H8228Hardcover. Good. Large dark red leatherette binder housing 54 8x10 photos often accompanied by the original negative marked INVESTIGATION on title sheet from the Pittsburgh law firm McArdle Harrington Feeney & McLaughlin seemingly detailing safety hazards of mainly PA Railroad cars including a few interior shots and some of the train yards showing closeup shots of rust corrosion cracks warping and other issues. McArdle Harrington Feeney & McLaughlin was a well known firm that often was employed by plaintiffs against railroad companies in cases involving personal injury. This may be one of the firm's exhibits used in the case Mignona vs. PA Railroad from 1964 but there are several other possibilities -- all late '50s and early '60s. Some of the photos have an unintended haunting quality to them. hardcover
1885Cat361Chicago Illinois: C. D. Mosher National Historical Photographer to Posterity 125 State Street 1885. Albumen photograph on printed “Memorial Portrait†cabinet mount approximately 4 ¼ x 6 ½ inches. The elaborate printed verso advertisement promotes Mosher’s ambitious Centennial-era “Memorial Portraits†project and bears contemporary manuscript identifications reading “Laura Smith Haviland†and noting her authorship of A Woman’s Life Work. Very good condition with light surface wear. A late-life portrait of the celebrated abolitionist and Underground Railroad conductor Laura Smith Haviland 1808–1898 one of the most courageous white allies of the antislavery movement in the Old Northwest. Born into a Quaker family in Ontario and raised in Michigan Haviland devoted her life to reform causes including abolition women’s rights prison reform and temperance. With her husband Charles she founded the Raisin Institute near Adrian Michigan one of the earliest racially integrated schools in the United States. Haviland became deeply involved in the Underground Railroad during the 1840s and 1850s assisting hundreds of freedom seekers to escape through Michigan to Canada. At considerable personal risk she also traveled repeatedly into slave states including Kentucky and Tennessee to aid formerly enslaved families and to challenge slaveholders directly. During the Civil War she continued relief work among freedpeople in the South and remained active in reform movements well into old age.<br /> <br /> The portrait was produced by Chicago photographer Charles D. Mosher 1829–1897 as part of his Centennial-era “Memorial Portraits†project an ambitious attempt to assemble thousands of photographic likenesses of notable Americans to be preserved for future generations. Mosher exhibited hundreds of such portraits at the 1876 Centennial Exposition and later sealed many of them within a “Memorial Safe†intended to be opened at the American Bicentennial in 1976. The project sought to memorialize politicians military leaders reformers entrepreneurs and other public figures; known participants included leading African American figures such as Frederick Douglass and Mifflin Wistar Gibbs along with prominent Chicago politicians and civic leaders.<br /> <br /> An evocative photographic likeness of one of the most fearless women associated with the Underground Railroad preserved within one of the most unusual commemorative photographic projects of the nineteenth century. C. D. Mosher, National Historical Photographer to Posterity, 125 State Street unknown
