Leaves brittle corners chipped with mounted images clean and crisp. Pictorial work with mounted images of Alaskan natives taken by the photography firm of Winter & Pond in Juneau. Lloyd Valentine Winter 1866-1945 and Edwin Percy Pond 1872-1943 arrived in Juneau in 1893 establishing a curio and photography shop there. By 1896 they were advertising a catalog of photographs for sale. They documented the local natives the Klondike Gold Rush and life in Alaska producing many popular images of the region. The company existed for over fifty years operating under original ownership until 1945 and finally closing in 1956. <br/><br/>The images here are all of local native tribes including several of the Tlingit people. The front cover image is "Eskimo Girl" and shows a young woman in a fur parka and mittens with a tattoo on her chin. Other images are: "Old Tlingit Woman"; "Native Basket Weavers"; "Old Tlingit Indian"; "Takon Indian Doctor" which shows a medicine man standing and brandishing rattles; "Old Tlingit Women"; "Schwatka a Yukon Guide"; "Chilkat Chiefs in Dancing Costume"; "Old Auk Indian"; "Potlatch Dancers" depicting a large group of dancers in native dress outside; "Auk Indian Doctor"; "Native Curio Sellers" which shows two young women wrapped in furs seated behind baskets of their wares; and "Old Eskimo Woman."<br/><br/>The Albertype Company of Brooklyn produced many such handsome viewbooks and the present work is in line with their style and quality of publication. We locate copies in OCLC at fewer than ten institutions. The Albertype Co unknown books

1900177155Early 1900s or slightly later. An evocative group of photographs depicting daily life and seasonal migration among the Iñupiat people. The images are taken around time of the Nome Gold Rush 1899 to 1908 a period that brought a massive influx of prospectors and drastically altered the region's demographics. Nome gained worldwide attention during the gold rush and in its aftermath the Iñupiat people underwent profound cultural and environmental shifts. Increased contact with outsiders the rise of wage labour and the introduction of Western goods by miners missionaries and teachers led to a transition from a semi-nomadic lifestyle to life in permanent villages. After the boom ended Nome's population sharply declined falling from an estimated 20000 in the early 1900s to fewer than 1500 by the 1930s. The photographer George R. King 1866-1951 was widely published with his work appearing in Sierra Club publications and in National Geographic including the 1919 feature Eskimo Life. Despite his visibility little is known about his career. Mautz lists him simply as a photographer from Boston who recorded claims on the Seward Peninsula in 1907 p. 47. King's photographs together with those of Frank H. Nowell the Lomen Brothers and others provide an important visual record during a period of rapid change. One of the images was published in The New America and the Far East 1907-10 with the photographer unidentified. Five gelatin silver prints from 182 x 234 to 197 x 248 mm all with pencillings on verso three with photographer's ink stamp on verso. Two a little yellowed a few small marginal chips tears or creasing minor surface abrasions: a very good collection. Carl Mautz Biographies of Western Photographers 2018. unknown
