190976832Death Valley: N.p. 1909. Twenty-seven noncommercial stereoviews 7 x 3 1/2 inches. The photographs are very sharp and mounted onto plain gray mounts. Overall excellent condition.We can find no other history of a stereoscopic documentation of a gold prospecting expedition in Death Valley nor anywhere else in California for that matter. Almost all of the cards are dated and they bear the same date of January 1909 which leads one to think that they packed it up after a month. The ostensible first view is the exception; it is dated Dec. 1908 and shows a couple of the party standing next to two of Smith's huge borax wagons in Ludlow California. Ludlow was the southern railhead for the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad operated by the Pacific Coast Borax Company and bringing borax and other mining products from Death Valley and Beatty Nevada to long distance Santa Fe Railway lines. The mere fact that one of the exploring party carried a stereoscopic camera is in itself remarkable as a decent such camera is 1909 cost between $50 and $75 dollars or between $2000 and $2500 in today's dollars. Death Valley prospector's were not known for their wealth and a burro was their usual big ticket item.The majority of the cards have annotations on the verso. From those we learn some of the party's names "Emmit" "Dickie"etc. but no last names and the names of the places in the Valley where they prospected. Their main site seems to have been Gold Basin in the Funeral Mountains of the eastern part of Death Valley. There is no record of a Gold Basin in the literature of Death Valley. Place names in Death Valley were still fluid at this point and the name was likely made up at the time. Probably it become what is now called Golden Canyon. We do know that they were solely active in the Funeral Mountains and this was likely due to the fact that the most successful strikes in Death Valley were also in the Funeral Mountains. The famous Keane Wonder Mine was still very active in January of 1909 and some $600000 in gold and silver were mined before it began to fizzle in 1911. Some of the other places named and shown in the stereos are South Mountain. Gold Mountain Rhode's Wash Scott's Canyon and Scott's Cave Death Valley Narrows Saddle Horseshoe Ridge and others. Again none of the names given by this party survived. Member's of the prospecting party are shown in 16 of the views and it seems to have consisted of six members. One interesting view is captioned "Prospector's Camp and Forge Bill Keys of Death Valley." At age 15 Keys left home to work as a ranch hand smelter worker and miner honing skills that would define his later years. His early adventures took him to Arizona where he served as a deputy sheriff in Mohave County and to Death Valley where he befriended the colorful prospector Walter “Death Valley Scotty†Scott. The year after this photo was taken Keys took a job as custodian and assayer at the Desert Queen Mine in what is now Joshua Tree National Park. He soon took ownership of the land and it became the famous Desert Queen Ranch.Why these views were taken remains something of a mystery. It is more than likely especially when keeping in mind the outrageous cost of a stereoscopic camera in 1909 they they were to be used as an advertising ploy to lure investors into investing in mining Death Valley. The two most famous and best producing gold mines in the history of Death Valley Skidoo and the Keane Wonder Mine were both at their height in 1909 and western Nevada with its mining booms in places like Goldfield Tonopah Rhyolite Bullfrog etc. was also in full-swing. We can be thankful that the anonymous photographer was very skilled; the images are very sharp and he often conveyed the desolation and grandeur in a way not seen before. In recent times taking a trip to Death Valley is considered just another fun road trip but in 1909 is was a perilous endeavor not to be undertaken lightly. N.p. unknown

192320150AB1923. Paris Mornay 1923. 21 : 16 cm. 3 loeaves 444 pages 3 leaves with many original woodcuts by S. Sauvage. Half calf binding with red and gold ornamental lines gilt title on spine top edge gilt decorated end-papers. signed Marot Roode. The famous novel by D'Annunmzio illustrated with sensitive woodcuts by Sylvian Sauvage 1888-1948. - In a signed art deco-binding by Marot-Roode. - The story is set in the Abruzzo region the birthplace of the author. The noble aesthete Giorgio Aurispa besotted with his unhappily-married lover Ippolita leaves Rome after witnessing a suicide. After a brief interlude with Ippolita in Albano Giorgio receives a telegram from his mother who lives in the small mountain village of Guardiagrele. Giorgio arrives in the beautiful city of stone and is fascinated by the sculptures; however he is equally haunted by popular superstitions and the memories of the suicide of his uncle Demetrio whom he had loved as a father. Worse Giorgio discovers that his actual father has squandered the family fortune forcing his mother and siblings to live in poverty while he carries on with a prostitute. Giorgio curses his father abandoning his family and runs to the sea buying a house on a hill in San Vito Chietino. Ippolita joins him and the two pursue a summer of decadent languor marred only by Giorgio's developing paranoia towards her. Giorgio is additionally obsessed with death and matters only become worse after the pair undertake a pilgrimage to the shrine of Casalbordino where the multitude of desperate supplicants begging cures of the statue of the Madonna drives them away in horror. While Giorgio becomes more and more unmoored and desperate to leave both Abruzzo and what he perceives as Ippolita's unwholesome influence she remains amused and fascinated by their surroundings. Finally Giorgio decides that his only recourse is to carry her over a seaside cliff killing the both of them. unknown
