19091557Various locations in the West 1909. Very good. Forty-seven leaves containing forty-one photographs 4 x 6 inches supplemented by postcards and a few newspaper clippings. Oblong octavo album. Original leather cover gilt black paper leaves. Spine perished but holding covers worn. Some leaves intentionally trimmed on fore edge. Two photos loose and laid in. Contents clean and fresh. An interesting album documenting a train trip to the Western United States taken by several businessmen from Chicago on a tour to study irrigation investments in Colorado Idaho and Wyoming. The album starts out with panels from the trip brochure pasted onto the first two leaves followed by newspaper clippings documenting the trip as well as a map of the train routes in the west and a sheet of stationery signed by all the members of the party. The trip was organized by Trowbridge & Niver a municipal bond company based in Chicago and one Denver newspaper headline notes "Half-Billion Dollars Represented in Party. Many are already backing projects here and are making trip to investigate." Each photograph is captioned with a typed label documenting stops along the route starting with Fort Morgan Colorado. There are several images of Eldorado Springs including the swimming pool and a large building whose roof says "Moving Pictures" which we presume to be an early movie theatre. There are many group shots of the "Buffalo Party" along the way all looking quite dapper in caps and touring coats out to spend their millions. One image shows the group on a tour by buggy captioned "Our party inspecting irrigated orchards at Palisade Colorado." There are three photographs of Salt Lake City followed by a series in Idaho which includes a charming photo of several women laughing captioned "Shoshone Indians at Pocatello Idaho." There is a series taken along the Snake River in Idaho and Oregon followed by several images taken in Boise. This cataloguer's favorite is a pair of photos taken at the local pool showing the men in their swimsuits: "Buffalonians in the Natatorium Boise." The final four photos depict the group at stops in Wyoming. Throughout the compiler has used postcards to set the scenery for the trip using the photographs to capture the group itself on tour. Altogether a wonderful album documenting a business trip yet assembled like a family vacation album or young woman's scrapbook. The format speaks to the novelty of such a trip even for businessmen in the early years of the 20th century. unknown books

1923903Yosemite 1923. Very good. 41 silver gelatin prints on 16 leaves. Black paper leaves string-tied. Captions in white ink. Closed tear to first leave minor wear else. A charming narrative album detailing a family holiday through Yosemite. Many of the photographs show sweeping scenery together with shots of the travelers themselves including two photos of the children perched on the back of Cakewalk the Donkey. Images are all captioned often providing elevation information. A final image shows two women seated at a folding table outside along with two young girls who appear to be twins and a sleeping man. The two girls are holding newspapers; one eats a sandwich and gazes at the camera. The family car is in the background. The caption reads "In Purussima Creek where the trip was planed sic and 'discussed'. June 3 1923." A lovely little souvenir album of an auto trip to Yosemite. unknown books
19181914San Antonio 1918. Very good. Albumen photograph 6 x 8 inches. Mounted to a brown card 10 x 12 inches. Light soiling and wear to image corners of mount rubbed. A wonderful photograph of a parade float featuring a model bi-plane and the slogan "For our boys at the Front." The image shows the lengthy float drawn by four horses their harnesses studded with American flags. Three men sit at the front of the wagon while perched behind them is a small bi-plane with a fourth man seated inside. American flags deck out the front and rear of the float and star-spangled paper or cloth covers the wagon wheels. The float stands on a gravel street in front of a row of several clapboard businesses and a wood plank sidewalk; there are also two telephone poles with wires. The signage on one of the buildings reads "Bell Machine Works: Dealer in Marine Supplys." We guess but have not confirmed that this might be in San Antonio where Camp Travis was an active military post. A splendid image particularly with the model plane. unknown books
19041259Various locations in South Dakota 1904. About very good. Twenty-seven silver gelatin photographs and six postcards on eighteen leaves; photos 4 x 5 inches. Small album. Original black cloth manuscript label on cover. Light wear and soiling. Some images lightly faded; most captioned in ink. Postcards a bit worn and soiled. A short but interesting album of photographs documenting life on the rural South Dakota prairie in 1904. A later caption reveals a bit of the backstory for the album: "Edward Merritt and ranch in S.D. when he and Rev. E.C. Smith had a week's vacation 1904. Carson's Ranch" and the first images in the album are of Carson's Ranch located about eight miles from Bradley South Dakota. Photos include shots of the house the family outbuildings and agricultural work. One