1945206941945. Unidentified U.S. Army soldier photo album and associated documents 1945 records American military life in Honolulu during the closing phase of World War II including the public celebration of Victory over Japan Day and the continued enforcement of wartime controls over civilian movement. Hawaii functioned as a central command base for U.S. operations in the Pacific and remained under martial law for much of the war shaping both military routine and civilian access. The album documents soldiers in barracks training fields and recreational spaces as well as street scenes in Honolulu and rural Hawaiian communities providing visual evidence of the interaction between stationed troops and local populations. Images of soldiers drilling with M1 Garand rifles and sidearms alongside informal photographs of leisure and camaraderie situate the compiler within the daily rhythms of military occupation. The inclusion of a large public parade marking the end of the war with participation by units of the Women's Army Corps anchors the album within a specific moment of transition from wartime mobilization to demobilization.<br /> <br /> Loose photo album consisting of six double sided leaves containing 126 sepia toned silver gelatin photographs accompanied by a small group of military and civilian ephemera all dating to 1945. Photographs are extensively captioned and depict Honolulu street scenes rural landscapes taverns filled with American servicemen military facilities including barracks and mess halls and training exercises demonstrating firing positions and weapons handling. One sequence documents the VJ Day parade in Honolulu with large assembled crowds. The archive also includes six official letters a war ration book a mileage ration ticket book and a tire inspection record belonging to a civilian woman seeking authorization to travel to Hawaii reflecting the bureaucratic process required under wartime restrictions. Two newspaper clippings profiling American servicemen are mounted on the final leaf.<br /> <br /> This grouping brings together frontline-adjacent military documentation and home front administrative records illustrating how wartime governance extended beyond the battlefield into civilian mobility and domestic logistics. The travel documents demonstrate the regulatory environment imposed by military authorities in Hawaii where entry required formal approval while the photographs capture both the operational infrastructure of the Pacific theater and the social world of enlisted men stationed far from the continental United States. The juxtaposition of parade imagery training exercises and everyday scenes of urban and rural Hawaii provides a layered record of American presence in the islands at the moment of war's conclusion. Chipping and wear to the margins of album leaves; photographs remain well adhered with clear legible captions. Overall good condition. unknown
59813c.1865. The image is a little faded but is otherwise in very good condition. Queen Emma of the Sandwich Isles Hawaii born 1836 died 1885 strongly nationalist and also pro-British. She visited England in 1865 and met with Queen Victoria who recorded the occasion in her diary - 'After luncheon I received Queen Emma the widowed Queen of the Sandwich Islands or Hawaii. Met her in the Corridor & nothing could be nicer or more dignified than her manner. She is dark but not more so than an Indian with fine feathers features & splendid soft eyes. She was dressed in just the same widow's weeds as I wear.' Both Queens had lost sons in infancy indeed Victoria had agreed to be godmother by proxy to Emma's son shortly before he died in 1862. This photograph must have been taken on that visit to England in 1865. It is included in a small photograph album also containing cartes of QUEEN VICTORIA PRINCE EDWARD and PRINCESS ALEXANDRA PRINCESS CHARLOTTE OF PRUSSIA 2 views of PORTSLADE CHURCH Brighton 6 views of gardens a croquet party the ruins of the MANOR probably PORTSLADE and 'UNCLE EVELYN'S RUINS' 5 female portraits mostly by Brighton or Lewes photographers and 4 reproductions of Victorian genre paintings.

