies shaped by tourism and global trade while the Panama Canal images anchor the album within a critical artery of twentieth-century shipping and U.S. strategic infrastructure.

1942CA0253xiii288errata pages with plates figures maps 2 folding and index. Small folio 11 3/4" x8" bound in original wrappers. First edition.<br /><br />Pátzcuaro is a large town and municipality located in the state of Michoacán. The town was founded sometime in the 1320s at first becoming the capital of the Tarascan state and later its ceremonial center. After the Spanish took over Vasco de Quiroga worked to make Pátzcuaro the capital of the New Spain province of Michoacán but after his death the capital would be moved to nearby Valladolid today Morelia. Pátzcuaro has retained its colonial and indigenous character since then and has been named both a "Pueblo Mágico" and one of the 100 Historic World Treasure Cities by the United Nations. In 1538 the Spanish established their settlement in Pátzcuaro founding the Diocese of Michoacán with Vasco de Quiroga as first bishop. Pátzcuaro was made the capital of the new Spanish province. The 1540s saw a repopulation of the area with Bishop Vasco de Quiroga convincing many of the Indians to return and brought in a number of Spanish families. For this Vasco de Quiroga is considered to be the founder of modern Pátzcuaro. He renamed the city as the City of Michoacán which was confirmed by royal decree in 1553 with Pátzcuaro receiving its current coat of arms. The cathedral was constructed over the temple dedicated to the goddess Cueráppari. Vasco de Quiroga wanted to build an ambitious cathedral here with five naves but this was declared unacceptable by the Spanish crown and only one of the naves was built. It remains to this day. Pátzcuaro remained the largest city in the Spanish province until about ten years after Vasco de Quiroga's death. <br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Edge wear with some chips spine ends chipped front hinge beginning corners bumped else a good to very good copy.