photo shows two wagons back to back on an open prairie one of them stuck in a rut. Two mules stand patiently attached to the wagon in the foreground and the caption reads "Wagon with 80 bu wheat in the mire in the prairie on way from Carson's Ranch to Garden City S.D. Mr. Carson is in the wagon." During the week on holiday the author traveled around the northeaster corner of the state in the area between Aberdeen and Watertown. Named places include Waubay Bradley Garden City and Bristol. Several images show the parsonage at Montrose and we presume this is the home of the accompanying Rev. E.C. Smith as Montrose is near Sioux Falls farther south. Several images taken on the prairie show the group out in a buggy. In the first the buggy is slightly askew with horses disconnected and passengers standing around. The caption reads "Rev. L.L. Layne and wife & Edward Merritt after the accident crossing a bridge near Waubay S.D." The next photo shows the group laughing and eating pies "eating dinner on the prairie between Waubay and Enemy Swim Lake." The next two photos are blurry alas but both relate to local Native Americans. One shows a hole in the ground labeled "Dug out where 'Iron Star' Indian lived near Waubay S.D." and the second shows a cabin with a horse out front captioned: "Residence Indian ponies and canoe of Blue Dog Indian Enemy Swim Lake Sisseton Tribe Sioux Indians S.D." Though not an extensive album we nonetheless find it fascinating for its glimpse into life in rural South Dakota at the turn of the century. unknown books
18881964Sioux City Ia.: James H. Hamilton 1888. Very good. Twenty stereoviews on printed mounts one duplicative. Some light soiling and wear one card lightly creased affecting image. Some slight fading to several photos. A group of twenty stereocards depicting the Corn Palace of 1888 taken by James H. Hamilton the official photographer for the Corn Palace festival that year. The Corn Palace at Sioux City was the world's first founded in conjunction with a citywide harvest festival in the fall of 1887. The festival and the palace were such a success drawing nearly 140000 visitors to Sioux City that the founders decided to repeat their efforts for a further four years. Each year the Corn Palace was rebuilt from scratch the framed timber structure coated with grain from top to bottom. The Corn Palace of 1888 drew approximately 350000 people and advertised "toilet rooms and conveniences for ladies and gentlemen".<br/><br/>James H. Hamilton worked as a photographer in Sioux City from the mid-1860s through the 1890s. He photographed many notable figures and scenes in the region including the Corn Palace serving as the event's official photographer in 1888. He also worked in partnership at different points with photographers Franklin Hoyt and John Kodylek. The views present here primarily depict the interior of the Corn Palace showcasing its various rooms which include features such as fireplaces and gas lighting. James H. Hamilton unknown books
19321252Various locations in California 1932. Very good. 219 photographs on fifty leaves most 3 x 5 inches; plus six real photo postcards. Oblong octavo. Original black cloth string-tied. Light wear to covers. Images crisp and clear. Many images with typed captions. A wonderful photo album documenting road trips taken in the Eastern Sierra and western Nevada in the area in and around Owens Valley. The photographer and his friends explored numerous mines and mining towns in the region braving the desert in their car. The album winds from Owen's Lake to the National Soda Products Company and the Estelle Mine to the tiny town of Keeler where they celebrated Easter. They continue on to the mining camps of Panamint City and Ballarat both now ghost towns. There are photographs of the town of Lone Pine the Cerro Gordo Mine Darwin and in Nevada the towns of Lida and Goldfield. They take an extended trek through Big Pine California staying in Glacier Lodge Canyon and spend time in Onion Valley. There is also a lengthy series of photographs taken out at Lone Pine California documenting the Universal Pictures film "Oh Promise Me" with images of the actors and sets and crew. An altogether fascinating album documenting the region of the Eastern Sierra and Owens Valley. unknown books
1897WRCAM56506Various locations in Oregon California and Colorado 1897. Seventy-nine printing out paper photographic prints each image 6 x 8 inches on 9 1/2 x 11 1/4 inch medium weight sheets all but two captioned in the negative. Minor surface wear to a handful of prints several with minor emulsion chipping to edges some curling to prints. Overall very good or better condition. An extraordinary collection of large handsomely-produced photographic prints documenting the exploits of a group of travelers who set out by train through Oregon California and Colorado in 1897. The photographs which are skillfully composed and indicative of an experienced photographer picture a wide variety of both urban and rural settings along the Pacific Coast and in Colorado showing a mixture of horse-drawn and cable and street cars but nary an automobile and constitute a unique and evocative time capsule for numerous locations in the American West in the final few