Vernacular Photograph Album Documenting Work with the Ontario Forestry Branch and the Dominion Forest Service in Western Canada; with Some Additional Interesting Photos of Time Spent Employed in the Orange Groves of Florida

19301441Various locations in Ontario Alberta and the Southern U.S. 1930. Very good. 165 photographs on forty-four leaves. Most images approximately 3 x 4 inches or 2 x 3 inches with a few larger. Oblong octavo. Original brown cloth album with black paper pages string-tied. Light wear to album first leaf detached. Internally clean with some minor wear most images captioned. Interesting photo album made by a young man working in the Canadian forestry service in the 1920s. Images here document time spent along Loch Lomond and Lake Superior in Ontario and later on Mount Shunda in the Canadian Rockies. There is also a section of images covering work in the orange groves of Florida and in the Southern United States. The album is captioned throughout -- extensively so in the segment on Alberta -- providing context and humor to the images. Our author who is pictured but not identified was employed by the Ontario Forestry Branch in 1928 around Loch Lomond and Lake Superior just south of Thunder Bay. Approximately seventy of the images relate to this region. They show the scenery wildlife and the camps and operations of the forestry service. Most are captioned in some way: "The Cook loading a canoe"; "Cliffs at mouth of Carp River"; "O.F.B. camp Loch Lomond survey." Several later images show the Temagami district of northern Ontario including the Mattagami River and its dam as well as an image captioned "Indian cabin flooded by Mattagami River." The last several leaves of the album are devoted to the author's work with the Dominion Forest Service in Alberta and British Columbia in 1930. These photos are generally larger 4 x 5 inches and more extensively captioned. The opening image is a panoramic shot of the Big Horn Mountains in Alberta seen forty miles distant. The next shows the small town of Brazeau: "Looking north from Brazeau to Mt. Baldy on left and Mt. Shunda on right. Brazeau is a coal mining town 120 miles west of Red Deer Alberta and lies just inside the first range i.e. Brazeau Mts. Elevation of town 4000 ft. Mt. Shunda 6700 ft." This series of sixty photographs depicts the area around Mt. Shunda including sweeping scenery and towns as well as the forestry camps and activities. One image of three men in a tent from out on the trail is captioned "Over night camp from main camp to reach out-of-the way territory. Frank Mac and Obey. Note it rained over night also note holes in tent." There are mentions of the Canadian Pacific Railway and several images of stations and tracks. Incongruously placed in the middle of the album is a group of images from 1925 documenting time spent working in the American South. These thirty-five images briefly document the trip to Florida: "Crossing the Roanoke River Virginia"; "On a road in Georgia" depicting a Black man in a goat-drawn cart; "Two tramps outside Philadelphia". There are individual images of the orange grove "Young trees about 5 yrs. out Hiawassee Orange Grove Florida along with shots of the cabin wash day loading fertilizer for the grove and the "View from our shack." Altogether an interesting album of images documenting one young man's time in the Canadian Forestry Service as well as his earlier adventures working with trees in the American South. unknown books

Beach William N.: Canada Photographica: Alaska PhotographicaABAA

THREE LARGE PHOTOGRAPH ALBUMS CONTAINING OVER 600 PHOTOGRAPHS OF ALASKA AND THE CANADIAN ROCKIES DURING THE 1930s COMPILED BY AUTHOR WILLIAM N. BEACH

1937WRCAM54535Alaska & Canada 1937. Three albums with 601 photographs each approximately 3 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches with additional ephemera such as news clippings and a hunting license. Oblong folio. Contemporary full red morocco gilt tooled by the Harcourt Bindery. Photos mounted directly on stiff grey album leaves. Very light wear to hinges and spine ends. Contents generally fine. Very good overall. Two volumes in red cloth slipcases. A magnificent and massive collection of over 600 photographs compiled by William N. Beach famed big game hunter and author of IN THE SHADOW OF MOUNT McKINLEY. The first two albums here document a journey made by Beach through the Canadian Rockies in August and September 1933. The third album focuses on his excursion through Alaska in 1937. All three postdate the publication of MOUNT McKINLEY which established Beach as an important figure in the world of big game hunting. According to one of the contemporary newspaper clippings tipped into the album Beach's hunting party on his second trip documented here "was after specimens of Alaskan wild life to be placed in the Smithsonian" with W.L. Brown curator of the Institute accompanying the party. Shortly after the trip an article by Beach entitled "With Moose and Caribou in Alaska" was published in EXPLORATION AND FIELD-WORK OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION IN 1937 and featured photography from the "Alaska" album present here. These expertly captured images of the Denali wilderness and the Rockies offer a rare and extraordinary glimpse not only into big game hunting but also into remote and pristine landscapes of these areas in the 1930s. An outstanding and impressive group of photographs. hardcover books

Canada: North West Rebellion: Blatchly WD. W. D.ABAA

THREE HANDSOME COLOR LITHOGRAPHS DEPICTING THREE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BATTLES DURING THE NORTH-WEST OR SECOND RIEL REBELLION

