1890215089Japan. Circa 1890s. 50 hand-tinted albumen prints 30 captioned with studio stock references mounted on thick gilt-edged card leaves19.5 x 25 cms in an album 27.5 x 35 cms; elaborately lacquered boards scuffed and chipped inlaid with mother of pearl with loss over quarter calf renewed bevelled edges gilt dentelles endpapers gilt-flecked some fading and spotting to the images and toning to the margins of the card leaves but a very good handsomely bound collection.<P> Beautiful studio album containing a collection of 50 hand coloured photos of Japan with a splendid lacquered and decorated cover. The photos were commercially produced images which were sold to foreign visitors who had the studio place photographs in an album of their choice. This album is unusually interesting because unlike many where photographs were more randomly placed the images have been selected and arranged geographically beginning in Tokyo and moving southwards: Nikko Yokohama Miyanoshita & Hakone Lake Mount Fuji Kyoto Osaka Kobe and Nagasaki. <br> <br>There are fine images and portraits of geisha including an uncaptioned image of geisha seated possibly by the Kamo River in Kyoto entertaining a male guest. A lute is placed on the rice mat together with a tray of beer. One of the geisha is looking straight to camera a striking composition. Another uncaptioned in the Kyoto group is likely to be in Arashiyama shows a sandalled figure on a mountain path overlooking the leisure boating below. <br>There are also images of pagoda fishing rice planting street vendors and markets. <br> <br>More than half the photographs appear to be from the studio of the Yokohama based photographer Tamamura Kozaburo c.1856-192 who at his height was described as "the best photographer in Yokohama". As Terry Bennett has attested Tamamura's business strategy of selling souvenir albums of views and costumes to foreigners became a "winning formula". see Terry Bennett "Early Japanese Images" Tuttle 1996 and "Photography in Japan 1853-1912" Tuttle 2006<P> <b>When referring to this item please quote stockid 215089</b> . hardcover

1900214646Kyoto. Late Meiji 1900. Nine mounted studio photographs the images with some fading and spotting but overall in good condition the mounts worn and toned a few with occasional spotting: <br>Three large ensemble groups of women 21 x 26.5 cms mounted on embossed card two with the Kyoto studio stamps of Kiyokuan and the other Kobayashi; <br>One young cadets 21.8 x 27.1 cms with a glassine wrapper annotated with the names of the students; <br>One older cadets 21.7 x 27.1 cms the mount with a stamped border; <br>Two wedding couple and larger family group 19.3 x 13.4 cms and 21 x 26.4 cms in covered window mounts with the stamps of R.

It is likely that they belonged to the family of a doctor named Tanaka Fusa who had a clinic in Nishio town in the Hazu district of Aichi Prefecture. The photos are accompanied by mid-20th century patient registration forms from Dr. Tanaka's clinic. <br> <br>Three of the photos show large group of women approximately 200 in total and were produced by the Kiyokuan Studio in Kyoto a studio established by Kobayashi Teisuke in 1900. They were most likely female high school students on their school excursion to Kyoto each adopting the same hair style Hisashigami style which was very fashionable among high school girls towards the end of the 19th century. Another family group photo bears the mark of well-known Meiji era Kyoto photographer Hori Masumi 1857-1911. Two later photos are of the wedding in the grounds of Kyoto's Heian Jingu of Ueki Ukichi and his bride Ujiko in May 1929. A Ueda Ukichi is listed as a law student at Kansai University in the early 1920s so this may be the same person. There is an early twentieth century photo of a group of schoolboys each carefully named on the covering tissue and a 1929 photo from a Nagoya studio of a group of dignitaries also individually named on the covering sheet.<P> <b>When referring to this item please quote stockid 214646</b> . unknown

19303711Fairmont West Virginia: Houston Studio 1930. First Edition. Very good. One albumen print photograph with thin black border about 10" x 8" backed onto linen. In very good condition with some creases nicks and very minor discoloration at the extremities but generally preserved. The photograph is somewhat mysterious depicting a group of fourteen young boys and girls another nine who are a few years older and two male adults. In front of the group are four briefcases. As best we can tell these are labeled "Miner's First Aid Cabinet" and the logo appears to be that of the Mine Safety Appliances Company. Perhaps these were young miners and first aid nurses in training or maybe it was a summer camp. Regardless a nicely sized image which captures youth life in coal country during the height of the coal boom in early 20th century America. Houston Studio unknown

1930I7D9LIPN5PS6London 1930. In a wooden frame ca. 53 x 64 cm under glass. Matt silver print ca. 28 x 36 cm watercolour pastel gouache and oil paint. Mounted on paper in a passe-partout. Signed "Lafayette" in pencil on the mount. Impressively coloured photographic portrait of the Saudi crown prince Saud 1902-1969 by the eminent London photographic studio Lafayette. Prince Saud the future King Saud of Saudi Arabia had been appointed crown prince in 1933 and fought in the 1934 war against Yemen. After the war his father encouraged him to travel abroad and over the next few years he visited Saudi-Arabia's neighbours Europe and the United States. While in London Prince Saud had his portrait taken by the Lafayette studio originally established in Dublin in 1880. It is no coincidence that Prince Saud chose a firm that had photographed numerous emperors kings sultans earls early movie stars etc. The firm would also provide hand coloured prints on request and the current photograph is an example of the very high quality they provided. The photograph of Prince Saud was coloured by painting over the photograph with watercolours and pastel. A subsequent treatment made it possible to use tiny drops of oil paint to highlight the gold trimming on his robe the jewels and pearls on his sword and the small lights in his eyes. In very good condition with only very minor craquelure. A colour portrait of the future King Saud of Arabia: a photograph enhanced by an expert painter from the leading British firm for the genre.l For Lafayette: Russell Harris Narrated in calm prose. unknown

