1915901Portland 1915. Very good. Sixteen cyanotypes approximately 5 x 7 inches. Minor wear and toning at edges images generally sharp with nice contrast. Sixteen cyanotypes depicting the activities of the lumber industry in Oregon taken by an unidentified photographer. The images include scenes of the premises of the Oregon Planing Mill in Portland Globe Mills and a more rural lumber yard and timber camp in the Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Planing Mill was located at 224 2nd Street in Portland and was active in the 1910s and 1920s leading us to a date for the group of images. Two photographs are of the planing mill one showing the outside and the other the interior. Another set of images shows the exterior and interior works of the Globe Mill. Two images show tidy rows of houses which may be a logging camp or an early rural development. The remaining ten images are industrial in nature depicting large buildings and lumber yards full of cut timber planks. All the images have good contrast and are quite sharp with an eye for composition and detail. An interesting group of particularly fine cyanotypes. unknown books

1877293407Staunton Va: Julius Bien & Co. M. A. Miller 1877. Very Good binding. Dissected linen-backed map in color; 118 x 48 cm 43-1/4" x 18-3/4". Some marginal tears but very little loss.~~The Douthat Survey was produced in 1877 under order of the U.S. Circuit Court for the Western District of Va. by M. A. Miller C.E of Staunton. ~~The survey was made for Hon. Peter McLaren preparatory to purchasing valuable mineral lands for mining ore in that region. The extensive tract of land near Covington Virginia was bought by McLaren a Canadian; he acquired with that purchase leases to mines operated by the Alleghany Mining Company that shipped ore to the Low Moor Iron plants at Covington. Because McLaren was a non-resident the Commonwealth derived no tax revenues from the mining operation. Consternation ensued: "The great value of these properties is beyond question yet neither the owners or the lessees pay any income tax to the state" see Journal of the House of Delegates State of Virginia Session 1893-'94; House Doc.