1885WRCAM54034Toronto: Toronto Lithographing Co. 1885. Three color lithographs. Cut Knife and Fish Creek: approximately 20 1/4 x 26 3/4 inches; Capture at Batoche: approximately 19 1/2 x 26 1/4 inches. Cut Knife and Fish Creek trimmed about 3/4 inch along the top margin and about 1 1/4 inches along left margin. Capture at Batoche trimmed slightly more but evenly in each margin and adhered to backing board. Overall good plus. A trio of rare battlefield views depicting three of the major skirmishes fought during the North-West Rebellion in Saskatchewan in 1885. This series of battles is also known by several other names including the Saskatchewan Rebellion the Northwest Uprising and the Second Riel Rebellion the first Riel Rebellion occurred near Manitoba in 1869 and is also known as the Red River Rebellion. Both the 1869 and 1885 actions were led by Louis Riel the leader of the MÃƒÂ©tis people. Chronologically the lithographs are as follows: 1 "Battle of Fish Creek." This battle occurred on April 24 1885 and resulted in a stunning victory when around 200 MÃƒÂ©tis soldiers overcame a superior force of 900 government soldiers and temporarily halted an advance on Batoche. 2 "Battle of Cut Knife." On May 2 1885 a force of Cree warriors held off a superior group of Canadian army units. 3 "The Capture of Batoche." Effectively the end of the rebellion the MÃƒÂ©tis were soundly defeated in the second week of May after they ran out of ammunition on the third day of fighting. This action forced Riel to surrender on May 15. The MÃƒÂ©tis are one of the recognized aboriginal groups in Canada who trace their roots to the first interaction between First Nations people and the earliest European settlers usually French and largely as a result of the fur trade. The MÃƒÂ©tis are among the earliest mixed-race people in Canada and developed a separate distinct culture based on their ancestral origins usually stemming from the coupling of an indigenous woman and a male European settler. By the 19th century the MÃƒÂ©tis were well- assimilated into French-Canadian culture and many worked as fur traders for the North-West Company or Hudson's Bay Company or supplied furs as independent trappers. When those companies pulled out of the Red River and Saskatchewan regions in the mid-to-late 1800s the Canadian government took over the land and began to enforce their will on the MÃƒÂ©tis people. The first armed conflict between the MÃƒÂ©tis and the Canadian provincial government occurred in 1869 in the Red River region where Louis Riel led an unsuccessful rebellion. Some fifteen years later the MÃƒÂ©tis formed their own provincial government in western Saskatchewan after hearing that the Canadian government was sending mounted police to enforce Canadian law in the region. This Second Riel Rebellion occurred in a series of skirmishes between the MÃƒÂ©tis and the Canadian armed forces between March 26 and May 12 1885. Though led by Louis Riel the MÃƒÂ©tis ultimately lost again to the Canadian government. Still both rebellions helped the MÃƒÂ©tis gain some measure of recognition and respect from the Canadian government that they would very likely not have earned otherwise. The lithographs were produced by the Toronto Lithographing Company purveyors of patriotic views of famous Canadian wars. In this case the company assigned W.D. Blatchly to paint the scenes for the 1885 conflicts; Blatchly was at the time one of the leading artists in all of Canada. An excellent series of lithographs illustrating three important events in the famous rebellion with outstanding display appeal. Toronto Lithographing Co. unknown books

Thirteen Real Photo Postcards Depicting First Peoples in British Columbia and Two from Alaska

19221349Various places in British Columbia & Alaska 1922. Very good. Fifteen real photo postcards. Light wear and soiling. Several with manuscript notations and/or postmarks on verso. A collection of real photo postcards depicting First Peoples and indigenous life in British Columbia with two images depicting similar scenes in Alaska. Taken by various photographers over the course of several years these images show native people in towns across the province. Identified locations include Radium Kitwanga Vernon Prince Rupert Victoria and Alert Bay. Identified photographers include W.W. Wrathall active in Prince Rupert in 1916; Henry Twidle Granite Bay 1922-1924; Trio Victoria 1914-1925; Vernon Photo Co. Vernon 1910-1920; Gowan-Sutton Co. Vancouver 1920-1925; and Elliott & Baglow North Vancouver 1907-1908. The Alaska photographs are attributed to Otto Schallerer who was active in Seward and later Ketchikan in the 1920s. An unidentified photograph shows a group of ten Inuit -- two men five women and three children -- smiling into the camera. The man wear traditional clothing made from skins while the women have on cotton dresses with gloves and fur hoods likely worn over their warmer clothes. An image attributed to Elliott & Baglow of North Vancouver depicts a large group titled "Indian Chiefs B.C." It shows nearly three dozen men arrayed for the camera outdoors all dressed in traditional headdresses and robes. Another striking image taken at Radium shows a family of Kootenay Indians posed in their buggy possibly outside their home. Several of the postcards show totem poles.
