1890223061890. Oblong 4to. 10.5" x 15.5". With 26 albumen prints mounted recto only on thick card landscape and portrait format approximately from 195 x 260 to 124 x 200 mm. or the reverse. 12 captioned in the negative by Taber's studio 3 captioned in the negative by Pollock's studio 14 photographs captioned on the mount in ink in French. The photographs are beautifully presented in a contemporary red morocco binding likely collected by a French traveller. Leather slightly mottled with a few faint marks neatly recolored in places mounts slightly foxed and cockled a few photographs with marginal silver mirroring or faint surface abrasions. Else a near fine copy. An excellent photographic record of San Francisco and Yosemite by the multitalented photographer Isiah West Taber. The album also contains evocative images of New York Washington DC and Niagara Falls with some by the Boston-based photographer Charles Pollock. The adventurous Taber 1830-1912 arrived in San Francisco at the beginning of the gold rush in 1849. Quickly deciding there was more money in trade than digging for gold Taber eventually established his photography studio in San Francisco during which time he acquired the entire archive of the landscape photographer Carleton Watkins. In 1888 he was appointed a Yosemite commissioner in appreciation of his work to spread its beauty. Sadly Taber's studio was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fired with an estimated loss of about 20 tons of view negatives and 80 tons of portrait negatives; he never reopened his gallery. <br /> <br /> The photograph album shows images of San Francisco including Market Street Cliff House and an attractive birdseye view. In Yosemite the photographs by Taber show El Capitan Table Rock and Mariposa Grove. The section of photographs of East Coast America includes the White House Capitol Brooklyn Bridge and Niagara in both summer and winter. Three images of New York are by Pollock 1828-1900 who specialized in celebrity portraiture. unknown

Isaiah Thomas was born in Boston and apprenticed to printer Zechariah Fowle with whom he formed a partnership in 1770. They published the Massachusetts Spy but after three months Thomas continued the publication alone. The royal governor ordered the attorney general to prosecute Thomas for his Whig views but the grand jury refused to indict him. In 1774 Thomas published the Royal American Magazine for a short time. Three days before the Battle of Concord in which he participated Thomas moved his presses from Boston to Worcester. Thomas continued publication of the Massachusetts Spy there until 1802 with gaps from 1776 to 1778 and from 1786 to 1788; published and sold books; and built a paper mill and bindery. In 1802 he transferred the business to his son. From 1775 to 1803 Thomas published the New England Almanac which his son continued until 1819. In 1786 he was the first printer in the United States to use music type and in 1791 he printed a folio edition of the Bible and of Isaac Watts’ Psalms and Hymns. He began a project on the history of printing in 1808 and he published it in two volumes in 1810. His grandson published a second edition in 1874. In 1812 Thomas founded what became the American Antiquarian Society and he donated 8000 volumes from his collection and one of the most valuable files of newspapers in the country to the Society. On his death he bequeathed his entire library and collection of early American newspapers to the American Antiquarian Society. Isaiah Thomas unknown
1890364052San Francisco: Taber Photo 1890. Good.

1880364056San Francisco: Taber Photo 1880. Ephemera. Fine. A terrific 19th century Chinatown albumen photograph that offers an interesting contrast to Taber's many well-known photographs of Cheong Wo & Co. a butcher shop that was located nearby. This view was just a half-block away at the corner of Washington Street and the Washington Place alley. The shops in this photo are grittier and less-well tended.<br /> <br /> Taber managed to catch a poultry butcher at the far left in a beam of light. Directly in front of him a fast-moving pedestrian is just a blur. A number of Chinese men stand on the sidewalk or walk down the alley. Instead of the elaborate displays of Cheong Wo most of the merchants on this street have only small round tables of goods in front of their stores. Piles of crates and boxes line one side of the alley. <br /> <br /> Taber's 1889 catalog of images includes four labeled "provision market." One is identified as negative 2869; that may be the same as this image with two numbers transposed.<br /> <br /> The albumen print measures 9-1/2 by 7-1/2 inches and is captioned in the image in a narrow strip along the bottom of the print. A very good print a bit over exposed in the center where sunlight falls on the alley some prints have better contrast in this portion of the image. There is a bit of discoloration on the left margin of the photograph which is otherwise near fine. Never mounted. Taber Photo unknown
189043641San Francisco: Taber 1890. White card mount. Very good very faint fading mainly to the sky. 9 x 7.5 inch image on x 10 x 8 inch card. Albumen photograph. "6359 State Capitol Sacramento Cal." in negative at lower edge. Isaiah West Taber 1830-1912 bounced between the east and west coasts as a youth. After opening his first studio in Syracuse New York he returned to California where he eventually established the "Taber Gallery" at No. 12 Montgomery Street in 1871. His business was quite successful with a stock of over 30000 Western views though many were the unacknowledged works of others. When the San Francisco earthquake led to the destruction of his vast collection his business folded. This image is not at Berkeley nor on Calisphere but is similar to "The Capitol Sacramento Cal. B 2369" at Berkeleyexcept this image is taken closer to the entrance with people in the distance at the steps and provides a more powerful view. Taber unknown
