br. Per comprendere l'importanza di "Alba fatale" nel canone della letteratura western, è sufficiente leggere «Ratto», una novella di Stephen King inclusa nella sua ultima raccolta, Se scorre il sangue. Il protagonista, uno scrittore terrorizzato dal fallimento, riesce finalmente a scrivere il romanzo che ha sempre sognato, ambientato in una cittadina di frontiera nell'Ottocento. E il suo vecchio professore di scrittura creativa commenta così il risultato raggiunto: «Trovo che sia molto buono. Non all'altezza di Alba fatale, forse...» Pubblicato nel 1940 e portato sul grande schermo da William Wellman, con un cast di grande livello guidato da Henry Fonda, "Alba fatale" si svolge in una cittadina del selvaggio West alla fine dell'Ottocento, e offre un ritratto crudo e realistico della vita di frontiera e della violenza che ne scandisce i ritmi quotidiani. Incentrato sul linciaggio di tre uomini accusati ingiustamente di un furto di bestiame e di un omicidio, e sulla tragedia che si scatena quando la legge e l'ordine sociale vengono calpestati, il romanzo di Clark elabora la mitologia western trasformandola in una storia universale sul bene e il male, sul rapporto tra individuo e comunità, tra giustizia e natura umana. Postfazione di Omar Di Monopoli.

19054623Pierre S.D. 1905. Very good. 12 leaves illustrated with twenty-nine photographs between 4.5 x 6.5 inches and 7.75 x 9.5 inches with some small format panoramas measuring 3.75 x 9.75 inches. Oblong folio. Contemporary black pebbled cloth gilt titles reading "Photo Views" on front cover. Minor wear to covers. Text block detached minor wear light staining to edges of some leaves otherwise clean internally. An early-20th century collection of mostly large-format photographs featuring scenes in Pierre South Dakota as well as the surrounding plains. Most of the photographs measure around 7 x 9 inches and feature the train depot in Pierre the Hughes County Courthouse a bridge over the Missouri River likely a Chicago and Northwest Railroad bridge and a spectacular image of a pair of Sioux / Crow Indians. Other photographs picture steamboats loaded with passengers ranching farming rock formations one with a lone horseman posed in front fishing a mill some family group images herds of cattle and a few shots of buffalo roaming on the open prairie. One of the latter photographs of a distant herd of buffalo on the plains is titled in the negative "The last one of the kind" and captioned at bottom right "Photo by Christensen." None of the remaining photographs are captioned with identifying information regarding the photographer but they are nonetheless well composed and professionally developed. The photographs are unusually large and more informative than most western photograph albums we have seen. unknown

1920List515Various Places 1920. Oblong folio cloth over cardstock 15 x 11 inches. Photographs and realphoto postcards most measuring around 5 x 3 1/2 inches mounted to pages. The system of national parks was created at first in a somewhat piecemeal fashion with the Department of the Interior holding responsibility for establishing each park individually. Chief White Calf of the Blackfeet famously negotiated the sale of the bulk of the lands that would form Glacier National Park in 1895 with the agreement being that the US Government would allow for Blackfoot hunting Chief White Calf’s son Chief Two Guns White Calf would later travel to Washington in protest of the government’s subsequent actions. The establishment of the National Park Service in 1916 coincided roughly with the dawn of American motor tourism. <br /> <br /> This album dates from that early period of National Park recreation and bears evidence as to the recreation that happened around the early part of the century. The album shows scenery in three national parks by noted photographers including some iconic photographs of Yellowstone by Frank J. Haynes first taken in the and several scarce images of Blackfoot attributed to the noted photographer T.J. Hileman who was the official photographer of Glacier National Park during this period. The album begins with twenty-eight photographs by Haynes who printed copies of his classic Yellowstone photographs first taken in the 1890s from his St. Paul Minnesota studio. The next group shows twenty realphoto postcards of Mt. Rainier National Wilderness Area taken by Frank Jacobs. Some images show the architecture of the lodges some of which were later designated as national landmarks due to their exemplification of National Park Service rustic-style architecture. Surrounding these images are a series of photographs presumably of the family responsible for the album showing a young family picnicking beside their automobile. This section also includes interestingly a realphoto Christmas Card from Mr. and Mrs. Mark Frederick Jukes. Jukes was a notable photographer based in Elko Nevada during this period. <br /> <br /> The next section which represents the most uncommon images in the album shows a series of images of Glacier National Park. The group includes ten realphoto postcards by or attributed to T.J. Hileman some with his copyright mark who was at that time the park’s staff photographer and famously took photographs of the Blackfoot people living in the eastern portion of the park. Included are two portraits of Two Guns White Calf and a portrait of Chief Three Bears neither of which we find records of in the trade. Following the Hileman images are twenty-one images taken by Fred Kiser of Glacier National Park each measuring 3 x 3 â… inches showing captioned scenes throughout Glacier National Park in Kiser’s distinctive cursive writing. Kiser began photographing western mountain landscapes on his own in 1905 following the death of his brother and his photographs of Glacier and its environs were reproduced during the park’s early days. Eight amateur photographs follow showing camping scenes in an unidentified Western landscape. The remainder of the album - 29 pictures - show the family at home and are most notable for a series of white children dressed up in faux- American Indian costumes. <br /> <br /> Overall a somewhat extensive and iconic representation of early automobile-age Western travel with the grand western scenery and zeitgeist of the time on full display. Images generally in fine condition with a few stray creases album with some light normal wear. <br /> <br /> Offered in partnership with James Arsenault & Company. unknown
