Twenty-six albumen stereoview photographs 1 coloured sized 5.75 x 3 in. mounted on assorted stereograph boards sized 7 x 3.5 in. many w/ captions faintly w/in negative at lower fore-edge some w/ photographer’s imprint lower fore-edge of board many w/ decorative borders some w/ ink or pencil MS on verso occasional dustsoiling minor edgewear just a couple slightly over-exposed otherwise a good collection from the library of Prof. Marvin Nathan. The Centennial Board of Commissioners awarded the sole license for photography at the exposition just prior to the exhibition to Edward L. Wilson editor of The Philadelphia Photographer who partnered with his good friend William Notman a Scottish-Canadian Photographer as well as Adams of New York and John Fraser. The views included here include the Agricultural Building; Board of Finance Buildings; Machinery Hall interior with the Corliss Engine operating ni the distance; Horticultural Hall along with the Main Entrance and the Exposition grounds. One of the most interesting of the series shows the vast Main Building pavilion under construction with drainage pipes strewn around in the fore-ground while the immense trusses and structural elements slowly march towards the viewer. Most of these images were originally shot by the Centennial Photographic Co. who had proved to be quite successful during the Centennial and the photographers were in great demand through and after the Exhibition which featured over 10 million visitors. Released in a slightly reduced format and licensed out to Underwood & Underwood later Keystone and many others these offered visitors a cut-rate viewing experience. Barker 1844-1894 gained renown originally working for one of Ontario Canada’s leading photographers and later became well-known for his majestic photos of Niagara Falls before a Feb. 1870 destroyed his photo studio although the 800 stereoview negatives were preserved. He later began traveling to shoot views around the United States and released Exposition related images. See: Centennial Photographic Co.

415522 June and 1 October 1935; both on House of Commons embossed letterheads and from 5 Carlton Gardens S.W.1. English politician 1881-1965 and architect much of whose work was done in the United States. Both letters two pages quarto. Both letters docketed the first heavily so bearing the Society's stamp and with pin and staple holes in top left-hand corner. Second letter good first lightly creased and grubby. Revealing documents relating to the Royal Society's 'British Art in Industry' exhibition held at the Royal Academy in 1935. The Society's website describes this as a 'resounding success' but as these letters show the matter was not so clear cut. Bossom is one of a number of the Society's members to have provided financial guarantees for the exhibition and to have been asked to pay £68 15s 0d as a result. LETTER ONE: '. How much did the exhibitors pay towards the abnormal expense in connection with this Exhibition and what profit did they make out of it in the way of sales etc . Of course hind-sight is always better than foresight but looking at the matter now doesn't it seem very obvious that the ones who were to gain by this situation were those who were getting their goods out for sale and certainly they should be the ones who guaranteed the amount of the exhibition and not private members of the Society of Arts to anything like the extent they have been called upon to do. It does seem an example of rather unfortunate management don't you think for we had nothing whatever to gain by the matter and they had everything; and I must admit that when I went round the exhibition I was very much impressed by the great expense that had been undertaken to equip and arrange special lighting etc. . Needless to say I thought such expense was being born sic by the exhibitors otherwise I must frankly say I should have called the attention of the Society to what appeared to me to be a very expensive way of handling the situation.' LETTER TWO: Blossom encloses a cheque but asks that the point he has raised be brought before the Society's council. '. it is an abnormal situation for a learned body to hold and finance an exhibition which in fact in certain respects becomes a show-room for various manufacturers and who on this accound make considerable profit and yet the learned Society - . - bears the expense of providing not only the rooms for exhibition purposes but also the expense of erecting special stands etc. . I was for many years the Chairman of the Foreign Exhibitions Committee of the Architectural League of New York . I find that where the manufacturers have their goods exhibited they have to bear the expense of the setting . where the manufacturers have their names displayed on their goods I cannot see any possible reason why they should not bear the expense involved in the physical arrangements for the exhibition. It obviously is the most valuable advertising and in addition has caused sales to be made and by no process of reasoning can it be diverted into being a strictly artistic exhibition - it did resolve itself into a commercial one. . I was while on the Council of the Royal Society of Arts exceedingly keen on such an . Exhibition . Purely as a matter of interest is there existing any precedent at all for the expense of such a commerical exhibition being borne by a strictly learned body' Both letters signed 'Alfred C Bossom'. 22 June and 1 October 1935; both on House of Commons embossed letterheads, and from 5, Carlton Gardens, S.W.1. unknown
1867List01217Boston Paris: J.P. Whitney 1867. First Edition Thus. . 8vo publisher’s green cloth 107 pp. Some tearing and fraying to boards particularly at head of spine text block excellent very good minus overall. Very Good. The scarce Paris Universal Exposition edition of J.P. Whitney’s early title on the silver mines of Colorado. Whitney a wealthy sportsman from Boston with investments in Colorado traveled as the sole commissioner from Colorado to the Paris Universal Exposition in an effort to entice foreign investment in the mining industry which was suffering from a poor reputation as the costs of extraction grew higher. Whitney had published this title in pamphlet form a year earlier. Whitney shipped his own collection of Colorado minerals to France where it was the most extensive of any of the North American regions to be displayed receiving a gold medal from Napoleon III. A new title on Colorado minerals Colorado in the United States of America: Schedule of Ores Contributed by Sundry Persons to the Paris Universal Exposition of 1867 With Some Information about the Region and its Resources. Whitney also brought with him copies of his pamphlet in a special hardcover edition which we offer here. This is the second example we find on the market. Whitney would gain great popularity in Colorado for his efforts which did much to improve its standing. J.P. Whitney unknown
