1907WRCAM54628Juneau; White Pass 1907. Two photographs each approximately 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches. Slight wear at edges. Captioned in negative. Very good. Two attractive original photographs by noted Skagway photography firm Case & Draper. William Case and Horace Draper followed the excitement of the Klondike Gold Rush and went North in 1898. They stayed and worked in partnership from a studio in Skagway until 1907-1908. The first of these photos depicts three armed men on a hillside at White Pass Alaska with two large mountain goats strung up after a hunt. The second is a captivating landscape of Juneau and the Gastineau Channel with the town of Douglas in the distance. Impressive examples from these significant Alaskan photographers. unknown books

Milano, 1960, stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 241/256 con fotografie e tavole fotografiche in nero e a colori ed una cartina. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
