From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> Ames Manufacturing Company was a manufacturer of swords tools and cutlery in Chicopee Massachusetts as well as an iron and bronze foundry. They were a major provider of side arms swords light artillery and heavy ordnance for the Union in the American Civil War. They also cast a number of bronze statues which can be found throughout New England.<br /> <br /> Upon the secession of the South and the formation of the Confederate States of America the Union lost access to its southern arsenals. Therefore independent arms manufacturers were crucial to the success of the Union army.2 Ames was one of the Union's most important manufacturers of side arms swords and light artillery and the third largest producer of heavy ordnance.2. n.p. unknown

1875145831875. Set of two original albumen prints depicting armed Arab and Bedouin camel riders published circa 1875 represents late nineteenth-century photographic engagement with tribal identity martial imagery and desert life in the Arab world. Produced during a period when European photographers and publishers circulated ethnographic and Orientalist imagery to Western audiences these photographs document the visual construction of the "Arab warrior" as both cultural type and romanticized emblem of desert autonomy. The images support research in Middle Eastern social history the history of photography colonial-era ethnographic representation and the visual politics of identity in the Ottoman and North African regions during the late nineteenth century.<br /> <br /> Albumen prints. Circa 1875. Each image approximately 8.25 x 11 inches. The first photograph shows an Arab warrior mounted astride a camel spear poised in throwing position with a sword secured to the saddle at the animal's flank. The rider and camel stand centered on a road lined with palm trees and vegetation suggesting an oasis or cultivated approach to settlement. The second photograph portrays a Bedouin figure traditionally dressed in a thobe and kufiyya standing beside his camel against an open desert landscape. The camel is saddled with the warrior's sword visible along its side and a solitary fort tower appears in the background evoking regional defensive architecture and territorial presence. Both compositions emphasize weaponry dress and mounted mobility as markers of status and identity.<br /> <br /> Such images circulated widely in European albums and travel publications shaping Western perceptions of Arab society through a lens that combined documentary detail with staged ethnographic typology. The prominence of spear and sword underscores continuity of martial symbolism at a time when imperial powers were consolidating control across North Africa and the Middle East. The juxtaposition of oasis roadway and stark desert fortification highlights environmental and political dimensions of nineteenth-century life in the region. Light age-related toning consistent with albumen process; minor surface wear and edge handling; images retain strong contrast and clarity. Overall very good condition. A compelling pair of nineteenth-century photographs reflecting the intersection of photography ethnographic representation and constructions of Arab martial identity. unknown
