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

189054541Constantinople: Sebah & Joaillier 1890. First edition. Hardcover. vg- to vg. Oblong small folio. 12 1/4 x 14 1/4". Red pebbled cloth boards with decorative gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the covers. Rebacked maroon leather spine. Gilt-stamped crescent moon and star motif the national emblem of Turkey on the back cover.<br /> <br /> Taken from the Galata Tower in what is now the Karaköy neighborhood of Istanbul this magnificent panorama displays the skyline and cityscape of Constantinople as it appeared sometime in the late 1880s or early 1890s. The panorama is comprised of 10 original albumen photographs mounted on heavy card stock and bound together in accordion style leporello measuring a total of more then 11 feet when completely unfolded. Shot in a southwardly direction the viewer can see Galata Karaköy in the foreground and from left to right across the Bosporus to the Uskudar district on the Asian side and then across the harbor at the mouth of the Golden Horn the Galata Bridge and across to the Pérama neighborhood and the Faith district where many famous landmarks of the city can be seen including the New Mosque Topkapi Palace Hagia Sophia and many others. Each panel measures about 13" wide and 12" tall.<br /> <br /> The photography is credited to "Sebah & Joaillier" one of the most prominent and prolific photography studios of Ottoman Empire during the second half of 19th century. Originally founded sometime around 1857 in Instanbul by Syrian-Armenian photographer Pascal Sebah 1823-1886 the studio was one of the earliest in the city and all of Ottoman Turkey. By the 1870s Sebah had become among the most prominent Ottoman photographers having also opened a branch of the studio in Cairo. Upon Sebah's death in 1888 the firm was taken over by his 16 year-old son Jean Pascal Sebah who then partnered with photographer Policarpe Joaillier 1848-1904. The firm was renamed "Sebah & Joaillier". Therefore although this panorama is undated it could not have been issued earlier than 1888; most likely sometime shortly thereafter circa 1890.<br /> <br /> Spine of of the portfolio has been professionally re-backed. Plates with minor to light foxing although the images are still quite clean and vibrant. Binding in very good images in very good- to very good condition overall. A slightly later version of the panorama from Sebah & Joaillier simply titled "Constantinople" is comprised of 12 slightly smaller panels instead of 10 and measures around the same size in total.<br /> <br /> Bibliographic refences: Jacobson Ken.

189620057Herisau Switzerland: Edwin Jucker 1896. Matted. A kooky Gay Nineties band of cross-dressers a la Suisse! Four of the eight member band are in comical drag in this large sepia-toned photograph taken place during Carnival when outrageous costumes partying and carousing are as much a tradition in the Teutonic world as they are in the Latin countries. The photo itself as visible in the window surrounded by matting is 17 by 22 cm. The photo is taped to the back of the matting and when we look behind the photo is on a thick card measuring about 18 by 23.5 cm. We haven't examined the photo removed from the matting but we would assume that there is a narrow margin and virtually all of the photo is visible. The matting included the dimensions are 27.5 by 35 cm. The band seems to be a more or less typical Tyrolean ensemble with a violin a double bass a trumpet a flute a clarinet we assume -- part of the instrument is hidden so we aren't 100 percent certain a bass drum and a trombone. The center figure in the photo is a man dressed like Uncle Sam with a top hat a long goatee etc. We think this was probably intentional -- the consciousness of America and American culture has become a thing in a Europe with the explosive growth of the American economy and the lure of emigration beckoning to so many at the time. Three of the cross-dressers are zaftig and they are dressed in fittingly matronly attire while the fourth mostly hidden behind his drum seems as if he might be a little more svelte and his attire looks more like that of a suffragette say. The men dressed as men are also in comical costume as well at least three of them. The thinner man holding a trumpet is in clothes that might be Tyrolean or might be from an earlier decade -- we can't tell from the photo that blurs his suit into just a dark undifferentiated shape. We also think it is possible but unlikely that one or more of the band members dressed as men might be a cross-dressing woman but we have no confidence that this is the case and it is probably unknowable. A close look at the faces of the band members suggests to us also that a few of them are closely related and probably siblings. Again probably unknowable for all intents and purposes. The backdrop of the photo is a paneled wall with four travel posters of Swiss resorts -- Rigi Lake Maggiore Ragaz-Wartenstein. We would think this was a photo studio backdrop. Again just a guess. Written on the photo is "Wartsaal III - Classe". This suggests that the band was participating in a contest. Herisau is in the Appenzell Canton of Switzerland or the Northeast of the country close to St. Gallen. The photo is foxed not terribly. The matting is also foxed and stained otherwise with three chips two of which are at corners. Although the matting might seem a candidate for replacement though we wouldn't since it is clearly original to the photo with its black impressed caption above and issued with the photo itself as a souvenir of the band and the event.

189030855London / Liverpool: Barraud Studio 1890. No stated edition. Mounted photograph. Very good. Image is ca. 7 x 10 inches on damaged cardboard mount ca. 10 x 14 inches. On the mat are printed Barraud's name and addresses plus "W & S Ltd" and "Permanent." Image has trivial wrinkles from mounting visible only under raking light. Else fine and clear. Erroneously identified on the back as Francis Frith the photographer of Middle East scenes. Large portrait of painter William Powell Frith as an older man. Herbert Rose Barraud 1845-1896 was a noted photographer of prominent Victorians and others with studios in London and Liverpool. Frith was famous for his large detailed paintings of Victorian life notably The Derby Day and The Railway Station. This image and mount are identical to a carbon print in the National Portrait Gallery ca. 1890. Woodburytype was Barraud's typical medium. I'm not expert enough to know which process is here. Shipping/handling will be extra; please keep this in mind when ordering. Barraud Studio unknown
1867054908Constantinople 1867. Hardcover. Very Good. Original b/w photograph by Pascal Sebah. 30x20 cm. In Ottoman script. Slightly chipped on corners and margins a stain on the descriptive text area. Otherwise a good photo. Original print photograph from 'Les costumes populaires de la Turquie en 1873 ouvrage publie sous le patronage de la Commission Imp. de l'Exposition Universelle de 1873 a Vienne'. Photograph depicts three Ottoman civilians of Rhodes Island in their local costumes; one is an outdoor dress of Muslim women living in Rhodes the second is a standard dress for Muslim men and the last one is a home dress of Muslim women. Pascal Sébah 1823-1886 was a photographer in Constantinople now Istanbul and Cairo who produced a prolific number of images of Egypt Turkey and Greece to serve the tourist trade and the founder of Sebah & Joaillier Photograph Studio. He established a valuable working relationship with Turkish painter Osman Hamdi Bey taking photographs as part of the artist's preparation and in which he experimented with light and shade. In turn Hamdi Bey selected Sébah to illustrate his text on the popular costumes worn by Turkish and other ethnic groups entitled Les Costumes Populaires de la Turquie en 1873: ouvrage publié sous le patronage de la Commission impériale ottomane pour l'Exposition universelle de Vienne and published in 1873. <br/> <br/> hardcover