1890307318Constantinople Istanbul: Probably Sébah and Joaillier 1890. Perhaps the most well-known image from the photographer Pascal Sébah or his son Jean a view outside a Turkish coffee shop of a group of men drinking coffee and smoking. <br /> <br /> At the center of the image is a seated man with a white beard holding a cup in one hand and the hose of a hookah in the other. A waiter holds a glass-bottomed hookah for him. More men sit on either side of the central figure. However it is a man on the far right of the image staring fiercely at the camera a pipe in his mouth that adds drama to the scene returning the gaze of the viewer. This man and the waiter who are in front of the main row of men also add a nice compositional element dividing the foreground from the background a second image taken on the same day—based on the foliage and the shape of the knot of rope on the cafe wall—lacks these two elements and it is much less successful from an artistic perspective.<br /> <br /> Adding further interest to the careful view are the ghostly faces of two men inside the cafe who look at the scene through dusty windows. This photograph both documents a part of everyday life for men in Turkey but the subjects return the naked stare of the camera and look across space and time at the viewer of the photograph. It's an image whose meaning is as much about looking as seeing.<br /> <br /> While this image is titled in the negative it is not signed by the photographer. However other prints of this image are signed Sébah and Joaillier. The placement of that signature not present on this print over the left foot of the staring man suggests this is an earlier printing of the photograph. The quality of the print argues against this being printed from a copy negative. Those facts could argue that this could be an image by the founder of the firm the Turk Pascal Sébah 1823–1886. However Pascal is primarily known for his studio work. His son Jean took over the business and added Polycarpe Joallier as a partner soon after. They are much better known for outdoor street views hence the attribution to Sébah and Joaillier. An image with excellent tonality measuring 10-1/4 by 8-1/8 inches on a 14 by 11-7/8 mount. There is a bit of staining to the lower corners of the mount and the mount is slightly concave but overall this is an exceptional print of one of finest images from the best-known Turkish photography studio of its time. [Probably Sébah and Joaillier] unknown
40640Circa 1913. Carbon print photograph 130 x 100 mm laid down on board mount with imprint of Monteath Melb. inscribed on mount 'To R.H. Croll with sincere regards John Shirlow. Octr. 1913' the carbon print in fine condition one tiny blemish at upper left edge the mount with some very light foxing scattered across the lower section. This studio portrait of the Melbourne etcher John Shirlow was presented by him to his close friend the literary figure R.H. Croll who would later contribute to two publications on the artist Etchings Sydney 1917 and Etched Work of John Shirlow Melbourne 1920. unknown
1900List3340United States and the Philippines: West’s Studio and others 1900. Eight photographs mounted on heavy cardstock measuring 5 ½ x 6 ¼ inches and smaller. Some with manuscript captions verso. Some with manuscript captions verso. Some staining and damage to mounts especially at corners; overall excellent. A collection of eight photographs from the Spanish-American War with seven of stateside training camp scenes and one portrait of an unknown soldier taken at Fort McKinley near Manila. Three are captioned verso identifying their locations as Camp Presidio San Francisco; Camp Powers Augusta Maine now Camp Keyes; and Savannah Georgia likely Camp Onward. The latter photo which depicts a Thanksgiving scene also mentions in its caption that “Robert Golding was in the Army in Savannah at that time.†Golding from Eastport Maine was in Company I of the 2nd Infantry Regiment; interviews with Golding about his life and experience in the war are available from the American Folklore Society. Note that the portrait does not appear to be of Golding. Besides Thanksgiving shots include several of soldiers posing in front of their tents one of a haircut at the Presidio and an excellent shot from Augusta of a soldier being tossed in the air on a makeshift trampoline. Of interest to historians of the Spanish-American War and US training camps from the time. West’s Studio and others unknown

68-0917Paris France: Studio Bernand ca. 1950. B&W Photograph 24 x 18 cm. Very Good. Provenance:From the archives of the celebrated bookstore and literary salon Herckenrath on Veldstraat in Ghent Gand Belgium. Founded by the writer Adolf Herckenrath 1879-1958 in 1909; continued by his son Walter Herckenrath 1907- 1989 and by Walter’s children Guy and Helga Herckenrath until around 2000….Poète dramaturge libraire et éditeur. Adolf Herckenrath est entré dans l' histoire en tant qu'ami d'enfance pour lequel Karel van de Woestijne a écrit son Laethemsche Brieven sur Lente 1901… À partir de novembre 1909 Herckenrath résida dans la Veldstraat où il conserva la librairie Adolf Hoste et une fois l'université devenue bilingue principalement consacré à la littérature francophone. Entre les deux guerres mondiales Herckenrath était toujours actif en tant que professeur et membre du conseil d'administration de l'académie de théâtre de Gand pour laquelle un magazine De Tooneelschool 1937-1940 avait également été fondé. Il aida à fonder Pan le cercle de la littérature flamande orientale en 1938… En 1935 Herckenrath s'installa dans la villa 't Kersouwken sur l'Eikeldreef à Sint-Martens-Latem. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale il y résidera officiellement pendant quelques mois de mai à novembre 1944. Il est ensuite retourné dans sa librairie de la Veldstraat où il vivrait au moins officiellement jusqu'à sa mort. Après la guerre sa librairie a été reconstruite par le célèbre architecte Geo Henderick. Grâce à la continuation de son fils Walter et de ses petits-enfants Guy et Helga le nom Herckenrath a également survécu jusqu'à la fermeture de l'entreprise à la mi-2000.