years of the 19th century. <br> <br> The first image features a large group of women and children posed outside a railroad car with the image captioned "The R&W 97 Transcontinental Party." In fact two of the images reference the party as "R&W" which likely refers to the company or family who participated in the railway excursion. The travelers were apparently well-to-do by their dress and by the variety of notable high-end hotels they visited. The selection of photographs here was likely hand-picked by one of the members of the excursion after the journey was completed. <br> <br> The preponderance of the images document locations in California. These include two different views of Mount Shasta scenes in Yosemite Park sites in Santa Cruz and several images each in and around San Francisco Santa Cruz and Los Angeles. The Yosemite Park pictures show members of the group taking a horse-drawn carriage through a redwood tree and other Yosemite landmarks are captioned "Yosemite from Inspiration Point" "Bridal Veil Falls" "Two Brothers of the Yosemite" "Trail to Glacier Pt." "A fallen Monarch of the Yosemite" the famous downed redwood tree and "Wawona Point." <br> <br> The San Francisco images include Stanford University two images a view of Stanford's Tomb in Menlo Park the driveway to the Crocker residence a striking image of downtown focused on the Spreckels Building the San Francisco City Hall building the "Courtyard of the Palace Hotel" Golden Gate Park a spectacular view across the ocean from Golden Gate Park the entrance to Sutro Park and the esplanade in Sutro Park. <br> <br> Images in Santa Cruz depict the residence of Major Frank McLaughlin known as the Golden Gate Villa an elevated view of the beach at Santa Cruz a scene of several travelers in a horse-drawn carriage captioned "Our four in hand on the cliff drive Santa Cruz Cal." and three striking views of the cliffs including two featuring the "Natural Bridge" Cliff at Santa Cruz. <br> <br> The Los Angeles area is well represented in the photographs which picture the downtown courthouse a downtown street scene showing the Van Nuys Hotel the year it opened a view down Spring Street West Lake Park East Side Park four images including the entrance an orange grove in Riverside picturing one of the travelers Magnolia Avenue in Riverside an "Orange grower's home" in Riverside a pair of horses pulling a streetcar labeled "Riverside & Arlington Ry." before the line was electrified in 1899 and an interesting street scene in downtown Riverside. <br> <br> Other sites in California comprise the Hotel Coronado four pictures including an unusual view of the "Drive to the Entrance" of the hotel Coronado Beach two views the "Ruins of Capistrano" the remnants of the mission church the train depot at Fresno a residence in San Jose the "View from Mt. Hamilton" near San Jose and the road to the hedge maze at the Hotel Del Monte in Monterey. <br> <br> The Colorado pictures include a breathtaking elevated view of a snowy Denver taken from the top of the capitol building. Other Colorado scenes include a view of New Castle from the train Glenwood Springs an image of horse-drawn carriages crossing a bridge over the river in Glenwood Springs and two images capturing the incline tram up the Royal Gorge near Canon City. The collection also includes a handful of images in Portland Oregon. These feature the Portland wharf three separate shots of the Portland Hotel the "Residence of Dr. McKenzie" and a horse- drawn carriage ride on City Park Drive. <br> <br> Eight of the more intriguing images in the collection were taken while aboard the traveling party's moving railroad car and picture the vast landscape of the American West in California Colorado and Nevada. The captions for these read "From Top of Mountain near Scisco" "We pass through Eagle Cañon" "Leaving Leadvill sic behind us" "Some Colorado Scenery" "On the Rio Grande Western" and "Princeton Harvard & Yale" a distant view of the three mountains named for those Ivy League schools in the "Collegiate Peaks" region of the Rocky Mountains. One image likely in Colorado but with location unidentified is captioned "Mountains rising thousands of feet all around." There are even a couple of images taken from the train while passing briefly through Nevada including one of the "Humboldt Desert." <br> <br> In addition to the aforementioned image picturing the women and children of the "R&W 97 Transcontinental Party" there are a handful of images focused on other various members. One is captioned "The R&W 97 Philharmonic Symposium" and features six men standing on a railroad handcar with musical instruments. The words and music to "Sweet Rosy O'Grady" have been written into the photographic negative at center along with a humorous musical quatrain at right referencing one of the traveling party. This latter bit reads "The Director General Russ Couldn't play with us with us He was not allowed to toot So he kept time with His Boot." Additional pictures of the group feature them dining inside an unnamed restaurant posed in front of a giant redwood near Santa Cruz and sitting on chairs in a semi-circle in Sutro Park. The latter photograph is captioned "The Russo Hershian Family will now perform." The collection is rounded out with a striking photograph of a woman in a white dress posing for the camera against a white wall which is captioned "Miss Lethbridge." <br> <br> Though the subjects of the traveling party in these pictures are ultimately unknown to us their journey is emblematic of an entire generation's fascination with the railroad and the American West. In addition these large and impressive prints which capture both the urban development of California Oregon and Colorado along with the majesty of the rural settings in these states document their travels in an unusually rich and deluxe format. <br> <br> A unique and rich collection of western photographs produced in the last few years of the 19th century. unknown books
