19195848Various locations in the United States 1919. Very good. 50 leaves illustrated with 198 tipped-in sepia-toned photographs almost all around 5 x 3 inches a handful somewhat smaller all with white ink manuscript captions in English. Oblong quarto. Contemporary black cloth photograph album with "Places and Faces" in gilt on front cover string tied. Moderate wear soiling and minor scuffing to boards. Occasional creasing and minor wear to images. A unique and informative photographic record of an extensive cross-country journey by a young Japanese man from San Francisco to New York in 1918 and 1919. The trip took place between December 1918 and September 1919 beginning in Yokohama. Though the traveler is unnamed he was most likely Fujisawa Tomonosuke the son of the founder of Fujisawa Yakuhin once one of the major pharmaceutical companies in Japan. The company is now called Astellas Pharma Inc. According to a company history Fujisawa Tomonosuke travelled to the United States in 1919 as the company opened a branch in New York. The last page of the present album shows a Buddhist-style memorial with an explanatory caption on the verso which states that Fujisawa Tomokichi Tomonosuke's father built it in 1918 to console thousands of deaths during World War I. The monument still sits in Domyoji Temple near Osaka. Another clue that the album was compiled by Tomonosuke is the practice by the compiler to identify all the subjects in the album by a prefix and their last name except for one who is constantly referred to as "Tom."<br /> <br /> Tomonosuke's journey begins in Yokohama where he boarded the Tenyo Maru which delivered him via Honolulu to San Francisco on December 26 1918. He stayed in San Francisco for about six months and visited numerous locations around the Bay Area including Stanford University the University of California at Berkeley Ocean Beach Seal Rock Golden Gate Park Oakland Lincoln Park and more. In late-May he makes his way to Los Angeles and Pasadena where he visits vast oil fields where one image is captioned "Hundreds of oil wells in Los Angeles" a Southern Pacific Railroad station the zoo Bush Garden and other sites.<br /> <br /> After a few days in southern California Tom sets off across the continent to his presumed ultimate destination of New York briefly visiting Salt Lake City Denver and Chicago before arriving at Niagara Falls by June 3. He includes numerous shots of the falls before arriving in New York City. His stay in New York was extensive and included many sightseeing tours to locations in New York but also New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He includes shots of Bronx Park the Poughkeepsie Bridge the Victory Arch the Statue of Liberty and other sights around Manhattan along withe scenes in Montclair Atlantic Highland and Culver's Lake New Jersey and a few locations in Pennsylvania such as Sawkill Falls on the Delaware River. He also witnessed the commemoration parades for both the American Army's 2nd Division and General Pershing's "Grand Parade Day" in New York City each of which he preserved in a handful of photographs.<br /> <br /> In addition to the variety of the settings the photographs reveal real skill and technique by the photographer. The images are mostly well composed and informative in nature. Despite the fact that the compiler was Japanese all of the captions are written in confident English lending further credence to the notion that the compiler was highly educated and confident as would be the son of the founder of one of Japan's most successful companies. An exceptional annotated vernacular photograph album preserving the adventures of a precocious Japanese business traveller in the United States just after the First World War. unknown
19312702Various locations including Montana Wyoming Missouri California 1931. Very good. 45 leaves illustrated with 185 original photographs from 2.75 x 2 inches to 6.5 x 4 inches the great majority measuring 5.75 x 3.5 inches and a few postcards most with manuscript annotations on the borders of the images or on the album pages. Oblong folio. Contemporary textured black cloth gilt title on front cover string tied. Moderate rubbing to covers bottom edge worn corners creased. Internally clean photographs in very nice shape. A well-annotated vernacular photograph album chronicling about two decades of the travels and experiences of Ray Royse and his family as they trekked from Illinois to California through the Upper West in the first quarter of the 20th century. The Royse family started in Aledo Illinois and numerous photographs feature various family members here. They then traveled through Casper Wyoming Great Falls and Butte Montana and other locations before settling in Long Beach where Ray and his brother-in-law worked at the shipyards. The images here document Ray's training at the Sweeney Automobile & Tractor School in Kansas City driving Harley-Davidson motorcycles attempting to repair a nearly destroyed family sedan visiting the Custer Battlefield and the monument to Buffalo Bill Cody among other western sites scenes in Yellowstone Park and a family drive up Pike's Peak among many others. Ray's efforts to move West reflect the expansion and increasingly wide availability of automobiles and the growing industry in the West following the First World War.<br /> <br /> The photographs here record numerous locations in the American West to which Ray Royse along with his family and friends traveled or worked in in a 1922 Nash and later a Ford Model T. They traveled across the Continental Divide Ray worked for a time at the Anaconda Mines near Great Falls and Butte Montana and later the Standard Oil Refinery at Shelby Montana. Many images show a wrecked Ford Model T with Roy diligently at work trying to repair it before finally resigning his efforts by attaching a sign reading "Rest in Pieces" on the radiator. Another picture shows another Ford weighed down with a huge sack of wool in Bear Creek Wyoming. There are also images emanating from Dublin Gulch near Butte; Livingston Montana; Wind River Canyon in Thermopolis Wyoming; Salt Creek Wyoming; ; and several park scenes in Kansas City. A handful of images feature the Warren family in Butte. Several photographs memorialize the Royse family trip to Yellowstone Park in 1923 with many of the geysers and surrounding landscapes the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone and more. There are also interesting photos from a Royse family drive to the top of Pike's Peak with views from the peak with additional shots from the Garden of the Gods cliff dwellings near Colorado Springs scenes in New Mexico and Arizona in 1929 dams near Great Falls the Beaver Dam in Wyoming a picture of the "Million Dollar Fire" in Casper in 1921 and a beached fifty-five-foot whale in Long Beach dated December 28 1929. Altogether the images clearly illustrate the wandering nature of the Royse family across several states in the American West.<br /> <br /> Ray Royse 1903-1942 was an automobile mechanic metal worker and sheet metal specialist who worked in the Long Beach shipyards from 1929 until 1942 when he was killed in a shipyard accident. He also worked as a coal miner in Wyoming and on the Douglas Sheep Ranch in Wyoming both of which are chronicled in photographs in the present album. He met and married Sylvia Lambert in 1934 in South Dakota before returning to California.<br /> <br /> A wide-ranging and eclectic mixture of original and unique photographs of the West documenting an interesting family who began in Illinois and eventually settled in California. unknown
