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
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
19331962Long Beach Ca 1933. Very good plus. Forty silver gelatin photographs. Twenty-six mounted on leaves with typed captions the remainder loose but captioned in negative. Images 3.5 x 5.75 inches and 3.5 x 4.5 inches. Images crisp and clean mounting leaves a bit rumpled with light wear. Small collection of images documenting the Long Beach Earthquake of May 10 1933. The images mounted to sheets are numbered and captioned in typescript with the heading "Earthquake Damage - Long Beach and Vicinity. March 14 1933". They provide a visual survey of the damage to major sites around Los Angeles and Compton such as the Masonic Temple the Dominguez Sub-station the Security First National Bank in Compton buildings along East Compton Boulevard and several of the local schools. The loose photos all show damage in Long Beach itself including the Seaside Hospital the Catholic Church the Imperial Theatre schools and an image captioned "Feeding refugees at Lincoln Park - Long Beach Cal."<br/><br/>The Long Beach Earthquake occurred just before 6 o'clock in the morning and was a magnitude 6.4 killing more than 100 people. The epicenter was offshore south of Los Angeles with much of the damage limited to Long Beach but also spreading north into southern L.A. It is notable that many of the images here document school buildings as more than 200 schools were damaged in the event. This highlighted a need for earthquake-proof construction in school buildings where the death toll would have been much higher had the earthquake struck during school hours and the legislature passed the Field Act on April 10th as a result. An altogether interesting set of images. unknown books
