19108119C1910. Hadley/Alaska. around 1910-1920. Three different formats. Thirteen photographs. Original photographs black-white. Mostly full-page format without a framing. With commentaries at the back sides Swedish Language. Photographs with some minor crinkles at corners and little rubbing. Partly a bit faded at the edges but mostly still with good contrasts. Paper is a bit bent. Appropriate to its age and origin still in good condition. The thirteen photographs include different views on the former copper smelting town Hadley at the Prince of Wales Island Alaska US. In Hadley once the mined copper ores have been melted and processed later the extracted copper was shipped to other places. The photographs exist in three different formats: a small one ca. 164 x 215 cm a middle size ca. 191 x 241 cm and a bigger format ca. 20 x 252 cm. The black-white photographs still own their contrast although a few of them are fading a little bit at the edges. The thirteen photographs give us very different perspectives on this historical place: smelter buildings seen from the near and distanced overviews from a ship. Detailled views on the pier with rails on a building in construction in snow on a ship at the pier and on a cleared piece of land probably for new buildings. One photograph is even showing one of the ships for travelling called "Marion". A main overview owns a small stamp and note at the front: "Alaska Smelting & Refining Co. / General View Smelter Buildings". Most of the photographs own commentaries on the back sides in swedish language. Some with two or three lines a few with ten lines of text Please see the given fotografic examples. The photographs very probably have been made by a swedish engineer working at Hadley. There has been copper mining and extracting in Sweden long before Alaska became a part of the US. One photograph shows two little girls with blond hair staying in the wood. It seems to be a family portrait maybe they have been the daughters of this swedish man. There is also an envelope newer one by Svenska Handelsbanken with the handwritten swedish title: "Fotografier fran Hadley Alaska". Very rare historical material from Alaska in the first two decades of the 20th century! unknown
Three different formats. Nine photographs. Original photographs, black-white. Mostly full-page format, without a framing. Some with short notes at the back side (English Language). Photographs with some minor crinkles at corners and little rubbing. Partly a bit faded at the edges but mostly still with good contrasts. Paper is a bit bent. Appropriate to its age and origin still in good condition. The nine photographs include different views on the former copper smelting town Hadley at the Prince of Wales Island (Alaska, US). In Hadley once the mined copper ores have been melted and processed, later the extracted copper was shipped to other places. The photographs exist in three different formats: a small one (ca. 16,4 x 21,5 cm), a middle size (ca. 19,1 x 24,1 cm) and a bigger format (ca. 20 x 25,2 cm). The black-white photographs still own their contrast although few of them are fading a bit at the edges. The photographs are giving us different perspectives on this place: smelter buildings seen from the near and distanced overviews from a ship. One photograph is even showing a smelter building from the inside. A few others show the nature and waters around the town. We also can see the small pier where once the copper has been prepared for shipping. The main overview owns a small stamp and note at the front: "Alaska Smelting & Refining Co. / General View of Hadley Smelter". A few others own a small note on their back side (english language). A photograph showing the waterways around the town for example is titled: "'Hole in the wall' by Hadley, Alaska". Another one was titled: "View to the north from waterbank showing boilerstacks and wharfes". The photographs very probably have been made by a swedish engineer working at Hadley. Other photographs from the same collection (second offer) own a lot of swedish notes and commentaries at their back sides and contain some more private views. Very rare historical material from Alaska in the first two decades of the 20th century!

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.