1946230681946. Japanese-American Women's Education Postwar Hawaiʻi identified Japanese-American university school girl's photo album. Oʻahu Territory of Hawaiʻi 1946-1950 spanning the years right after World War II. Approximately 260 silver gelatin photographs documenting the daily life friendships education and civic participation of a Japanese American young woman living on Oʻahu in the immediate postwar period. The photographs are mounted in a 9" x 11" woven album with photos cornered in on black board pages. Images range from small snapshot-format prints to larger horizontal photographs. Following Pearl Harbor Hawaii was initially considered a war zone and the Japanese Americans there were subject to heavy surveillance and civil rights violations until the war ended in 1945. This album ranges 1946 to circa 1950 with one loose photograph predating the album by approximately a decade likely depicting the compiler as a child. The compiler is identified by name in captions as Reiko who also went by "Rei" Reiko was a Japanese American college student and Pre-Med Club member residing on Oʻahu.<br /> <br /> This substantial and unusually well-captioned album offers a deeply personal record of Japanese American civilian life in Hawaiʻi following the end of World War II and the lifting of martial law. The first third of the album features extensive handwritten captions frequently identifying individuals locations and events while the latter portion contains fewer annotations but continues the visual narrative of family friendship and place. Reiko's life is documented across academic social and community spheres depicting college friendships Pre-Med Club activities leisure outings and participation in Laulima a Hawaiian community support organization emphasizing mutual aid and collective responsibility. Numerous images record friendships among young women posed confidently in dresses skirts slacks and swimsuits as well as traditional Japanese dress and Hawaiian dress and leis showcasing cross-cultural identity. Family life appears alongside repeated photographs of Lorraine Nakamuta age 2½ likely a relative shown in candid domestic and outdoor scenes some in western attire and a few photos playfully dancing in a straw hula skirt. The album also serves as a visual geographic survey of mid-century Hawaiʻi with identified sites including Halemaʻumaʻu Crater sugar cane fields irrigation infrastructure such as a wooden pipe transporting water Robert Louis Stevenson's hut beaches valleys and residential neighborhoods.<br /> <br /> Public and civic life figure prominently. Several sequences document an Hawaiian beauty pageant as well as floats marching bands and crowds celebrating the Philippine Islands Independence Day Parade July 4 1946 Honolulu situating Japanese American life within Hawaiʻi's broader multiethnic and postcolonial Pacific context. These images underscore the reemergence of public celebration and civic participation after wartime restriction while highlighting interethnic solidarity and shared urban space. Taken together the album constitutes a rare large-scale vernacular record of Japanese American womanhood education and community engagement during the transitional years between World War II and Hawaiʻi's statehood era. The album remains intact and structurally sound with thick board pages and photographs securely attached using original corner mounts. A few photos loose. Minor age-related wear is present including light scuffing to covers. Handwritten captions remain largely legible throughout. Overall very good condition. This album is an exceptional primary-source document for institutional collections offering sustained visual evidence of Japanese American youth culture women's education in the sciences and everyday resilience in postwar Hawaiʻi enriched by named individuals identified locations and detailed contemporaneous annotations. unknown
19575046Honolulu: Tenrikyo Hawaii Mission 1957. Very good. 1632365pp. including 32pp. of photographically-illustrated plates errata slip laid in. Original orange cloth gilt spine titles housed on the original cardboard slipcase with black spine lettering. Very minor wear to boards internally clean. Small puncture and some wear to spine of slipcase. A rare history of the Tenrikyo Mission in Hawaii beginning with the founding of its first church in Honolulu in 1929. Tenrikyo was a new Japanese religion founded in the 19th century in Japan by Nakayama Miki. The present work also includes information on many other churches on the islands including the Hilo Church Kauai Church the Maui Church and more. The photographic plates contain portraits of some mission members views of churches scenes from church life and more. The text is mostly in Japanese save for a fifteen-page section printing a series of English-language lectures on the Tenrikyo religion by members of the Hawaiian mission. OCLC records just a single physical copy of this rare Japanese-American work at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Tenrikyo Hawaii Mission unknown
