Comprised entirely of press reviews of the article and photograph published Nov. 27 1911 in the Transactions of the San Diego Society of Natural History v. 1 no. 3. The plate is a chromolithograph copy of the original photograph of the red snow made in natural color by Lumiere process by F.A. Carpenter on July 19 1911. Ford Carpenter of San Diego was a Sierra Club member and knew his way around the back country of Yosemite. The photograph was done on Lembert Dome Yosemite. This was the first autochrome photograph made of such a snow field. The red snow comes from an animalcule a plant organism that lives in the thawing snow and propagates rapidly. It was believed that Yosemite was the most southern locality on the Pacific coast of North America where this phenomena was observed. The caption on the tissue guard reads: "'Red snow' sphaerella nivallis on Lambert dome Tuolumne Meadows Yosemite July 19 1911. Photographed in colors from nature by Ford A. Carpenter U.S. Weather Bureau." The tissue guard is inscribed in pencil “Personal copy to Mr. Daniels with kind regards. Ford A. Carpenter.†There are several offprints of the original article listed in OCLC but only one copy of this printing of the reviews with the chromolithograph at the University of California Berkeley.

187216780Washington D.C.: January 1872. First edition. Modern blue paper wrappers with added modern endpapers. . 5 in. by 9in. . Some chipping to edges of leaves. Document tape at fore-edge of one leaf. A very good copy of a scarce women's suffrage item. The present report written by Republican Senator Matthew Hale Carpenter 1824 – 1881 responds to the memorial presented by numerous prominent suffragists including Susan B. Anthony Elizabeth Cady Stanton Isabella Beecher Hooker Elizabeth S. Bladen Olympia Brown and Josephine J. Griffing. The suffragists' memorial argued that the 1870 ratification of the 15th Amendment which granted voting rights to citizens of the United States regardless of "race color or previous condition of servitude" should also grant women the right to vote. Carpenter and the Senate denied that the 15th Amendment applies to women's suffrage and rejected the memorial.

Contemporary Spruce plywood post-binder covers same as wood used for spars and biplane bodies in World War I rounded corners piano hinge front joint gilt decorative lettering & logo on front cover minor scuffing shelfwear still VG exemplar. This outstanding souvenir album depicts the height of the vital Naval Aviation Training School which provided essential technical expertise and training to entire generations of Naval Aviators and Naval aviation mechanics and carpenters through World War I and beyond. Founded originally in 1904 when a board appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt selected two farms of north of Lake Bluff IL as a training station which originally covered 172 acres. By Armistice Day at the end of World War I the facility had expanded to 1200 acres and over 45000 men underwent training. Of particular interest in this album are the 36 panoramic photographs documenting Naval Aviator and Naval Aviation mechanic classes for the 15th Regiment and 1st Battalion 15th Regiment from 1919-1920 as well as class rooms machine shops for aviation mechanics and Naval instructors. Others encompass the cutaway model Aviation engines with instructional charts on the surrounding wals the carpenter’s shop with aviation machinery jigs on work benches and airline bodies under construction. One photo depicts the Motor Laboratory Steam Laboratory and Equipment from the USS Eagle 25 at the Aviation Mechanics’ School a US Navy patrol boat which had sunk in a storm in June 1920 and then been raised and sold off as a hulk by Dec. 1921. Other panoramic photos capture the Riggers’ School classroom at Great lakes with full scale biplanes and seaplanes scale model dirigible the Coppersmith School classroom the Fittings classroom with airplane propellers hanging from the walls dip baths for machined parts and nickel plate coating and several of the Naval Aviation School football baseball and other sporting teams including the largest panorama of the Inter-Training Station Baseball championship team from Great Lakes. Wallenstein 1861-1958 was a longtime Chicago photographer through the first four decades of the 20th Century who operated his studio out of his 3928 N. Kenneth home and specialized in panoramic photographs. Western Photo Studio in Waukegan IL appears to have been short-lived as the Waukegan IL directories from 1918-1921 do not list the business but possibly connected with the Western Union Telegraph offices as the address was interchangeable. Volpe 1885-1950 began working in New York originally as a bookbinder before enlisting as an aviation mechanic with the US Navy in 1910 assigned originally to the newly formed ground school in Pensacola and later became Chief Warrant Officer Pilot Airman and Instructor who oversaw the Naval Aviation Training School from 1918-1921. He was also the assistant Athletic officer for baseball and tennis at the base. Naval Aviation Training School, L. Blakemore, Isaack Wallenstein, & Western Photo Studio (Photographers), unknown
