1853218388Japan. Circa1853. Two black and white woodblock kawarabans 18 x 24cm some light staining at margins but overall very good. A black-and-white kawaraban popular broadsheet woodblock print showing Commodore Matthew Perry's flagship the Mississippi at the time of his visit to Japan in 1853. The text accompanying the carefully depicted ship gives the dimensions of the vessel and other details including the number of crew. It then goes on to give an interesting summary of world geography explaining to readers that the world has four great oceans and six continents and that Japan is situated in the east of Asia. They are also told that America lies 5000 ri about 10500 miles to the east of Japan and that its capital is Washington. On the second sheet with an illustration of a steam ship it gives the sizes of the boat and its crew. It also refers to the speed and the distance a steam ship is able to cover and amazes with the vast distance the ship can travel. <br> <br>The kawaraban is a vivid illustration of the astonishment with which Japanese people responded to the coming of Perry and his "Black Ships" and of the curiosity about the outside world which this event generated. The Mississippi was particularly impressive because it was a steam-powered paddle ship. In this image we see not only the ship and its rigging and paddle-wheel but also the small figures of crew members including one starting to climb the mast and another apparently sounding the depth of the water. . unknown

1898WRCAM52771Omaha 1898. Broadside approximately 10 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches. Previously folded some separations along old fold lines. Tanned corners slightly chipped. Good. A curious survival from the 1898 Trans- Mississippi Exposition held in Omaha promoting the sale of Mongolian jade carvings at a booth in the International Hall of the fair. The advertisement emphasizes the obscurity of the region of origin "the Chinese population could not understand their Mongolian brothers except through writing" and the convoluted journey of the artwork to America "carried in wicker baskets suspended on a pole resting on the shoulders of two men". "Were it not for the fact that the workers receive but a small daily wage hundreds of dollars would be represented in many of the pieces; as it is it is possible to dispose of them at moderate prices. An opportunity is thus offered to lovers of the curious and the beautiful to secure something entirely new in the art world something too of great artistic merit." unknown books

19071873Southeastern Missouri 1907. About very good. Seventy-six silver gelatin photographs on twenty grey card leaves each image approximately 3.75 x 2.25 inches. Square grey cloth album string-tied. Light wear and soiling to covers. Contemporary ink inscription on front pastedown. Light foxing and soiling to leaves heaviest on first three leaves. Leaves lightly warped. Two images excised. A charming vernacular photograph album depicting life along the Mississippi River in the vicinity of the declining town of Gayoso Missouri. The caption on the front pastedown reads "These pictures made in the year of 1907 by Tom Pierce & Ed Cappoc at Goyaso Mo." Gayoso located on the banks of the Mississippi in the southeasternmost tip of the state was settled in 1799 and incorporated in 1851 as the county seat of Pemiscot County. By 1898 the movement of the river threatened to swamp the town and the county seat was moved to several miles south to Caruthersville. Though the river changed course and briefly spared Gayoso by 1900 its post office closed and today any remnants are buried deep in the silt of the Gayoso Bend Conservation Area. The present images show the town disappearing as the river eats away at large swathes of its surrounding land.<br/><br/>Several of the images depict flooding and high water -- trees standing in water men wading to cut lumber riverbank erosion and one image seems to show a collapsed pier. Other views show boats traveling up and down the Mississippi some ferrying lumber several large paddlewheelers and men poling lumber on rafts. One image shows a horse and buggy on what we presume to be the main street of Gayoso with a storefront visible behind the rig. Many of the images show the hardy folk who are still living in the remains of the dying town -- a woman and child in front of a clapboard house with a rotting porch and crumbling roof; a group of boys and three dogs all laughing in front of a building that may be the schoolhouse; one man apparently giving a haircut to his friend seated in front of some steps high water visible amongst the trees in the background; and several images which show men and boys logging and lumbering some of them standing in waist-high water while they fell doomed stands of trees. The album captures a slice of life on the Mississippi River at the turn of the century with all its attendant hardships commercial opportunities and dangers. unknown books
