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!
1908770201908. Significant collection of bulletins clarifying the route of the S.S. Spokane in the summer of 1908. Each is naively illustrated with views from the ship - Sitka Seymour Narrows Taku Glacier Patterson Glacier and Devil's Thumb - as well as Alaska Natives and even baseball.<br /> <br /> An elegant passenger liner the S.S. Spokane was constructed by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. The vessel was launch in San Francisco in 1901 and made her first voyage to Seattle in 1902. A year later she had the distinction of transporting President Theodore Roosevelt and his party to Seattle. The Spokane was able to carry nearly 300 passengers at a time including 171 in first class.<br /> <br /> From these broadsides we learn the S.S. Spokane sailed from the Strait of Juan de Fuca and on to Kasaan Discovery Passage Queen Charlotte Sound and Juneau in August 1908. Three years later the ship was wrecked on an uncharted rock in Seymour Narrows with the loss of two lives. The Spokane was later raised and repaired returning to service in early 1912.<br /> <br /> Nine broadsides 8 1/2" x 11" or 280 x 215 mm printed on the recto only of the blue or white paper. Old folds with evidence of stapling to the upper left corner and some minor edgewear. unknown

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.
