1950233171950. American postwar economic growth and tourism throughout Clearwater Florida photographed by local photographer George Fulmer showing how the Sunbelt expansion operated through roadside motels downtown retail waterfront leisure automobile traffic and service businesses during the rapid growth of the 1950s. The photographs center on the commercial circulation that made Clearwater function as a visitor city spanning rate signage pitched to seasonal travelers motel courts arranged for car access beach parking filled with mid-century automobiles storefront streets where shoppers and pedestrians occupy the sidewalk and crowded dock scenes tied to marine recreation. Clearwater had developed as a resort community by the 1890s and local historical sources note that by 1957 it was known as the fastest growing city in America making this group a concentrated record of the urban and commercial expansion that turned Pinellas County's Gulf Coast into a major tourism economy. <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 72 items including 38 silver gelatin photographs and 34 negatives ranging from 3" x 4" to 4" x 5" contained in 10 photo studio envelopes. Most negatives are duplicates of the print photographs while some are unique images. Clearwater Florida c. 1950s. Repeated and variant views show commercial properties and tourist infrastructure from multiple angles including motels with bold seasonal signage reading "SUMMER RATES $5.00 PER COUPLE FROM APRIL 15 TO NOV. 15" "20 ROOMS $4.00 DOUBLE Apr. 1st-Dec. 1" and "REASONABLE RATES 4 UNITS $5.00 DOUBLE APRIS-JUN." Several prints and negatives picture motel exteriors room interiors with twin beds and lamps a modernist multi-story lodging property with projecting sign and glass-fronted office and a low roadside restaurant or motel building beneath a large fish sign. Other images move into the wider tourist economy: downtown street scenes with McCrory's and Maas Brothers Television signage a storefront reading "Clearwater's American Casuals" a Parsons Paint Co. facade a Brookside Service Travel Gas station advertising regular gasoline at 26 cents and waterfront scenes with rows of parked cars palm-lined drives crowded piers and a dock packed with men women and children waiting or disembarking. The negatives preserve the same emphasis on repeated commercial views indicating studio production for advertising promotional or business use; the group also retains photo studio envelopes inscribed by George Fulmer.<br /> <br /> These photographs place Clearwater within the broader postwar reordering of Florida's Gulf Coast where automobile ownership road travel beach recreation and commercial real estate development produced the built environment commonly identified with Sunbelt growth. Fulmer's images are strongest where they show the interdependence of businesses rather than isolated structures: lodging needed seasonal pricing and motor access downtown retail depended on pedestrian density and curbside traffic waterfront tourism required parking and dock circulation and roadside services converted through-travel into local spending. Visible edge wear light curling and routine handling marks to some prints and negatives; studio envelopes present. Overall good condition. A substantial visual record of how Clearwater's postwar visitor economy operated on the ground with concrete evidence of the businesses prices streets interiors and waterfront traffic that made tourism an urban system rather than a backdrop. unknown

1950233201950. Clearwater Florida photo archive by George Fulmer documenting a Gulf Coast city in the early postwar Sunbelt boom: downtown storefronts automobile traffic tourism businesses beauty shops laundromats pharmacies loan offices civic buildings youth music programs local entertainments and everyday commercial life. George Fulmer identified here through the studio sleeves and the Clearwater job file context worked as a commercial and civic photographer in a period when Pinellas County grew quickly with new residents new retail construction and an increasingly car centered downtown. <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 70 items including 34 silver gelatin photographs with 36 corresponding and unique large format negatives contained in 15 studio sleeves with some annotations ranging from 3" x 5" to 4" x 5" Clearwater Florida circa early 1950s. Storefronts and signs identify Billie Moran Hair Stylist Spotlite Cleaners Launderette Family Loan Co.

Original sleeves strengthen the local identification with handwritten client names addresses dates and job numbers including "Portal Office U.S. Post Office" "P.G.A. Clinic" "Family Loan Office" "Lane Pharm" "Harris Pharmacy" and "Helpy Selfy Laundry." More scenes place people inside the social and commercial interiors of the city: a woman stands beside a microphone while another plays piano; accordion players and guitarists perform before a seated audience in a hall draped with streamers; children and an adult handle rabbits in what appears to be a club or youth program setting; a school band director leans into a room packed with young musicians and music stands; workers stand at wash stations in a commercial laundry; golfers pose and shake hands near a clubhouse; a woman and man stand on a small platform before a seated crowd during what appears to be a staged presentation or prize event.<br /> <br /> These scenes belong to the years when Florida's west coast cities were advertising modern storefronts widening their commercial appeal and absorbing the population growth that followed World War II air conditioning road building and the state's aggressive promotion of itself as a place to live shop vacation and retire. For institutional collections the group supplies named evidence of how a single city looked and conducted business during the first great Sunbelt surge: not only landmark buildings and downtown traffic but service counters display windows local entertainment children's programs and the ordinary businesses that usually vanish first from the record. Light wear minor surface handling and expected age toning to prints and negatives with some sleeves worn from studio use; overall in very good condition. A strong regional archive of Clearwater's commercial and civic life still anchored to the working paperwork that identifies who hired Fulmer and what parts of the city he was asked to record. unknown

