1890364055San Francisco: Taber Photo 1890. Near fine. An unmounted imperial cabinet card-sized albumen silver print of the exterior of the Hang Fer Lo restaurant and the Colombo cigar factory on Dupont Street between Sacramento and Clay Streets in San Francisco's Chinatown.<br /> <br /> Hang Fer Lo was the leading Chinese restaurant in the city before the earthquake. It operated on two floors above the cigar factory. This image probably dates from the 1890s it is not in Taber's 1889 catalog of images. A small area of the Colombo sign has been painted over adding the words "Bong Mon Cigar Factory." At the time there was some prejudice against Chinese-made cigars. In 1887 the Oroville Weekly Mercury August 5 issue ran an article criticizing a business owner in Chico California for selling Colombo brand cigars instead of "white labor cigars."<br /> <br /> The upper floors of the building belong to the Chinese restaurant and are adorned with paper lanterns plants and carved decorations. A sign reading "restaurant" is visible at the top center of the image.<br /> <br /> 7-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches. Captioned in the negative in a narrow strip along the bottom of the image. A near fine image with a bit of creasing. Never mounted. Taber Photo unknown

06549London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1897. The Grand Banks - Where Boys Become Men"<br /> A Classic of the Sea<br /> <br /> KIPLING Rudyard. 'Captains Courageous' A Story of the Grand Banks. With illustrations by I. W. Taber. London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1897.<br /> <br /> First edition. Small octavo 7 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches; 184 x 121 mm. viii 245 1 blank 2 advertisements pp. With twenty-two full-page illustrations by I. W. Taber.<br /> <br /> Publisher's blue cloth front cover and spine pictorially decorated in gilt dark gray coated endpapers all edges gilt. Minimal rubbing to extremities small bookseller's description neatly affixed to front paste-down. A touch of very light foxing otherwise a near fine copy the notoriously fragile endpapers remarkably fresh and intact.<br /> <br /> One of Kipling's most enduring and widely read novels Captains Courageous stands apart within his canon as a pure sea story drawn from his own experiences aboard fishing vessels off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. First published in 1897 it tells the story of Harvey Cheyne a spoiled American boy transformed by hardship discipline and camaraderie after being swept overboard and rescued by a Gloucester fishing schooner.<br /> <br /> The novel's vivid depiction of life at sea - its dangers routines and moral code - owes much to Kipling's gift for observation and his admiration for working seamen. The result is a narrative at once adventurous and deeply humane often compared to the great maritime traditions of Dana and Melville but with a distinctly Kiplingesque emphasis on character and duty.<br /> <br /> Isaiah West Taber 1830-1912 is a slightly deceptive figure in this context - he was not primarily a book illustrator but one of the leading American photographers of the late 19th century based in San Francisco. That explains why the plates in Captains Courageous feel unusually "real": they are derived from photographic studies not traditional drawn illustration.<br /> <br /> The publisher's pictorial gilt cloth binding with its bold maritime design is particularly attractive and increasingly difficult to find in such well-preserved condition especially with the delicate coated endpapers intact and the gilt still bright.<br /> <br /> A handsome and increasingly scarce first edition of one of the great literary evocations of the sea. London: Macmillan and Co., Limited, 1897 unknown

199676376London: Chatto & Windus 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Signed and dated by Isaiah Berlin on a prefatory blank leaf. The British philosopher and historian of ideas Sir Isaiah Berlin 1909-97 is regarded as one of the founders of the discipline now known as intellectual history. Eight of the nine pieces included in this collection are published for the first time and their range is characteristically wide: the subjects explored include realism in history; judgement in politics; the history of socialism; the nature and impact of Marxism; the radical cultural revolution instigated by the Romantics; Russian notions of artistic commitment; and the origins and practice of nationalism. The title essay starting from the impossibility of historians being able to recreate a bygone epoch is a superb centerpiece. From the library of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael Parks. Edited by Henry Hardy with an introduction by Patrick Gardiner. Octavo. Original blue cloth binding with gilt titles. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Chatto & Windus hardcover

1887364053San Francisco: I. W. Taber Pho. Photographer 1887. Fine. An unmounted imperial cabinet card-sized albumen silver print of five idols in a Chinatown temple. Most likely this is the temple at 9 Brooklyn Place off of Sacrament Street where the Lung Gong Association Longgang gongsuo; now the Lung Kong Tin Yee Association had its headquarters in the late 1880s. This image is dated 1887 in the negative an unusual feature of Taber photographs from this period. <br /> <br /> 9-3/8 by 7-1/4 inches. Captioned in the negative in a narrow strip along the bottom of the image. A fine image a bit faded around the edges but with excellent focus and contrast. Never mounted. I. W. Taber Pho.

1880364047San Francisco: Taber Photo 1880. Near fine. A very nice ninethenth century albumen street scene photograph of San Francisco's Chinatown. <br /> <br /> This photograph shows a sunlit Clay Street looking down hill possibly from just below Stockton Street. A Chinese man in a work apron is walking in the foreground facing the camera. Other men walk away from Taber's lens or cross the street as the Clay St. Hill Railroad cable car no. 2 reaches the intersection. Signs for two businesses are clearly visible on the right hand side. The tall vertical sign in the immediate foreground advertises Yuantang's 元堂 shop with medicinal herbs from various provinces of China. A sign farther back at the corner of the next street advertises Tai Ning Tong 太寧堂 another Chinese medicine shop.<br /> <br /> This is an albumen silver prints on thin photographic paper roughly 4-7/8 by 7-9-16 inches captioned in the negative in a narrow strip along the bottom of the image. This image is included in Taber's ca. 1889 catalog of images available in his gallery. This image has very good contrast with better detail than the previous version of this print I have had. This print is not mounted but it has small surface scars on the verso leaving the already-thin paper even thinner but intact in a few places. Taber Photo unknown
1880364054San Francisco: Taber Photo 1880. Near fine. An unmounted imperial cabinet card-sized albumen silver print of a large room in a Chinese restaurant empty of people. The room is decorated with carvings and hanging scroll paintings. <br /> <br /> This view may have been taken inside the restaurant at 824-826-828 Washington Street the only restaurant on Washington Street in the 1885 map of Chinatown published in San Francisco's municipal reports. In 1892 a restaurant called Chun Sun was located at 826 based on a report of a fire that ran in the July 14 San Francisco Examiner. Restaurants appear to have occupied that address during much of the 20th century continuing to the present day.<br /> <br /> 9-7/16 by 7-7/16 inches. Captioned in the negative in a narrow strip along the bottom of the image. A near fine image a bit faded at the edges but with good focus and contrast. Never mounted. Taber Photo unknown
