1942232231942. American serviceman's Sgt. T. Mansker's photo album compiled from experience moving between France and French colonial Algeria circa 1942-1945 A majority of the approx. 270 photographs take place in wartime Algeria under Allied military presence in French colonial Algeria. The album centers on occupied Algerian street life public space transport and military circulation in North Africa preserving roughly 100 views of of colonial Algeria spanning religious sites social street views and commercial districts shaped by foreign military presence during the war. Real photo postcards addressed by Mansker to Mrs. T. Mansker in Chicago place the album as depicting Mansker's time in France stamped and sent in November 1944 through the US Army's mailing system while the larger body of photographs are numbered North African and Algerian views indicating a commercial photographic market serving foreigners in North Africa.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 274 items including 268 silver gelatin photographs and real photo postcards one press photograph and 5 unique negatives North Africa and France circa 1942-1945. The album begins with mailed postcards from France to Mansker's wife and continues with a dense run of black and white photographs mounted on black paper leaves many of the Algerian images uniformly numbered and consistent with commercial views sold to soldiers. Content includes parade formations marching through city streets lined with civilian spectators; a Red Cross "Enlisted Men's Service Club" entrance; harbor and rail scenes with locomotives freight cars wrecked machinery and transport corridors; bomb-damaged streets rubble and collapsed masonry in French urban settings; mosque and church exteriors and interiors; shrines cemeteries gardens monuments and civic buildings; palm-lined boulevards and colonial public architecture; and numerous Algerian street scenes with robed men children posed in portraits merchants and vendors donkey and horse transport roadside labor shepherding courtyard gatherings and small groups seated or standing beneath walls and arcades. Several street views also retain wartime control signs in the background including one reading "British Personnel Only" and another marked "Off Limits to U.S. Forces" giving direct visual evidence of restricted military space and overlapping Allied jurisdictions within the urban environment of wartime Algeria. Many photos record everyday business and movement continuing in streets and market spaces amid military passage colonial institutions. Some photos depict servicemen's entertainment and staged theatrical performance extending the album's wartime scope beyond transport and occupation into the organized leisure and morale culture surrounding Allied military life.<br /> <br /> French colonial Algeria served as a port staging ground administrative center and transportation hub after the North African landings with routes linking North Africa southern France and the wider Mediterranean war. The album's Algerian majority includes street commerce religious sites child portraiture transport routes and public ceremonies alongside Allied military presence in cities and towns under French colonial administration during the war. Black-paper leaves heavily worn with crumbling edges worn and delicate spine lots of tape residue lifted and loose photos and loose pages; photographs generally remain in good condition RPPCs remain legible. Mansker's postcards and the album's large numbered Algerian sequence anchor the material in the overlap of U.S. military movement colonial Algeria and wartime commercial photography. unknown
1950233911950. French military photo album tracing the movement of French servicemen from infantry instruction at Saint-Maixent-l'École into North African field service during the Algerian War era with sustained documentation of rallye exercises convoy organization patrol work barracks labor communications equipment and winter combat preparation. The album's training sequences include helmeted soldiers assembled beneath a road sign reading "ST MAIXENT" and "N 138" men gathered around field maps spread across drums and teams identified by painted helmet markings including "A5" corresponding to the postwar role of Saint-Maixent's École d'application de l'infanterie as a training center for officer candidates reserve officers and noncommissioned officers. Later leaves shift into French North Africa through photographs taken at Camp Maréchal Lyautey and surrounding mountainous terrain where armed patrols move across ridgelines machine-gun crews occupy snow-covered overlooks radio operators carry field communication equipment with extended antennas and transport convoys navigate exposed roads and desert valleys. Rather than concentrating on formal portraiture the album follows the routine structure of French army service during the final decade of French colonial rule in Algeria through field movement instruction logistics temporary encampments and small-unit operations.