185643932Keokuk: J. B. Howell & Company Printers 1856. 1856. IOWA. First edition. 8vo. Original salmon-colored printed wrappers 11 pp. A rare promotional and description of a town that was never built in the Des Moines Valley in Iowa. To be located on the Des Moines River thirty miles above Keokuk Lawrence was meant to be to Keokuk "what Lowell and Lawrence of Massachusetts are to Boston and it is believed that the natural advantages are such as to relieve this design of even the appearance of extravagance." The text points out the need for manufacturing companies to take advantage of the growing population of the region as well as natural resources such as coal and other mineral deposits. The water power provided by the river would be harnessed by a proposed dam and lock system. The final page contains a description of the Lawrence Coal Company leading some to conclude they may have been behind the publication of this pamphlet. The town was apparently never built. Moffit located only the copy at the Library of Congress and the American Imprints Inventory for Iowa added only the Boston Public Library and Wisconsin Historical Society. OCLC adds Yale Grinnell College the Newberry Library and the DeGolyer Library. Americana Exchange lists a copy offered by Goodspeeds in 1966 and none before or since. Rare. An old water stain to the lower one third of the covers and each page else a very good copy of a rare document. J. B. Howell & Company, Printers, 1856. unknown

1900WRCAM55644N.p. most likely in Illinois or Indiana: Chicago Architectural Photographing Company 1900. Seventeen large-format black-and-white photographs backed on linen each 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches. Oblong quarto. Contemporary black textured cloth. Minor soiling and wear. Images a bit dust-soiled. Very good. An impactful and informative collection of photographs documenting the process of coal extraction from inside a shaft mine to the loading of the railway cars. The album includes exterior views of a few different mines with prominent headframes; the first image is titled "Mine No. 3" in the negative. This image also features an early model automobile from the 1930s at the latest. Five images capture the underground workings of the miners as they chisel away large blocks of coal from a wall in a pinched claustrophobic setting. One image shows a hallway with a wood plank floor and walls supported with corrugated metal. This is followed by six views of the ground-level processing area where the coal is dumped onto large conveyor belts that load it into railway cars. In one of the exterior views a Rock Island railway car is prominent loaded with coal likely on its way to Chicago. The last two images - close-up top-down views of rail cars overflowing with coal - are from the New York Central Railroad. <br> <br> Six of the images carry a photographer's stamp reading "Chicago Architectural Photographing Company" in the negative. The company was founded in 1885 to meet the demand for architectural photography in the bustling post-fire building boom in Chicago. Their prolific photographic services were employed by architectural legends such as Adler & Sullivan Frank Lloyd Wright and Burnham & Root. In addition to a vast array of buildings and construction projects the company photographed various mining companies in Illinois and Indiana though it seems to have been a small part of their business. A handful of institutional collections include scattered holdings of mining photographs taken by the company but nothing as comprehensive as the present album. <br> <br> An important album of coal mining photographs that capture the cramped working conditions inside the mine in a visceral manner along with a peak into the process of how past generations transported one of the most important energy sources of the time.