192812860Various locations in Hawaii and Japan 1928. 12 leaves illustrated with 123 mounted sepia-toned photographs many captioned in the image area occasional manuscript captions on the album leaves. Oblong folio. Contemporary pictorial cloth illustrated with various Japanese motifs string tied. Minor wear to cloth. Internally clean. Very good. An attractive and informative vernacular photograph album memorializing the experiences of Protestant missionaries in the Pacific. Protestant missionaries came to Hawaii starting in the 1820s and eventually became quite socially and politically influential. The first Protestant missionaries arrived in Japan in the mid-1840s. They were relegated to treaty ports and prohibited from proselytizing but once these restrictions were lifted they were fairly successful with 300 churches and 34000 converts by 1889. Their main avenue was education and by the 1920s they were well established in this sector. The present album of photographs were taken by an American missionary in Hawaii and Japan in 1927 and 1928. It is not entirely clear whether the photographer did any missionary work in Hawaii or if it was just a stop on the way to Japan; the photos from Hawaii show Honolulu harbor from the deck of the President Madison the "Club House" and Diamond Head.<br /> <br /> The photographs from Japan are more clearly missionary. The photographer was involved in teaching in Kyoto; captions include "Kami Kyoku Bishamon Cho" listed as a theological school in the 1928 Japan Mission Year Book "Japanese Language School" "The Faculty" "Nihongo Faculty" and "St Agnes Ena -- Music." There are two St. Agneses in the Year Book both middle schools one in Tokyo and one in Kyoto. Two photos of an older Japanese man in a clerical collar captioned "Mr Hayakawa" suggest this is the St. Agnes in Kyoto as Mr. K. Hayakawa is listed as the head of that school. Other individuals listed in the Year Book include Sally Rembert Thora Johnson and "Maxine" who is probably Maxine Schannep with the ABCFM. Generally the school shots are exteriors of buildings and people posing outside of them; there are also shots of Christmas trees at St. Agnes the students of "Helen’s Kindergarten" in Koriyama girls in school uniform with deer at Nara Park and several of the nurse's home at St. Luke's Hospital in Tokyo.<br /> <br /> Other photos show life around Kyoto and other cities including Nikko and Fukui. Most of the men are in Western dress while the women and children wear kimono. Two photos of Buddhist monks included in the album were taken by Japanese photographer Kurokawa Suizan; these show a KomusŠin a tengai hat playing the flute and a kasa-hatted monk on the steps of a building. Finally some uncaptioned shots show a procession taking place in front of an audience. Some in the procession carry flags a few are on horseback and a few carry plants on their heads and part of the procession carries a litter.<br /> <br /> Overall the album documents both religious education and everyday life in late 1920s Japan; of particular interest to historians of Protestant missionaries. unknown

1943WRCAM55582Hawaii 1943. 240 photographs including twenty-seven photo postcards measuring 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 to 8 x 10 inches the majority 2 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches corner- mounted; one certificate. Oblong folio. Textured brown cloth with gilt stamps of American eagle with shield and palm trees on front board "Aloha Hawaii" stamped in black brown cord binding. Presentation inscription on first leaf. Some wear to extremities front hinge just starting to crack. A few photos mildly rumpled but overall extremely well-preserved. Very good. An engaging album depicting an eerily peaceful Hawaii in the days leading up to and during the American participation in World War II in the Pacific. Prepared by Charles Ryan for Viola Suhar inscribed to her and with her address written beneath the Trader Vic's certificate the album begins with Ryan's "Trading License" from Trader Vic's in Honolulu dated October 21 1943. It then proceeds directly to twenty photos of planes at "Hickem" i.e. Hickam Field in Honolulu the principal Army Air Force base in Hawaii during the war. These photos were likely taken before the attack on Pearl Harbor as Hickam sustained substantial damage during that attack. Then follows numerous tourist photos of Hawaii many annotated with location. Included are several photos of "hula girls" surfers shots of downtown Honolulu beaches mountains and landmarks such as Lau Yee Chai Chinese restaurant the Chamberlain House Ka Hale Kamalani Iolani Palace Waikiki Beach and the Aloha Tower. In the midst of this are nine uncaptioned photos apparent reproductions of ships under attack and one of sailors escorting caskets. <br> <br> Also included are several photos including one handcolored image of sailors relaxing on the beach at Camp Andrews and at "The Breakers" the Navy beach club in Waikiki; sailors at work and doing laundry; and then two sets of photos one set enlarged of a particular sailor with one of him on a motorcycle and the second with his shirt open and tattoos visible which are presumably of Charles Ryan. Finally there are nine photos of the Church of Latter Day Saints Temple in Laie outside of Honolulu including a large 8 x 10 inches image of the entire site. It seems unlikely that Ryan was a Mormon considering the tattoos and the visit to Trader Vic's so perhaps this was simply part of his travels throughout Hawaii. Ryan was almost certainly in the military most likely the Navy but we could not find conclusive evidence of his service. Viola Suhar was a teacher in Perth Amboy New Jersey and likely Charles' sweetheart we did find a Viola Ryan working as a teacher in Perth Amboy in the 1950s. <br> <br> A carefully-assembled view of a calm Hawaii against the backdrop of war. hardcover books

