19033176Various locations in Louisiana 1903. About very good. Twelve leaves illustrated with twenty silver gelatin photographs. Contemporary gray cloth photograph album string-tied front cover stamped in gilt "The Kodak Book." Noticeable soiling and rubbing to boards edges worn. Two photographs detached mild wear to a few pictures but overall nice condition. A charming collection of vernacular images of southern Louisiana in the first few years of the 20th century taken by local resident May Hill Wilkinson. Wilkinson has signed the inside front cover in pencil "Mrs. C A Wilkinson May Hill Lake Charles and Jennings." Additionally manuscript notes on the inside front cover a couple of slips inside the album and on the verso of one of the loose photographs also indicate Wilkinson's authorship of the pictures per her daughter Lyllis who indicates the pictures were taken before she was born in Jennings in 1904. Wilkinson's photographs mostly depict scenes on the waters of Lake Charles and Lake Arthur but also include a handful of scenes in the wooded areas around Jennings.<br /> <br /> A particularly striking photograph captures an oil field fire in Evangeline Louisiana according to a later note from Lyllis opposite the photo; Evangeline is only six miles from Jennings and was the site of the first oil strike in Louisiana in September 1901. Wilkinson's photograph captures a billowing cloud of smoke at left with men and oil derricks visible to the right. This is likely one of the earliest vernacular photographs of the Evangeline Oil Field which would bring untold riches to the people of Jennings. A nice mixture of images from a time and place rarely seen in vernacular photographs. unknown

19106626New Orleans; New York: The Board of Trade; Printed by H. R. Elliot & Co. Printers and Embossers 1910. Stapled booklet 10.25 x 15.25 cm. 14 unnumbered leaves; printed text decorated with red borders on rectos only. Cover title: Recipes for Cooking Rice. Author information inferred from external evidence. Printer from rear panel of wrappers. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. A promotional publication designed “to create a greater interest†in a foodstuff that had yet to become a staple in many parts of the United States. With a dozen recipes including Gumbo Soup Jambalaya Belle Calas fritters Rice Pudding Riz au Lait. ~ The phrase “Louisiana Rice Exhibit†can be found in reference to displays in the agricultural halls of world’s fairs – the World’s Columbian Exposition Chicago 1893 for instance as well as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition St. Louis 1904 – but in the event the phrase is better understood not as an installation but as a program. The New Orleans Board of Trade had indeed exploited opportunities to educate the public by such means cf A. C. Cantley “Rice Display by Louisiana at World's Fair of 1904†The Planter and Sugar Manufacturer 32 no. 7 February 13 1904 page 121 but it would have been highly unlikely for booklets such as How to Cook Rice to have been produced specifically for them without bearing any mark of the association. Moreover Louisiana Rice Exhibits so-named were also staged at parish fairs livestock shows even horse races. Their visual aspect was meant to entrance and amuse. “The New Orleans Board of Trade made a very splendid exhibit†a trade paper reported “at the National Farm and Livestock Show with a display of all the products it handles with the centerpiece a working model of a rice mill†“Current Rice News Notes†The Rice Journal and Southern Farmer 19 no. 12 December 1916 page 33. ~ Founded in 1880 the Board itself coordinated among many other activities rice shipments from mills in Louisiana and to a smaller extent from eastern Texas and Arkansas too. In this case their printing contract with H. R. Elliot & Co. places the publication later than the Chicago Exposition as this form of name was not in use until after 1900 “The Manufacturing Stationer†Walden’s Stationer and Printer 31 Spring 1909 page 16. The date of issue proposed here rests on reports that the Board of Trade distributed booklets in or perhaps slightly before 1910 a note for example from the American Poultry World recorded that recipes from the Louisiana Rice Exhibit of New Orleans had been received 1 no. 5 March 1910 pages 354-355. ~ Interior clean and bright. Stapled in ivory wrappers with gilt illustration of rice plants overseen by a pelican in honor of the Pelican State. Near fine.

