19143378Various locations in Southern California and Hawaii 1914. About very good. Sixty-one leaves illustrated with 214 mounted silver gelatin photographs most with manuscript annotations in white ink; plus numerous mounted postcards menus and assorted ephemera. Oblong quarto. Contemporary black textured limp cloth over boards. Edges a bit chipped and tattered inelegant black tape repairs to spine. First leaf detached contents otherwise clean. A wonderful annotated vernacular photograph album documenting a well-to-do family's vacation to Hawaii via brief stops along the West Coast in 1914. The album opens with a group image of the travelers in San Francisco numbering around twenty-two men women and children captioned "Southern California - Honolulu." This is followed by several pages picturing their initial journey from Seattle down to San Pedro Los Angeles and San Diego before they departed for Honolulu on the S.S. Matsonia on June 17. A passenger list is included and many of the images are captioned with the names of the subjects providing a nice opportunity for identifying the travelers by cross-referencing the passenger list.<br /> <br /> The group spends their vacation time at the Sea Side Hotel on Waikiki Beach in bathing houses and on the beach visiting local businesses plantations and other hotels surfing fishing and more. Through the course of the album much of the landscape of Waikiki is featured providing a snapshot of the hotel and details of its surroundings along with shots of a "Native Village" sugar cane fields and a plantation pineapple fields street views of Honolulu a picnic for "Kids of all nations" at Waikiki the Port of Honolulu and more. The album also features a few early images of surfing at Waikiki Beach. In mid-July true to the title of the album the group heads back across the Pacific Ocean aboard the R.M.S. Niagara after just one month.<br /> <br /> Most notable among the photographs are about thirty risqué images of local Hawaiian women interspersed throughout. The pictures of the "Native Girls" often feature them topless or scantily clad identifying them with additional captions such as "Hawaiian Beauty" "Maidens bathing" "Girls" "Hula Hula Dancers" and "The Ex. Queen of Hawaii." One group shot shows ten Hawaiian women eating fish captioned "'Lunau' sic Lu'au or Native feast." Another side-view image of a naked Hawaiian woman is annotated "The Natives are a sturdy race of people." There are also numerous images featuring other indigenous Hawaiian people in a variety of settings including a couple of images showing a "Hawaiian boy climbing a cocoa nut palm" two pictures of "Native fisher boys" a "Native hut" "Hawaiian kiddies" a "Native canoeist" a "Group of Natives" a "Native Priest - looks as if he had been fasting for some time" and images showing "Natives selling 'Leis' for departing visitors" and "Native 'Leis' vendors on Honolulu." The images of the Hawaiian women as well as the men combined with the captions provide an opportunity for further studying the ways in which affluent American mainlanders have traditionally viewed indigenous Hawaiians and other native peoples encountered throughout the world.<br /> <br /> In addition to the passenger list mentioned above the ephemeral items include shipboard menus a program for an onboard concert newspaper clippings cigar labels and postcards. The latter includes a series of forty-one vibrantly-colored postcards illustrated with Hawaiian fish. An interesting travel album detailing a trip to Hawaii at the outset of the First World War with many notable observations on indigenous peoples in Honolulu especially the young women of the island. unknown

190558599London England: Great Western Railway ca. 1905. Oblong 4to. 11 x 8 in. 48 pp unpaginated. on thick card stock all leaves mounted on linen hinges w/ 38 original albumen & silver gelatin photographs mounted all sized from 6 x 8.25 in. and all with very strong contrast and bright images. Contemporary embossed green cloth over beveled boards ruling in blind minor shelfwear light bumping to couple corners very light occasional interior toning still NF exemplar. This exceptional Edwardian factory photo album offers contemporary images of several classes of steam locomotives purchased and operated by the Great Western Railway under the direction of both William Dean and G.J. Churchward. The images primarily focus on the 4-4-0 Express engines including the “City Class†‘Badminton Class†GWR 4100 “Atbara Class†“Bulldog Class†and the “Saint Class.†Photos depict such storied locomotives as the William Dean No. 100 built in 1902 and fore-runner of the 4-6-0 locomotives on the Great Western Railway which were 2-cylinder machines built with parallel boilers; the Vanguard 4-4-0 later renamed Cunard was designed at behest of Churchward and based on the William Dean design with coned boilers and by 1905 19 further similar locomotives had been purchased. Also present is a photo of the La France No. 102 a 4-4-2 locomotive built in 1903 by Societe Alsacienne de Construction Mecaniques Works Number 5409 purchased by Churchward to evaluate French locomotive engines and compounding practices. In actuality the La France did not offer any significant improvement to Albion No. 171 Churchward’s prototype 4-6-0. The “City Class†locomotives are represented here by the Bath No. 3433 Bristol No. 3435 Birmingham No. 3434 Chester No. 3436 and London 3439 all constructed in 1903 and most remaining in service until 1929-1931. The “Atbara Class†4-4-0 locomotives were built from 1898-1905 and these used names in the public eye during Great Britain’s colonial wars but all were relegated to non-express following 1922. Represented in these photos are the Kitchener No. 3377 a 4-4-0 built in 1900 Kimberley No. 3379 Ladysmith No. 3380 Ondurman No. 3384 Brisbane No. 3396 and Cape Town No. 3397. Two photos show the tragic Mafeking No. 3382 which was withdrawn from service in Sept. 1911 after a severe accident at Henley-in-Arden with both images showing the same 4-4-0 configuration. The “Bulldog Class†engines feature the Albert Brassey No. 3414 built in 1902 and the Reading No. 3449 built in Oct. 1903 and later renumbered 3387. The “Saint Class†locomotives designed by G.J. Churchward often have the 4-4-2 configuration before many were rebuilt from 1907-1912 as 4-6-0 Express Locomotives. These include the Albion Quicksilver Robins Bolitho Lord Palmer Winterstroke Robertson Kirkland the Coeur de Lion and the Lalla Rookh. Of additional interest are the Nos. 103 “President†and 104 “Alliance†built by French de Glehn-du Bosquet as 4-cylinder locomotives purchased in 1905 and similar to the Paris-Orleans 3001 Class. One of the photos shows the Kennet No. 3015 which was the express locomotive involved in the June 16 1900 Slough Rail Accident which resulted in killing 5 passengers and injuring over 35. The accident also forced the adoption of improved vacuum brake systems on locomotives and rolling stock in the United Kingdom.