A pair of family photo albums the first focusing mostly on the young Betty Fisher and her family included Betty's Kindegarten Class at Norwood School Los Angeles; Betty at Grandfather's house in Louisville Ky; Waipio Falls on the Big Island of Hawaii; New Years Day at Waikiki; Kaikio Tank; Betty's First Kodak 1910. The second album shows vacation scenes in Cape Cod Harwichport; Boothbay Harbor Maine; Squirrel Island; Monhegan Island; Wicasset Maine; Montreal Quebec; Berkshires; Bretton Woods; Delaware Water Gap; Washington D.C.<br/><br/>Most interesting is an 8 x 10 in photo in the first album of the first aviation meet in Hawaii showing "Bud Mars in a Curtis aero-plane" performing for an awestruck crowd in December of 1910. Hawaii was the first stop on a 30000 mile demonstration tour sponsored by the Curtis Aircraft Company the Wright Brothers' chief rival.<br/>Undoubtedly a unique image - we found no published images of this meet. The rest of the albums are interesting in their own right showing the life of a well-off Hawaiian family over the course of 10 years. unknown books
1930227421930. Japanese-American Hawaii Japanese American military family photograph album 1930s documenting everyday life of a Nisei household in interwar Hawaii and tracing the transpacific connections linking Japanese American communities with Japan and Japanese occupied Manchuria. The photographs record family relationships social gatherings military friendships and overseas travel at a time when second generation Japanese Americans were negotiating identity within both American and Japanese spheres of influence. Handwritten captions written in the first person suggest the compiler was a Nisei man with associations to the United States Army referring to relatives and companions as "My father" "My sis Chiyo" and identifying a group of men in a tropical field as "China Souza Manuel myself Choy" further captioned "Army Buddies." During the 1930s Japanese Americans faced significant barriers to military advancement on the mainland United States yet Hawaii's National Guard accepted some Nisei soldiers prior to the Second World War due in part to the islands' large Japanese population. The album therefore documents a rare prewar moment when Japanese American military participation and family life intersected within the broader social landscape of Hawaii.<br /> <br /> Photo album compiled during the 1930s containing approximately 103 original silver gelatin photographs mounted to brown paper leaves and annotated in ink identifying individuals and locations. Bound in green pebbled boards titled "Photo Album" in gilt on the cover. Each photo measures approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches to 5 x 7 inches. Album measures approximately 6 x 9.5 inches. The images depict family gatherings beach excursions on Oahu graduations and informal portraits of relatives and friends. Early pages include a graduation photograph of Edna Omatsu and portraits of family members including Uneiko members of the Takayama family Jeanette Ayako and a military dressed man identified as Rob Ogawa. One family group portrait shows individuals wearing leis with the caption "Honolulu - Hakada's Departure to Japan." Several photographs document military friendships and camp environments including the previously noted "Army Buddies" image. A small sequence captioned "Manchurian Trip" records the family's travels through northern China during the period of Japanese control following the establishment of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo in 1932 illustrating the mobility of Japanese diaspora families moving between Hawaii Japan and imperial territories across East Asia.<br /> <br /> Interwar Hawaii contained one of the largest Japanese populations outside Japan with Japanese immigrants and their American born children forming a substantial portion of the islands' workforce and social life during the 1930s. Album spine partially detached at front cover with wear to boards; photographs remain clean and crisp with mostly legible handwritten captions. Overall very good condition. Nisei communities balanced participation in American civic institutions with continuing family linguistic and cultural ties to Japan creating networks that stretched across the Pacific. This album documents those connections through scenes of leisure education military companionship and international travel shortly before the geopolitical tensions that culminated in the Pacific War. unknown