<br /> <br /> Photo album containing 91 silver gelatin photographs most approximately 4 x 3 inches mounted on black binder leaves with removable plastic photo corners circa 1950s. Locations include Saint-Maixent-l'École Camp Maréchal Lyautey at Aïn Harrouda near Casablanca and additional unidentified sites in French North Africa. Numerous photographs retain handwritten French captions on the versos. A training image captioned "Avant le départ du Rallye l'équipe A5" identifies a rallye exercise team assembled before departure while other photographs record helmeted infantry carrying rifles along dirt roads soldiers seated inside troop transport vehicles men shoveling earth beside barracks structures and servicemen gathered in mess or recreation spaces beside French-plated automobiles and jeeps. Winter field scenes show armed patrols advancing across snow-covered terrain two soldiers resting in sleeping bags against a stone wall machine-gun positions overlooking valleys and a solitary radio operator standing in open snow with transmission equipment mounted on his back. Additional landscape photographs document roads encampments ridgelines and arid mountain terrain associated with French military movement through North Africa during the conflict.<br /> <br /> The Algerian War emerged from coordinated FLN attacks launched on November 1 1954 and developed into a prolonged colonial conflict that destabilized the French Fourth Republic expanded compulsory military service and ended with the Évian Accords and Algerian independence in 1962. French military training schools such as Saint-Maixent prepared officers and NCOs for a war increasingly defined by patrol operations convoy security communications networks and counterinsurgency deployment across difficult rural terrain. The album preserves that structure at soldier level through sequences focused on preparation movement field coordination and environmental conditions rather than ceremonial imagery. Black binder leaves show moderate handling wear; photographs remain sharp and well-preserved with occasional light silvering and minor corner wear from mounting. The removable mounts preserve access to the captioned versos and maintain the documentary character of the archive as a continuous record of French military service during the final decade of colonial rule in North Africa. unknown

His father died about 1852 and his mother and her partner continued their work there until returning to Switzerland. Jean founded his own photographic atelier in Alger in the late 1860s at Rue Bab-Azoun 7 and took over the company of Alary & Geiser in 1874. Geiser's studio evolved to one of the most known and successful photo-studios in Algeria with a subsidiary in Blida. Next to his studio photography he covered all aspects of colonial photography on travels throughout the country. His business flourished especially by the success of printed photo postcards which got more and more popular at the end of the 19th century. In France he gained a high reputation as a photographer of orientalist and colonial photography and won several prizes and gold medals at photographic competitions i.e. gold medal at Amsterdam 1892 and at the Exposition Internationale in Nice in 1901.

1833309066Paris: Dondey-Dupré père et fils 1833. ii 30 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Disbound. Presentation inscription at head of title "a - - de la part de son ami l'auteur. ii 30 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Early response to the French conquest of Algeria in 1830 and subsequent plans for its annexation to France. While the initial hopes of "men of various parties in England" had been that the 1830 expedition would see a favorable outcome from the French administration of the conquered "these writers were wrong and it will thus be permissable to an Englishman who shared those hopes to express in 1833 an equally frank opinion against the policies that today weigh upon Alger."<br /> <br /> Saxe Bannister 1790-1877 retired army captain and lawyer served as attorney-general of New South Wales 1823-25 but resigned after constant disputes over pay and returned to England.<br /> <br /> "Bannister had a keen interest in philanthropic causes and was concerned with the welfare of children convicts and especially Aborigines. He was instrumental in the establishment of the first infants' school in Sydney and published numerous pamphlets dealing with the subjects of transportation and government policy towards indigenous people . a lucid and engaging writer whose works reveal an agile and learned mind" ODNB.<br /> <br /> Ferguson notes two titles by Bannister published in 1830 An Appeal by a Colonial Law Officer of the Crown 1322 and Humane Policy; or Justice to the Aborigines of New Settlements essential to a due Expenditure of British Money and to the best interest of the Settlers 1323 and lists works on the Indians of North America and policies in South Africa.<br /> <br /> "France cannot press this conquest further without committing yet more crimes and greater crimes nor without danger to itself." Pages 19-30 are press extracts cited in Bannister's arguments.<br /> <br /> Bannister decries policies that enrich France at the expense of Alger and "recalls the project of extermination proposed against the millions of persons to whom the country belongs as lawfully as Paris belongs to the French." The press reports cited speak of the need "to clear the ground" "balayer le sol" to favor European colonization. The conscientious advocacy for the indigenous is consistent with Bannister's ealrier writings.<br /> <br /> Presentation copy. No holdings reported in North America.
