[FAIRHAVEN, WASHINGTON -- BIRDSEYE ALBUMEN PHOTO]. [WEBSTER, Leonard A & PIERCE, Wesley C (Photographers).]Biblio.com

View of Fairhaven. . . Original birdseye view with slag burning smoke stretching across downtown partially obscuring the famed Fairhaven Hotel once located at 12th Street and Harris Avenue with what appears to possibly be two real estate speculators in Victorian suits atop a giant stump in the foreground.

189064215Fairhaven WA: Webster & Pierce the Peoples Landscape and Portrait Photographers of the Pacific Coast ca. 1890. One oblong 4to. original albumen photograph sized 9.25 x 7.5 in. mounted on 11 x 9.5 beige studio board date in ink below image on recto photographer’s imprint on verso 2 different ink manuscript notes offsetting from removed black paper backing very minor tidemark at fore-edges still a VG sharp image with excellent contrast. An exceedingly scarce original albumen photographic birdseye photo of Fairhaven WA just a year after statehood. During the 1870s up through the mid-1880s Fairhaven actively competed with Seattle Bellingham and Sehome as the potential terminal of the Great Northern Railroad even after it was decided Seattle would take precedence. Fairhaven exploded within just a couple years from the competitive real estate railroad building boom in the Pacific Northwest prior to the 1893 bust which caused tremendous economic dislocation and real estate empires to dissolve. This image captures the fast developing hillsides soon after they were stripped of timber and scraggly treeline topping the ridge in the background. The smoke blowing across downtown appears to have drifted from the far right of the photograph obscuring the Fairhave Hotel designed by Longstaff & Black and completed by 1890 for Nelson Bennett and C.X. Larrabee. In 1903 the cities of Whatcom Sehome & Whatcom Fairhaven and Bellingham which shared a street grid and electric streetcar system merged through a general election to become the present day city. Webster & Pierce established their photographic partnership about 1889 and by 1892 had dissolved with very few records detailing their subsequent careers except for Wesley Pierce becoming owner and operator of Waldrip Oyster Co. in Seattle by 1899. No similar examples in institutional holdings. Webster & Pierce, the Peoples Landscape and Portrait Photographers of the Pacific Coast, unknown

Reports of Explorations and Surveys to Ascertain the Most Practicable and Economical Route for a Railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean Made under the Direction of the Secretary of War in 1853-4. Volume II John Wesley Powell's copy

18551677Washington: A.O.P. Nicholson Printer 1855. First edition. Hardcover. Good. John Wesley Powell's copy of Volume II of these 1853-54 reports with his stamp faintly in purple ink on the title page. A good only copy with dampstaining throughout but collectible in light of its owner who famously would go on to survey and provide his own report on the Grand Canyon. These 1853-54 reports were issued somewhat haphazardly in 12 volumes apparently as they were received rather than by region. Volume II contains the following: 1 "Report by Lieutenant E.G. Beckwith Third Artillery upon the Route near the Thirty-Eighth and Thirty-Ninth Parallels Explored by Captain J.W. Gunnison Corps of Topographical Engineers" Gunnison was killed on the journey; 2 "Report of Lieutenant E.G. Beckwith . . . upon the Route near the Forty-First Parallel"; 3 Report of a Reconnaissance from Puget Sound via South Pass to the Mississippi River by F.W. Lander Civil Engineer"; 4 "Report of Brevet Captain John Pope Corps Topographical Engineers upon the Portion of the Route near the Thirty-Second Parallel Lying between the Red River the Colorado and the Rio Grande"; 5 "Report of Lieutenant John G. Park Corps Topographical Engineers upon the Portion of the Route near the Thirty-Second Parallel Lying between the Rio Grande and Pimas Village on the Gila"; and 6 "Extract from Report of a Military Reconnaissance Made by Lieutenant Colonel W.H. Emory U.S. Army of the Portion of the Route near the Thirty-Second Parallel Lying between the Mouths of the San Pedro and Gila Rivers." Among several of the later reports are botanical sections by Asa Gray and John Torrey. These are replete with nice line-drawing botanical plates. In the first Beckwith report J.M. Stanley provides a series of beautiful vista illustrations in color of the Gunnison route. Near the rear are a fold out map and a fold out geological section depicting the stretch between the Colorado River "Red River and the Rio Grande. A contemporary binding of red cloth and quarter/corner leather with five raised bands and gilt lettering on spine. Red marbled endpapers. Again good only with dampstaining to all corners of the pages top and bottom see photos. The pages have some light waviness to them but turn fine and are readable the text itself mostly free of staining. Mottling on front board wrinkle on rear. Rubbing to board edges and nicks to spine corners as one might expect for a heavy book of this age. Despite its condition still a special copy--Powell's. The inclusion of the Colorado River in the fourth report in the volume would have ultimately been of special interest to him and one imagines the example of these reports would have influenced his own.

A spiritual classic that develops the theme of communion with God in this life in preparation for the next.Richard Baxter 1615-1697 "an eminent nonconformist divine. He was unlucky in his education by falling into the hands of ignorant schoolmasters; neither had he the advantage of academical study; but he had the use of an excellent library with which he endeavored to supply the deficiency. Received orders 1638; became minister at Kidderminster 1640. At the Restoration he was appointed one of the kings chaplains and was offered the bishopric of Hereford which he declined. Not being allowed to continue at Kidderminster he settled in London. Although he did not conform he attended the parish churches. His theological system has been called Baxterianism; it holds a middle way between Calvinism and Arminianism. He was a man of great piety zeal and simplicity with a moving and pathetical way of writing. His industry was great having published 168 distinct treatises and few have ever been to better purpose. Dr. Barrow affirmed that his practical writings were never mended and his controversial ones seldom confuted. According to Dr. Bates they contain a treasure of controversial casuistical positive and practical divinity." Darling."Baxter is my particular favorite: it is impossible to tell you how much I am charmed with the devotion good sense and pathos which is everywhere to be found in him." Doddridge. "He cultivated every subject he handled and if he had lived in the primitive time he had been one of the fathers of the church. It was enough for one age to produce such a person." Bishop Wilkins. "He must be very wise or very stupid to whom Baxter can import no instruction." Orme. "His books of practical divinity have been effectual for more numerous conversions of sinners to God than any printed in our time; and while the church remains on earth will be of continual efficacy to recover lost souls." Dr. Bates. Printed by John Jones...For the Methodist Book-Room hardcover