1922669Various places 1922. Good plus. 181 original photographs most 3.5 x 3.5 inches some larger. Modern half morocco and marbled boards. Scattered manuscript captions. Some album leaves with tape repairs but photos generally fine. An absorbing photograph album containing over 180 original images that documents a family's travels in the West over a four year period after World War I. The group travelled to a disparate set of Western destinations during this time making their way across the county by train automobile and riverboat. In 1919 they travelled through the Northern Rockies making an obligatory stop in Denver but also halting at places such as Vananda Montana now a ghost town and Lake Pend Oreille in the Northern Idaho Panhandle. During 1920 the group was in Dalhart Texas and returned to Idaho to visit Lake Coeur D'Alene and to travel along the St. Joe River. Images from 1921 and 1922 center on travel around the Spokane area where the group appears to have been from including a series of images taken at Liberty Lake. A varied and interesting album of post-World War I western travels. unknown books
1938917Various Places including Mexico Wyoming Nevada Arizona and California 1938. Very good. 296 photographs in corner mounts on fifty-five leaves. Oblong quarto. Original cloth boards string tied. Cloth worn and frayed at edges. A few leaves loose. Photos generally crisp and neat; about half with manuscript captions on leaves. A travel album of nearly 300 original images of alluring and uncommonly high quality the preponderance of which chronicle a series of road trips made by a group of young men crossing the United States and Mexico by car in 1936 and 1937. The subjects were likely students at Worcester Polytechnical Institute. Approximately 250 of the images depict their trips across North America in the midst of the Depression with locations in the east including Mt. Katahdin in Maine; Washington D.C.; Lookout Mountain Tennessee; Lake Michigan; and Niagara Falls. In the West they drove through Texas and Mexico to Mexico City. They toured the Mexican capital and also stopped in Monterrey where they saw a bullfight. After re-crossing the border at Fort Stockton they traveled through New Mexico Arizona Nevada Wyoming and California with a series of photographs depicting their experiences in Yellowstone and Yosemite. Indeed many of the photos depict their stops in national parks across the West and demonstrate an interest in the major water engineering project being undertaken at that time. The remainder of the images show the aftermath of the 1938 hurricane on Bellows Falls Vermont likely the hometown of the album's compiler and scenes on the campus of WPI. An excellent visual account of Depression-era car travel. unknown books
1910156South Dakota 1910. Very good. Eighteen glass plates eight measuring 3 x 4 inches four colored and ten of them 4 x 5 inches. With photographs printed from the plates. No cracking minimal chipping at edges. Two small sets of images depicting life in South Dakota at the turn of the century. The first consists of ten images of settlers and scenes on the prairie. There are two plates of women with tents and covered wagons a nice image of a woman and several girls playing what appears to be Ring Around the Rosie an image which is captioned on the photographic print "steam driven water well drilling rig" an early airplane and some settlers outside a homestead. The second series would seem to be from Pine Ridge Indian Agency. These include two photographs which are clearly of Native American children one of them depicting boys with short hair and "civilized" clothes three plates which depict a rodeo in the area an image of someone in a feathered headdress near a teepee and plates of people with horses. unknown books
19001880Various locations including the Southwest California Mexico and Colorado 1900. Very good plus. Forty silver gelatin photographs on thirty-eight leaves. Images 3 x 4 inches all but three one per page and captioned. Oblong 12mo album. Original black cloth with black paper leaves. Internally clean most images with good definition and contrast.

In Colorado they visit Pueblo Cripple Creek Colorado Springs Denver the Cave of Winds and Garden of the Gods -- all the usual tourist stops. The images have good contrast and the compiler has carefully labeled each image in a neat hand elevating this above standard tourist albums. An excellent example of cross-country tourist travel at the turn of the century. unknown books
