The birds-eye depicts the Guild’s Lake area of the grounds up and operating now bounded by Reed to Thurston Streets and 31st to 24th Streets in NW Portland. Prof. Willson fl. 1904-1920 began as a dance instructor with the Academy of Dancing located in the Hirsch Building but within a few years of the Exposition set up his own dance studio and was noted instructor of Waltzes. This card advertises the fact that couples could dance for .50¢ while an “Extra Lady†for .25¢ and even better for men in the very hot and humid Portland Pavilion they could dance without their coats in Shirt Waists. Caughey 1851-1925 was an Ohio Civil War veteran an itinerant chalk plate artist and had just created the year before in Feb. 1904 a Birds-Eye view reproduced over two pages in the Lewis and Clark Journal with noted birds-eye artist and cartographer Fred Routledge 1871-1936.

1919409567Arizona 1919. Softcover. Near Fine. Oblong quarto. Measuring 11¾" x 7". String-tied flexible full leather wallet-style album with snaps. Containing 260 black and white gelatin silver photographs inserted into corner mounts nearly all captioned in white album ink. Most photos measure between 3"x 3" and 3" x 5" with about 15 smaller images. Album very good minus with moderate wear losses to back strip and large tears to the foldover; internally fine with one photo lacking and a few with minor fading. <br /> <br /> A splendid collection of photos put together by a young man using a print process that created razor sharp images. A large portion of the photos were taken in and around Winslow Arizona but there are several photos of other trips in the West: California New Mexico and Colorado as well as a few of trips to New York and New Jersey.<br /> <br /> In addition to Winslow other locations from the early days of Arizona statehood are shown including Sunshine the Blue Ridge Reservoir Flagstaff Horseshoe Bend and various other small towns. Pictures include a lumber mill numerous mines a Native American School frolicking at the swimming hole a Navajo Trading post and every variety of majestic scenery. There are snow scenes desolate railway stations even a British tank loaded on a train car. 13 wonderful photos are devoted to a Liberty Loan parade. There are plenty that show ranch life including time spent on the Quayle Ranch with several images of Charles Quayle who was shot and killed by a forest ranger a couple of years after the photos were taken.<br /> <br /> Of the Arizona images a fair amount depict posed family and friends. These rarely interest us but many in this album combine regional clothing with the spirit of the first descendants of pioneers in a way that seems curiously prescient of images that would emerge from the Dust Bowl a decade and a half later.<br /> <br /> Among the small complement of Southern California images are a couple of stellar shots of downtown Los Angeles and the Long Beach Pier. The East Coast images set in New Jersey include several views of New Brunswick and ice skating in Milltown. The New York images include several of large ships on the Hudson River.<br /> <br /> An arrestingly composed album with an unusual number of exceptionally nice photos created by a talented amateur photographer. unknown
