19351876Various places in Idaho & California 1935. Very good. 103 original photographs most 2.5 x 3.5 inches. Oblong octavo album coated stiff paper covers string-tied. Photos in corner mounts most with manuscript captions on album leaves. Later contemporary ownership inscription on front board. This photo album provides an excellent visual record of the life and work of Joseph Grosjean a member of Civilian Conservation Corps Company No. 569. This unit commanded by Lt. Roy Strange was the first CCC Company sent to Camp Horse Heaven in Coeur d'Alene in 1934 where they were assigned to road construction and control of "Blister Rust" tree fungus important work ordered by the U.S. Forest Service in order to prevent the loss of white pine forests in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. The photos here show many of the participants the camp site the ruggedness of the surroundings; a young Grosjean who was then eighteen years old is pictured in many of the shots. Other photos show activities such as clearing brush on Hog Lake Road and installing a gate and other roadwork on Thomas Mountain near present day Kachess Dam in Washington. <br/><br/>In 1935 Grosjean moved to work details that were based out of Camp Kenworthy and Keen Camp both near Hemet California although there is no indication that he was transferred to another unit. In the San Jacinto Valley his work including brush clearing maintaining fire breaks and several landscaping and irrigation projects. His unit apparently also had more time for and access to leisure activities while in California as there are a couple shots of CCC camp members "skiing in sunny California" and another snapshot of "Jean Harlow's house." Overall a fine document of Civilian Conservation Corps life in the somewhat divergent locales of Northern Idaho and Southern California. unknown books
19311520Fresno: Frank Kamiyama 1931. Near fine. Silver gelatin photograph 10 x 46 inches. Minor wear and soiling. Image strong and crisp. A handsome panoramic photograph by Japanese-American photographer Frank Kamiyama depicting the worshippers for the service to reinstate the Buddha's statue in the temple. The photo shows a large group of Japanese Americans assembled on the street in front of a bungalow-style building whose porch is draped with large curtains. The children who line the front row are in ceremonial and traditional costume; behind them at the center are three men wearing stoles of office; a band stands at the right end armed with brass and wind instruments; several spectators appear at the left edge of the image some in parked cars waiting to drive through the street. Most of the worshippers are women.Panoramic photographs such as this one were often taken to commemorate important events or celebrations and were particularly popular from the 1920s through the 1940s. Frank Kamiyama 1886-1974 was a Japanese-American photographer with a studio located on Tulare Street in Fresno. He was an important documentarian of the Japanese community in Fresno and the surrounding area. Given the modest nature of the temple here we presume this image to have been taken in an outlying community. Frank Kamiyama unknown books

Book Description: "The death of Robert Smithson in 1973 robbed postwar American art of an unusually creative practitioner and thinker. Smithson's pioneering earthworks of the 1960s and 1970s anticipated contemporary concerns with environmentalism and the site-specific character of artistic production. His interrogation of authorship the linear historiography of high modernism and the limitations of the museum prefigures key themes in postmodern criticism while underscoring the uniqueness of Smithson's own work as an artist filmmaker and writer. Gary Shapiro's elegant and incisive study of Smithson's career is the first book to address the full range of the artist's dazzling virtuosity. Ranging from Smithson's best known works such as Spiral Jetty and Partially Buried Woodshed to his photographs films and theoretical readings and writings Shapiro's masterful book analyzes Smithson's art in relation to the legacy of American art of the 1960s and central philosophical themes in its contemporary reception." -- with a bonus offer-- .

In-24 gr. (mm. 143x80), p. pelle bazana coeva, dorso a cordoni (picc. manc.) con decoraz. e titolo oro, pp. (8),110, ornato da delicate testatine e capilettera xilografati. Dedica al Re Luigi XIV, noto per il suo interesse per il Nord America. Il volume raccoglie due lunghe lettere del Padre gesuita Verbiest in cui descrive il suo viaggio nella Tartaria (Orientale e Occidentale, 1682-83) al seguito dell’Imperatore cinese Kang-hi, unitamente alla "Nouvelle descente des Espagnols dans l’isle de Californie, l’an 1683", primo resoconto del mancato tentativo da parte dell’Ammiraglio Isidro de Atondo y Antillòn e del missionario Padre Eusebio Francisco Kino, di stabilire una colonia spagnola in California, nella baia di La Paz. "Seconda edizione" di questa rara opera (la prima è del 1685). Cfr. The Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages,1771: “’La Nouvelle descente des Espagnols..’ is a faithful translation of the rare ‘Relaciòn puntual de la entrada del Almirante Isidro de Atondo y Antillòn a la grande Isla de la California, este ano de 1683’.” “Ferdinand Verbiest, missionario gesuita, matematico e sinologo (Fiandre 1632 - Pechino 1688). Inviato in Cina vi lavorò per più di 30 anni rendendosi benemerito non solo nelle scienze esatte ma anche nel sostenere e propagare la fede cristiana. Onoratissimo dall’imperatore Kang-hi, pubblicò vari scritti scientifici, soprattutto astronomici”. Così Diz. Treccani,XII, p. 699. Esemplare ben conservato.
