190775557N.p.: N.p. 1907-1912. This officer was on the rise apparently as he was constantly moved from camp to camp. The album contains 214 original silver gelatin photographs. When he started the officer was based in India and up until photograph 154 all of the pictures are of sights in India Ceylon Mauritius and Rangoon. Thankfully very few of these are family portraits as the officer seemed to delight in the local people and terrain. He is next situated in Pretoria at King's Hill Harrismith. He seemed to have a relaxing time there mainly lounging around the army camp and a very nice one at that Robert's Heights. It was founded around 1905 by the British Army and called Robert's Heights after Field Marshal Lord Roberts. There are numerous captains and generals named in the album but we could not discern the photographer's name but we do know he was a avid golfer. While in Ceylon he took photographs of many of the greens at that course. He did this again in South Africa. There are also numerous photographs of the whole brigade in formation and on exercises. Included but not bound in are eight large photographs 11 1/2 x 9 1/4 inches mainly of military formations. Also included are five medium sized 8 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches photographs and these are of a more domestic nature. Most of the photographs in the album are 4 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches and the vast majority of them are captioned. All housed in the original album of half red roan over red cloth. A few photographs loose from their stubs but hanging in there front joint split but the album still holding together. Really an essay could be written about this album but the cataloger ran out of time. N.p. hardcover
1931D14321931. Very Good. Stab binding bound with grey ribbon patterned cloth over boards 13 x 9.25 with handwritten titles on front board; contains 19 grey heavy cardstock leaves each featuring numerous b/w photographs more than 150 in all average size is 3 x 4.25 affixed to rectos and versos with photo-corners most of them labeled by hand in German with some English. Boards a little rubbed and scuffed else fine. <br/><br/>A lovely young African woman wearing robes a turban and a necklace clutches a pipe in her teeth and poses for the camera in front of a thatched roof house. The photograph bears the handwritten label Basutofrau aus dem Hinterland von East London. So begins this collection of images photographs taken by the author and postcards of Cape Town and South-West Africa in 1931. It offers a nice balance of the personal with images of the authors friends at picnics hiking with men in suits and hat and the ladies in dresses and high-heeled shoes! on ship and watching street performers and the more broadly interesting streetscapes and landmarks. The African people it seems were also generously willing to smile for the camera. Postcards have labels printed in English identifying Camps Bay Chapman Peak government buildings memorials etc. and the photographs taken by the author usually identify the place and date tidy penmanship in German and often with a quip. Though a few of the authors photographs are a little blurry or over-exposed most are nicely composed and all of the images photos and postcards are bright and clean. A pleasing amalgam. hardcover
