19235280Various locations in the American Southwest and West 1923. About very good. Two oblong folio photograph albums bound in brown pebbled leather each titled in gilt on front cover "WANDERLUST" containing a total of 266 full-page vernacular and professional photographs. First albums: 146 leaves illustrated with 128 full-page landscape photographs each around 6 x 8 inches or slightly larger and occasional manuscript or hand-fashioned sectional title pages and maps. Second volume: 148 leaves illustrated with 138 photographs and occasional manuscript or hand-fashioned sectional title pages. All contents mounted one per page to recto of each leaf. Spines perished but holding strong boards worn scuffed and soiled. Contents noticeably curled with minor to moderate dust-soiling throughout. A studio photograph of a young man is laid-in to the first album likely the compiler of the albums but sadly unidentified. An elaborately-produced pair of vernacular photograph albums documenting an epic cross-country train excursion in 1923 by a well-to-do but anonymous traveler from New York comprised of over 260 full-page photographs. The photographs are a mixture of silver gelatin images printing out paper prints handcolored photographs and a handful of cyanotypes. Most of the images appear to be taken by the traveler en route but some images may have been bought along the way. The images largely picture the landscape or architecture seen along the way with a healthy number of images showing the railroad and the railcars themselves with many images taken at train depots. The occasional manuscript sectional title pages denote the regions of travel as the compiler moved west to California and then eventually back east towards home.<br /> <br /> The first album begins with a manuscript title leaf quoting the text of Gerald Gould's poem "Wanderlust" supplemented by two small drawings and two thumbnail photographs. A map on the second leaf traces the voyage from New York down through the American South and Southwest to California and back to New York through Arizona Colorado and the Midwest. Thereafter the album is comprised mostly of full-page photographs grouped together by location with anywhere from a few to several images per section. The first section in the first album shows the first major stop on the trip -- Washington D.C. and Mount Vernon; this section contains photographs of the Capitol the Lincoln Monument other D.C. buildings and several on the grounds of George Washington's home at Mount Vernon. The album then includes sections featuring New Orleans six photographs; the route between New Orleans and El Paso five images including the train depot at Langtry Texas; El Paso five shots featuring the city and street views; Juarez Mexico eight shots mostly either street scenes or a bullfight; "Thru New Mexico and Arizona" four images; The Apache Trail in Arizona nineteen shots mostly desert landscapes but with some buildings along the trail; and onward through the Carriso Gorge seven photos to California beginning at Coronado Beach eight photographs. The remainder of the first album features California locations namely San Diego sixteen images mostly missions; Pasadena ten photos mostly featuring gardens; Catalina Island eight shots of the island scenery or the bay; Los Angeles eight views in Santa Monica Venice and Ocean Park; and ending with fourteen images featuring missions and other notable structures in Santa Barbara.<br /> <br /> The second volume picks up the excursion in Del Monte California featuring fifteen scenes in Carmel by the Sea and Monterey. The photographic journey of California then continues to Santa Cruz and the Big Trees five shots; San Francisco eleven views around the city and in the Japanese gardens; Mt. Tamalpais a dozen shots of elevated vistas big trees and forests; Yosemite National Park twenty park views; Mariposa Big Trees seven shots; and ends with the Glenwood Mission Inn in Riverside twenty-two images of the hotel grounds and other local scenery and missions around Riverside. The remainder of the album features photographs from the Grand Canyon in Arizona twenty-six images mostly landscapes but with a few featuring Native American ceremonies and Colorado Springs twenty landscapes and other views of the city surrounding desert Pikes Peak and so forth. Concerned mostly with scenery of the American South Southwest and West Coast the compiler did not see fit to record photographs of the remainder of his trip back home to New York. In addition to the information contained in the photographs here the elaborate materiality custom matching albums with matching gilt titles to the front board handcrafted sectional title pages the hand-drawn and traced map and the nature of the organization of the albums arranged in the order of travel from east to west and back east again speaks volumes about the importance the compiler placed on the trip.<br /> <br /> Substantially documented western travel albums are growing rare in the market and the present example is one of the most carefully-assembled examples we have ever seen. unknown

12mo. 63, (1) pp. Stab-sewn in contemporary marbled wrappers (nonpareil pattern). Rebacked with brown cloth. Rare edition of the Acts of the Apostles in Kosraean (Kusaiean), spoken on the islands of Kosrae, the Caroline Islands, and Nauru. The translation is by Benjamin G. Snow, a pioneer of the Micronesian Mission. He settled in Kosraea in 1852 and published several translations of parts of the New Testament from 1862 until his death in 1880, all printed at Honolulu. - The printer of the present booklet, Henry Martyn Whitney, was born at Waimea in 1824. He was educated in the United States, where he became acquainted with the printing trade, working as foreman in the printing office of Harpers & Bros, New York. Upon his return to Hawaii, Whitney became the editor of the newspaper "Polynesian". He later founded an independent newspaper at Honolulu and imported the first power press to Hawaii. - In very good condition. OCLC 9610715. Cf. Darlowe/Moule 6036-6045 (other Kosraean translations by Snow). Not in Forbes. For Whitney cf. The Independent vol. XVIII, no. 2894, 18 August 1904.
Large 4to. Issues 1 through 12 (January-December) in one volume. 96 (instead of 100), (4) pp. Contemporary marbled boards with handwritten spine title. The complete first year of this monthly journal issued by the just-founded German-Chinese Foundation, a Hessian missionary society. "The Chinese Foundation (or Kassel Missionary Society) (CS) was established in 1846 as the Deutsch-Chinesische Stiftung by members of the Evangelische Missionsverein in Kurhessen (founded in 1833) in response to Karl Friedrich Gützlaff's appeal for support of his 'Chinese Union' at Hong Kong [...] Sectarian friction in the Evangelical Missionary Society in Electoral Hesse [...] hastened the demise of the CS after 1855. The China work commenced in 1840 with the arrival of Karl Vogel at Hong Kong" (Tiedemann). - Articles include: Protestant missionary activity for China from 1805 until the Anglo-Chinese War; Gützlaff's latest journey to Northern China; The Imperial Tolerance Edict; North Chinese emigrants to Mongolia; The effectiveness of the Christian Association in Hong Kong; The imprisonment of the Catholic missionary Mr. Carayon in China; Chronicle of the German-Chinese Foundation; News about the missions in Hunan and Hupi, etc., as well as a list of the missionary activities in China. - The two final appended leaves discuss the purpose of the Foundation as well as the arrangement of the periodical, which from 1850 onwards was published quarterly as "Quartalberichte der Chinesischen Stiftung" (cf. Kirchner). - Issue 7 lacks pp. 55-60, containing the text of a letter from the board to Gützlaff (cf. Walravens 26). Hinges weakened; endpapers a little foxed; some browning throughout. Traces of old folds, but generally well preserved. Very rare; only three copies in OCLC. Kirchner 8265. Tiedemann, Reference Guide to Christian Missionary Societies in China, p. 174.
