21656Very Good. A Quintessential Artifact of the Interwar Florida Tourism Boom.<br /> A vibrant and structurally ambitious artifact of Depression-era boosterism capturing the Indian River region's pivot from a rural citrus hub to a premier 'New Deal' tourism destination. <br /> <br /> While many Florida guides of this period focused on the 'Gilded Age' glamour of the Gold Coast this 1936 booklet emphasizes the varied 'Working Man's Paradise'-blending sport fishing marsh hunting and high-yield citrus farming with the newly accessible culture of automobile travel. The multi-panel cover art is a standout specimen of mid-1930s commercial design utilizing the stylized simplified forms and saturated palettes of the interwar travel-poster movement. It provides a rare town-by-town survey of fifteen coastal localities during a period of significant regional identity formation.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Design: Multi-panel color-litho cover in classic 1930s travel-poster style.<br /> Local Profiles: Granular coverage of 15 towns including Eau Gallie Grant Indialantic and Sebastian.<br /> Branding: Heavy focus on the 'Indian River Orange' as both a commodity and a cultural symbol.<br /> Visuals: 28 pages of photographs and stylized graphic panels typical of 1930s regional marketing.<br /> Rarity: Scarce; OCLC/WorldCat records only 6 institutional holdings.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Very Good. The bold poster-style cover remains bright and highly presentable. There is a localized stain to the lower corner of the inside cover and first page though it does not affect the exterior graphics or the structural integrity. Otherwise a carefully handled clean example with only minor wrapper corner wear. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> The 1936 Indian River booklet marks the precise moment Florida transitioned from an agricultural frontier into a motorized tourist playground. Produced during the height of the Great Depression it uses "booster optimism" to sell a lifestyle of self-sufficiency citrus and cattle alongside modern leisure tarpon fishing and beach-going. It is a vital record of the 15 included towns-many of which were then merely small fishing villages or groves-capturing their landscape before the post-WWII development boom.<br /> <br /> Subjects: Indian River Florida Brevard County History Florida Citrus Industry 1930s Tourism WPA-Era Graphic Design Sport Fishing History Vero Beach Fort Pierce New Smyrna Florida Ephemera Travel Promotion Americana Regional History Trade Catalogues. unknown

1938220261Japan. 1938 -1942. Thirty-seven black and white photographs laid down in a Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd album with fifteen black and white photographs loosely inserted sizes vary between 5 x 5.8cm to 16.5 x 11.3cm a number of photographs are missing Japanese captions neatly written on leaves 22.5 x 31cm 58pp. Last eleven leaves five photographs and the lower cover damp stained. Covers marked and chipped. Titled "Remembering Huzhou" this photographic album contains thirty-seven black and white photographs mounted within together with a further fifteen loose photographs inserted. Most of the images appear to have been taken while the compiler’s unit was stationed in southern China. The owner was most likely an infantry soldier posted to the Huzhou region around 1938. Although thirty-seven photographs now remain attached and fifteen loosely inserted it is evident that others have been removed possibly to obscure the owner’s identity. The surviving captions indicate the nature of the missing images. <br> <br>The photographs present a notably peaceful atmosphere during the period of occupation in the Guangdong and Huzhou areas with no depictions of conflict or fighting. The compiler evidently had access to a personal camera and developing facilities during his time in China. It appears that the unit may at one stage have been stationed on the campus of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong. Towards the end of the album a family photograph of four children on a beach is included. The captions throughout are often humorous and convey a sense of familiarity with the subjects. The inserted photographs extend the chronological range slightly dating to approximately 1942. . unknown
