21433Hardcover. Very good. Black leather album containing 54 tissue-guarded leaves of watercolor paper of which 43 have been used. 10 x 12 inches stamped in gilt on the front "Sketches on the Nile / Alan Hinch / 1938." Leather scuffed cloth tape reinforcement to inner hinges all else very good. Alan Hinch was born in England c. 1881 but was living in the United States by 1920 when the federal census documents him working in Miami as pilot of a private yacht owned by socialite James Deering an executive in International Harvester Company. He apparently embarked on this Nile cruise as companion to his next employer Richard Flint Howe 1863-1943 another International Harvester executive who had married James Deering's sister Abby. Passenger manifests show Hinch as traveling in the company of a "Mr. R. Howe" and the census of 1940 lists him as butler on Howe's estate. He was clearly more than a simple servant however as this charming and humorous album reveals. The album documents the journey from departure on the Italian Line passenger ship Conte de Savoia on January 15 1938 to arrival home at Banksia Howe's custom-built mansion in Aiken South Carolina on March 26 1938. Each page includes an original watercolor most measuring about 4.5 x 8 inches but some larger with a related original doggerel poem. Hinch's paintings are skillful. His poetry is markedly less so but it is clever observant and skillfully captures the traveler's experiences. On a visit to Asyut Hinch writes: Assuit the place they said would be warm/ Was 42 degrees at early morn/ If the like keeps on we will have to don /Earlaps coonskins as at a football game./ Rode through the quarters where the natives were/ Couldn't say lived for it looked so bare/ They called out for bakscheesh/ Both old and young/ They thought we came only to give to them./ Oh what a place to be born and live./ Then through the bazaar narrow and crowded/ Maybe bargains galore/ But we passed through as quick as we could./ Oddments and rubbish in hovels so poor./ Then to the tombs too high to climb/ And round the modern town we drove/ Back on board the "Memnon" to dine. A visit to the ancient cemetery at Beni Hasan is described from the perspective of the donkeys who labor under the weight of well-fed tourists. Other subjects include the ocean liners and streamers they traveled in local people they encountered a dragoman a water carrier a little girl in a red scarf boats on the Nile camels and water buffalo the Pyramids Sphinx Panopolis El-Balyyana Abydos Karnak Kom Ombo Wadi Haifa Abu Simbel and Luxor. There are also several views of the Mediterranean coast and one of Banksia in South Carolina. In all a charming and lovely representation of the places and time. hardcover books

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
