D4278early 20th century. Very Good. Morocco over flexible boards "Photographs" stamped in gilt on upper board bound with thin black rope; oblong approx. 8-by-6 inches; contains more than 150 black leaves each with a b/w photograph silver gelatin print affixed to the recto and labelled by hand in white ink. Photos occasionally are attached to the verso as well. Nearly 200 photographs total. Average photo size is about 4.75-by-3.5 inches. Boards scuffed along the edges; slight wave to text block; photographs are in near fine condition a few subject to some a touch of fading and light rubbing. <br/><br/>Though only a few images directly mention the "Steamer Manchuria" showing members the band a group of Russian children and "Embarking at Honolulu" it is likely that this rich travelogue captures it's entire voyage through the Far East -- either on it's regular route for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's trans-Pacific service or in 1905 when the Mancuria sailed from San Francisco on a goodwill tour of the Far East carrying a large U.S. Congressional delegation under the leadership of Secretary of War William Taft. There are very few personal photographs to establish our photographer's identity as most pictures are of landmarks landscapes and artifacts such as a bamboo organ in Manila pagodas in Rangoon horse-drawn carriages in various locations. The few images that include people are usually candid with their subjects ignoring or unaware of the photographer -- such as people playing games on deck and surfing photos taken at Waikiki beach. And one labelled "Diving for Coins Singapore" is particularly lovely showing the young men jumping from their canoes. A long far-flung journey with scenes of Manila Rangoon Penang Singapore Java Seoul Hawaii California San Francisco Yosemite Park and Arizona Grand Canyon. Demonstrates a curious eye it seems that the elephants working in the lumber yards of Rangoon were particularly compelling and thankfully an adept one as all photographs are nicely composed exposed and printed. hardcover books
