Inspecting site of Lewis & Clark Exposition Portland Oregon July 18 1902. Large panoramic silver gelatin photograph showing the Exposition Board of Directors standing on the Railway lines on the Willamette Heights above Guild’s Lake with the view of Swan Island across the Willamette River in the distance.

181952180Portland OR: n.p. July 18 1902. One panoramic silver gelatin photograph printed on matte finish thick photographic stock sized 8 x 24 in. preserved in the original dark stained wood frame sized 10.25 x 26.5 in. with very faint title inscription in white ink below image in clear cursive hand very minor damage & loss to the very lower right corner of image still VG copy expertly cleaned with new archival backing. This exceedingly scarce original photograph records the site selection inspection by the Lewis & Clark Exposition Board of Directors July 18 1902 the day after the Site Subcommittee had recommended on July 17 1902 that the Board choose City Park for the Exposition site. In fact many different sites were proposed at the meeting including Henry Corbett’s preference for City park while the Ladd interests advocated for a site along Hawthorne Boulevard. Nonetheless the Board adjourned into executive session and as a result of a last minute proposal by Henry Dosch it decided that they would examine the Guild’s Lake site in detail as evidenced by this photograph showing the several board members standing upon the Electric Railway line tracks on the Willamette Heights next to the land proposed for development by the Scottish-American Investment Company. When the Board reconvened after an August hiatus the vote was 6-2 in favor of Guild’s Lake. Robert Livingstone who owned the Scottish-American Investment Company set about with his real estate development partners Russell & Blyth to build a group of Arts & Crafts homes designed by Emil Schacht in the Willamette Heights subdivision which would inspire Portland residential architecture in the decades following the Exposition. Peter Guild 1797-1870 led his family over the Oregon Trail in 1847 lost a herd of cattle to the Oregon Territorial militia during the Cayuse Indian War and eventually homesteaded on Guild’s Lake constructing a large octagon block house which proved to be a very popular Public House and later the site for the 1905 Lewis & Clark Exposition.

The Art-Treasures Examiner.

18573220484Small folio; pp. 4 vii i 3-300 4 'Index' with two chromolithographic frontispieces showing the exterior and interior of the exhibition building bound within the preliminaries; numerous wood-engraved illustrations throughout the text; a little browned and spotted in places; in the original publisher's red cloth ornamented and lettered in gilt blind-stamped fleurons in the corners; hinges repaired and overall a good copy.1857 was a turning-point in the history of art appreciation. The exhibition with its 16000 items on display made the public aware of the fabulous wealth of pictures by old masters and objects of art of every kind hidden away in English country houses and at the same time it opened up a new period of art-historical studies. The preface is at pains to extol the education value of the exhibition and to make known to the people of England the art-wealth of their own country and by inducing a greater familiarity with the beautiful to increase and extend its refining influence.gThe Art-Treasures Examinerg contains a series of articles probably under the editorship of the journalist William Blanchard Jerrold who contributed articles on various subjects. Other contributors included Henry Ottley on art criticism schools of painting and engraving; the poet Charles Swain contributing short plays on art; James Astbury Hammersley on watercolour art; George Jackson on photography; Charles Allen Duval on the spirituality of art; G.W. Anthony 'Peregrine Sketchly' on British landscapes and modern painting; a 'History of Caricature' by the radical Dr Robert Blakey and possibly as the most interesting contribution a series of fourteen autobiographical articles by Henry Merritt 1822–1877 the picture conservator and art critic who had risen from a very poor background: 'Where my shoes came from was never satisfactorily explained'.British landscape painters and the modern gallery by gBritish Art and Artistsg; a gHistory of Caricatureg by the radical Dr Robert Blakey gModern Galleryg by G.W.

[PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION -- PHOTOGRAPHS]. LYMAN, [Samuel] & MACKSON, [Isadore].Biblio.com

A very scarce set of original albumen souvenir photos shot at the 1901 Pan-American Worldâ€™s Fair in Buffalo New York. These â€œunofficialâ€ photos capture the Midway the US Government Building the Electric Tower the Fine Arts Building the Temple of Music and night shots of the Exposition lit with electric light.

190163092Buffalo NY & Chicago IL: Mackson; Lyman 1901. Archive of 46 original albumen photographs sized from 3 x 6 in. up to 4 x 6 in. all of the images smaller than 4 x 5 in. on albumen paper stock many w/ embossed photographerâ€™s stamps several w/ photographerâ€™s imprint w/in negative some w/ small rubber stamp at lower fore-edge of verso as well as pencil manuscript annotations identifying subject inventory nos. w/ in negatives of several a few w/ evidence of having been previously mounted a couple w/very slight dog-eared corners 1 w/ closed tear at lower fore-edge a couple w/ image evidencing poor process chemicals still an exceptional group of images. This set of photographs was created by two different Illinois & Missouri photographers at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo NY -- both of whom had lived and worked in Chicago at the beginning of the 1890â€™s offering reasonably priced â€œunofficialâ€ vernacular images of the 1893 Columbian Exposition Worldâ€™s Fair followed by the Pan-American Worldâ€™s Fair. The fair featured a range of acts and attractions featured at the Exposition which included Bostockâ€™s Trained Wild Animals â€œA Trip to the Moonâ€ â€œCleopatraâ€™s Templeâ€ Henry Roltairâ€™s illusionist show â€œHouse upside downâ€ and the Battle of Missionary Ridge Cyclorama. Many of the Exposition buildings including the prominent Electric Tower were covered in approximately 2 million 100 watt incandescent light bulbs producing an incredible display when turned on each night attracting millions of people who visited. This Exposition marked a defining moment in Buffalo history with the city becoming the focus of international architectural artistic technological and industrial attention at the Fair. It is sadly largely remembered as the scene of the tragic assassination of President McKinley. Vernacular souvenir photos are quite scarce and these have an unusual sharpness in light of the fact that like the 1893 Columbian all were prevented from bringing in tripods to shoot the Exposition. One of the photographs captures African natives from the Midwayâ€™s â€œAfrican Villageâ€ which incorporated Africans from the colonial empires of Great Britain Belgium Germany & France along with participants from Georgia who were â€œstagedâ€ in the â€œOld Plantationâ€ representing the enslavement of African-Americans in North America. Another Black History exhibit included was the â€œNegro Exhibitâ€ previously exhibited at the 1900 Lâ€™Exposition Universelle in Paris depicting the accomplishments of formerly enslaved people and languished at the far back of the Manufacturers and Liberal Arts Building. Samuel Lyman 1854-1939 was an intrepid tinkerer junk dealer and photographer who shot souvenir photos for his customers during the Columbian Exposition in 1893. Two of his sons Joseph Lyman 1887-1953 and Harry Lyman 1883-1940 became successful photographers in Kansas City MO during the Roaring 20â€™s. Mackson fl. 1885-1910 immigrated from Russia into Chicago in the 1880â€™s and operated a small photo studio there until about 1900 before relocating to Kansas City and St. Louis MO during the opening decade of the 20th Century operating photography studios in both cities.