192053711Fort Pierce FL: n.p. 1920-1931. Oblong 4to. 12.25 x 7.5 in. 24 silver gelatin linen-backed photographs dated & negative number in lower margin of image each mounted on linen hinge sized 6.75 x 10.25 in. Contemporary limp pebbled leather post-binder yapp edges nickel-plated screw posts at gutter margin rounded corners wear rubbing w/o spine wear & minor loss to couple corners still a G exemplar with photos in excellent condition. This remarkable promotional photo album provides a series of photographs documenting the impact of the explosion of development interest in Florida during the Roaring 20s by offering a visual record over 11 years of the building and opening of the Port of Fort Pierce. The album opens with an image dated May 8 1921 showing the last 100 yards to be cut for the a 100 foot wide and 4 foot deep channel the Tuscawilla dredge finishing the last portions of the cut and finally the opening of the Fort Pierce Inlet to the sea which would scour the channel to a depth of 12 feet. A photo dated April 10 1924 shows the operation to dredge the inlet down to 25 feet in order to allow freighters and steamships to enter the Port. Due to erosion local interest began construction of another jetty in 1926 which is shown with railroad tracks stretching to the sea in December 1927 followed by images of the historic dredger the Corozal which had worked on digging the Panama Canal and was capable of dredging to a depth of 50 feet. Finally in Nov. 1929 the Port opened for business with the 4-masted lumber schooner Catherine Scott picking up a load of lumber for delivery to Cuba Feb. 5 1930 followed by the 2339 gross ton SS Betty Weems a Baltimore & Carolina Steamship Company freighter arriving amidst inaugural celebrations of the use of the Fort Pierce Port and opening. There are an addition number of photos up to July 1931 showing such ships as the oil tanker SS Herbert G. Wylie the SS Lillian a freighter owned and operated by A.H. Bull & Co. of New York and a number of other Baltimore & Carolina Steamships. Although the Port had been finished and opened by the end of 1929 the Great Depression and land bust in Florida resulted in such land developments as Indrio and San Lucie never being completed and the area would eventually prove successful as a Naval Amphibious Training Base during World War II with over 140000 troops trained and processed during the War. n.p., hardcover
1970231661970. Narcotics raids arrests rehabilitation scenes and evidence displays across Florida in press photographs and magazine pages. Photograph archive spanning Miami Fort Lauderdale Pasco County and related Florida sites from 1970 to the early 1990s establishing how drug control operated through police action newspaper circulation and treatment institutions during the War on Drugs. Produced for press use by newspaper staff photographers wire services and law enforcement publicity channels the group shows the public face of narcotics enforcement at the point when South Florida had become a major corridor in the national drug economy and anti drug policy was being made newly visible through staged photographs official briefings and widely circulated arrest imagery. Named figures included such as Bob Gladden Larry Csonka Jim Kiick Admiral Rickover Carl Mingo and several rehab subjects identified by hand on the versos. The photographs depict suspects detained searched paraded identified displayed beside seized contraband and in other cases shown within rehabilitation settings revealing how law enforcement courts newsrooms and treatment programs handled the same crisis through different institutional forms.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 18 press photographs including 16 silver gelatin press photographs and 2 wire photos approximately 8 x 10 inches Florida 1970 to early 1990s. The core images show narcotics policing in action: a helmeted officer beside a paddy wagon crowded with detainees; a bench filled with young men under detention in an interior holding space; two handcuffed men led from a courthouse or station entrance; a police-released mugshot with typed caption identifying former New England Patriots running back Bob Gladden after arrest in Fort Lauderdale on a marijuana charge; and a street arrest with an armed officer escorting a suspect between parked cars. Several photographs center on the staged display of evidence including tables covered with packets of drugs stacked currency pistols taped "cookie sheets" and open suitcases packed with bricks or cutting materials. One image shows a narcotics dog inspecting rows of luggage; another shows officials at microphones before a sign for the Vice President's National Narcotics Border Interdiction System; another records cocaine seized from a concealed boat compartment. The group also includes rehabilitation scenes with young adults identified en verso in cursive extending the archive beyond arrest photography into treatment culture. Versos carry a dense record of press handling and editorial use including Miami Herald staff photo stamps dated Dec. 15 1970 and Jan. 5 1971 a St. Petersburg Times credit and clipping backing for a Pasco County drug ring case dated May 29 1974 typed bureau captions circled editorial notations such as "cocaine" "marijuana" "drug raid" and "Operation Crackdown" plus handwritten shot descriptions and date-used stamps.<br /> <br /> The earliest prints fall at the threshold of the modern War on Drugs while later additions carry the record forward into the crack era and the more theatrical seizure photography of the 1980s and early 1990s. Florida is central to that story not only as a site of smuggling and interdiction but as a place where narcotics enforcement became highly visual with press conferences celebrity linked arrests tactical raids canine inspections and rehabilitation coverage all translated into newspaper images for public consumption. The present grouping combines an earlier core of related press photographs with later additions and it preserves a strong visual record of how narcotics control was communicated to the public through local papers wire distribution and agency captioning. Light surface wear minor edge and corner handling editorial markings and stamps to versos scattered adhesive residue and toning; overall very good condition. A concentrated Florida press record of the machinery publicity and human management of drug enforcement across two decades. unknown
