21379Very good. Fifteen black and white photographs of which thirteen measure 4 7/8" x 3 ¾"; the other two measure 4" x 6". Four of the smaller size images have typed descriptions attached to them. Bernard R. Hubbard was a Jesuit priest explorer photographer and lecturer who did much to familiarize Americans with the beauty of the Alaska and the lives of the region's native peoples. Born in San Francisco in 1888 Hubbard studied at several West Coast colleges and universities before heading to Austria where he was ordained as a priest and also became enamored of the mountains. After seeing him head off on climbing expeditions in every spare moment his fellow theology students dubbed him "Der Gletscher Pfaffer" The Glacier Priest a sobriquet he would adopt proudly for the rest of his days. Though his "day job" was head of the Department of Geology at Santa Clara University for nearly 30 years Hubbard conducted annual summer expeditions to Alaska and the Arctic. He funded this work and also supported Catholic missions in Alaska by touring the country upon his return delivering lectures--illustrated with photographs and film he shot himself--to large and enthusiastic audiences. Although his expeditions had scientific and anthropologic goals scholars have generally pronounced them to be of little scientific consequence. Nonetheless Hubbard had charm showmanship and photographic talent on his side. According to historian Mary Jane Miller Screening Culture p. 115 "Hubbard became a household name after his experiences and photographs were published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1932. By 1937 he was the highest paid lecturer in the United States." The photos colelcted here show Father Hubbard posed with his ice axe examining pictographs hiking with companions over glaciers and snow-covered terrain posing with totem poles "found some distance back from the coast in south-east Alaska." Two images do not include people but are beautiful shots of an unidentified Alaskan glacier and icefield. unknown books
20563Modern three-ring binder containing 27 black and white 8" x 10" photographs showcasing high-end vehicles for rent from the Iowa Garage owned by former race car mechanic Eugene Lajunie of Pasadena. Each photo is accompanied by a typed caption giving the model number color some specifications and the price per day to rent with a driver. Vehicles include many touring cars and cabriolets made by Renault Packard and Daimler; a Sunbeam roadster town cars taxis a limousine army trucks a French truck mounted with an anti-aircraft gun and several remarkable "camera cars" made with front or rear-mounted platforms to hold movie cameras and their operators. Rental prices ranged from $35/day for a camera car to $75/day for the Sunbeam Roadster or a 1926 Renault cabriolet. Many of the cars are "posed" in front of beautiful homes on tree-lined Pasadena streets. These photographs would originally have been in a sales catalogue or album and there are remnants of the original pages on which they were mounted on the back of each one. Some have the original typed captions taped to the back others have recent copies of those captions. These photographs were acquired as a group from the granddaughter of Eugene Lajunie and we believe the family made the modern captions to replace damaged ones from the original album. The images themselves are all original and in very good condition. unknown books