19116877Crowley La: The Association; Printed by Signal Printing Co 1911. Small booklet 14.75 x 9 cm. 20 pages. Illustration. Printer from page 1. Date range of publication determined from internal and external evidence. Cover title: The World Food Rice: Eaten By All Peoples Adapted to All Climes. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. An attractive collection of recipes from Cajun Country or Acadiana as it has been dubbed since the 1960s intended for distribution by mail upon request and designed to promote the consumption of rice. A memento too of a particular feat of capitalist engineering leading to the emergence of a state-of-the-art agricultural industry. Includes hints for boiling and seasoning and testimony regarding nutrition supplied by the United States Department of Agriculture. Among the twenty entries: Rice Gumbo Soup Red Beans and Rice Rice Jambalaya Daube with Rice Rice Waffles Rice Custard. ~ The so-called Rice Belt along the Gulf assumed its profile during the era when risiculture in the Carolinas and Georgia was declining above all in the decades following the Civil War. Most of the rice long cultivated on plantations of the South Atlantic had been for export to the United Kingdom and northern Europe – rice had never been a staple of the American diet – but competition there from developing Asian markets devastated the South Atlantic trade. Meanwhile a number of planters in the Gulf discerned cost advantages to shifting focus from sugar cane to rice. And in a fateful coincidence by the mid-1880s the entire region began to attract the attention of agronomists and entrepreneurs from the Midwest a significant number of them from or educated in Iowa looking to invest in the sparsely populated coastal prairie and especially in the southwestern third of Louisiana that is the twenty or so parishes inhabited chiefly by francophone Acadians. ~ But their project would need to include an expansion of the domestic market. Cooperative arrangements between corporate land speculators settlement recruiters and commercial promoters virtually invented a new industry out of whole cloth uniting the interests of farmers millers and the burgeoning railroads the overview on which this outline leans is that by Peter Coclanis “White Rice: The Midwestern Origins of the Modern Rice Industry in the United States†Rice: Global Networks and New Histories edited by Francesca Bray et al. New York: Cambridge University Press 2015 pages 291-317. A Few Rice Recipes is but one document then of a coordinated regime of marketing pamphlets newspaper notices farm-show exhibits and sightseeing tours designed to advertise the benefits of rice consumption beyond the immediate orbit of Cajun Country. Not only did initiatives of largely Midwestern origin succeed in transforming the economy of southwestern Louisiana but they also attracted government-funded support in the guise of experimental agriculture stations – evident here in quotations from reports by the Department of Agriculture. The Rice Association of America finally was one of the trade cooperatives organized in the 1890s by Seaman Knapp 1833-1911 a native of New York who had moved to Iowa in his youth to farm and to promote the interests of large-tract agriculture. Soon enough it would spawn the Rice Millers’ Association which remains one of the oldest United States agribusiness trade groups in continuous operation. ~ Among the Iowans Knapp lured to Louisiana was the president of the Association whose name heads the list of officers on page 1 of A Few Rice Recipes George Hathaway 1853-1935. He was elected in April 1910 but the span of months for the booklet’s appearance in print can be narrowed: a quotation from the September 1910 issue of the national newspaper Leslie’s Weekly occupies page 2; and the untimely death of Henry Kahn a vice-president listed on page 1 was reported in newspaper notices to have occurred on 16 March 1911. ~ In stapled wrappers with an illustration on the front panel depicting a girl nestled amongst rice culms and perched atop a globe showing the rice belt at its center. A bit of light rubbing to the wrappers; a small adhesion mark to the top of the rear panel otherwise very good. Unrecorded. OCLC locates no copies; not in Brown Cagle or Uhler.

Old folds moderate toning and foxing short closed tear along one fold line a few small instances of ink burn. Overall good condition. An interesting document of legal testimony involving numerous named slaves in Louisiana in 1836 ranging in age from one year to almost thirty years of age and including seven children. According to the docketing the document is effectively a "Title to Slaves." The deponents were two local citizens John Bills and Andrew Black who had "personal knowledge of the fact that James D. Stuart and his wife Mary Gayle are now and have been for the last ten years & upwards the bona fide owners and possessors of the following named slaves: Juba Aged 25 and Sicily his wife aged 22 to whom have been born the children Braxton aged six years and Dan aged 3 years. Also the negro woman Celia aged 28 years and her children Mary 11 years Margaret 8 years Charley 6 years Sarah three years which slaves Juba Sicily & Celia were acquired by inheritance from the estate of Christopher Gayle. And they further depose that the negro woman Rachel aged 17 years was inherited by the said Stuart from the estate of his deceased mother.and that the said Rachel has now a child named Jacob of the age of one year." The document is signed by Black Bills and the Justice of the Peace Daniel D. Avery. Documents involving slave inheritance of and subsequent ownership by not one but both members of a marriage are exceedingly rare. October 25 unknown
