115314Very Good. Green buckram 193 × 253 mm stamped in blind 'Kodak Panorams' sic containing 36 gelatin silver panoramic photographs between 55 × 170 mm and 60 × 180 mm each loosely inserted two-to-a-page behind window mounts in specially-designed album leaves; 14 are captioned in pencil at the head of the print and 7 have a reference number between 67 and 83; many of the earlier photographs not featuring images of war are captioned on the verso in ink. Buckram slightly marked and rubbed; mild silvering-out to some prints; overall both the album and the photographs are in excellent condition. The heart of the album consists of 19 striking images of towns between Lens near Arras and Maurepas near Saint Quentin and the panoramic format of the photographs captures the horrifying extent of artillery damage. The towns identified in pencil on the images are Albert Lens Peronne Roye Villers Carbonnel Moreuil Souchez La Maisonnette Maurepas Bouchevesnes Combles and Hangard with a further identified view of the Canal du Nord. This area saw some of the heaviest fighting on the Western Front. Particularly noteworthy are three uncaptioned views of the destruction to the centre of Arras with these panoramas far more evocative than the ubiquitous snapshots. One image albeit poorly exposed shows a large homemade sign erected on the ruins of a church: 'Lens Veut Renaître' Lens Wants To Be Reborn. <p>Several of the early images in the album are also of interest. One shows a field hospital identified as 'Hôpital de campagne américain' almost certainly one of several run by the American Ambulance Volunteer Field Service present in France from the beginning of the war. Another shows an establishment at Notre Dame de la Mer almost certainly the Ecole nationale belge des mutilés de guerre near Port-Villez. <p> The other photographs are of the French Alps 1913; the baroque Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte near Melun four items 1914; a Paris streetscape 'Ce que l'on voyait en Juin 1915 du balcon de la chambre de Maman à Paris'; the Chateau de Brécourt three items 1915 including one with two women captioned 'Emma et Léonie dans la région de ma tranchée'; the Seine at Vernon two items 1915; and sepia-toned images of Mont Saint Michel and the shrine at Lourdes. unknown

There are also several images of the Oregon Agricultural College now OSU baseball team including image of Walter “Keck going for first base†in May 1911.

Walker is second from left. Moore was kicked out.†Bert also sent a few images of the OAC Regiment passing in review marching and the assembly hall at the College. Also included are shots of fishermen and strings of fish in and around Forest Grove the Wilson River and views of hiking and wagons driving on the beach near Cannon Beach and Ecola Oregon together with views of the Cannon Beach Home inn and the group standing atop a massive Douglas Fir tree stump next to the cabin.

One of the auto camping photos shows Bert Pilkington and his wife Annie Bleeg Pilkington Charles’ older sister setting with their two children against their touring car and auto tent whiles others depict hiking in the forest and fishing alongside the stream. The remainder of the album focuses on the 1912 fishing adventures by Charles Bleeg and friends including Warren Woodard and “Doc Wadsworth†as they drove from Forest Grove along the Wilson River to Tillamook and fishing and camping along the way. The images show the 1912 Schacht Brass Era touring car members of the fishing party with their surprising amounts of catches of trout camp scenes digging out the Schacht from the mud alongside the rough roads and the bucolic beauty of rural Oregon at the time. Four of the images are larger and include a “Flashlight†view of the group seated amidst their camping equipment laundry hanging above their heads hatchets on the wall behind and fishing equipment while others show fishing rods creels and equipment and fish literally spilling out in a cornucopia and labeled “A day’s sport -- on the Big Nestucca August 15 1912.†Bleeg 1891-1979 worked for Archer & Combs who were wholesale hardware dealers specializing in automobile parts in the Brass Era and also sold automobiles such as the Schacht. The company later became Archer & Wiggins and he also worked for other firms in Portland OR while attending North Pacific College to become a dentist like his older brother Fred Bleeg. After graduating in 1915 and serving in World War I he set up offices in the historic Selling Building on NE 21st Ave. in Portland where his practice remained until the 1950’s. His son Charles Henry Bleeg 1922-2018 founded and operated the very successful Bleeg Motors on 16th & Sandy which was the oldest continuously operating car dealer in Oregon and in fact he remained in his offices working up to his death. Pilkington 1879-1937 was captain of the Oregon Agricultural College football team from 1904-1905 and later became professor of chemistry as well as athletic coach. He married Bleeg’s older sister who had attended OAC in 1907 and often referred to Charles in his notes on the RPPC’s as “Otter.†Charles Bleeg, Bert Pilkington, Oregon Agricultural College, hardcover
