48026Seattle: Kinsey Photo. Ca 1930s. Each photograph housed in an archival mylar sleeve. Light wear at edges heavier to two of the photos. Minor soiling. Three images annotated on verso. Overall a Very Good lot sharp & clear. 11" x 14". Image size: 10-1/4" x 12-7/8". Most oblong format. <br/><br/>Group of nine large-format photographs depicting lumbering activities of the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumbering Company Pacific National Lumber Company and the Simpson Lumber Company. All are captioned in the negative identifying Kinsey as the photographer. Clark Kinsey and his brother Darius 1869-1945 were two of the most important photographers documenting the logging and timber industries of the Pacific Northwest. Kinsey photographed the timber industry in the Pacific Northwest for thirty years from World War I until his retirement in 1945. <br /> <br />The images here record not only the equipment & activity of the logging industry but also of the timber cutters themselves capturing their postures and expressions posed amongst the logs and machinery of their trade. Three of the images are annotated on the verso two with some identifying names of the workmen in the photograph. Images are captioned as follows: <br /> <br />"No. 2. Camp #8. St. Paul & Tacoma Lmbr Co. / C. Kinsey Photo Seattle" -- Group photo of fourteen men posed in front of machinery. <br /> <br />"No. 5. St. Paul & Tacoma Lmbr Co. / C. Kinsey Photo" -- Group photo of fifteen men posed in front of a small building empty flatbed rail cars in front. <br /> <br />"St. Paul and Tacoma Lbr. Co #5 / Kinsey Photo" -- Group photo of seventeen men posing with a giant felled log. <br /> <br />"No. 7 St. Paul & Tacoma Lmbr Co / C. Kinsey Photo" -- Logs on a railcar in the left foreground with a tall trunk central guide wires attached. A group of men poses in the background. <br /> <br />"Pacific National Lbr Co. / C. Kinsey Photo / No. 660" -- Logging scene with one very tall trunk central guide wires attached donkey engine working below it. <br /> <br />"Pacific National Lbr. Co. / C. Kinsey Photo / No. 665" -- Depicts four young men standing on a logging machine. <br /> <br />"Kinsey Photo / No. 5 Simpson Lbr. Co. Camp 3" -- A view of the camp taken from above. Captioned on verso "Camp 3". <br /> <br />"Simpson Camp #3 / Kinsey Photo #12" -- Twenty men seated on large logs on the left with machinery the center focus. Captioned on verso identifying most of the men. <br /> <br />"Simpson Camp #3 / Kinsey #12" -- Depicts a group of seven men standing atop a pile of logs. Captioned on verso identifying one man. <br /> <br />The University of Washington has a large collection of Kinsey's negatives and photographs some of which they have digitized. Searching their database shows that the present images from the Simpson Lumber Company were likely taken in the 1930s while the images of the other camps are undated though we postulate they are from the same era which coincides with Kinsey's most productive period. <br /> <br />All-in-all an arresting group of large photographs documenting this important industry in the Pacific Northwest by one of its most noted photographers.

This copy from the library of Alfred Kinseys Institute for Sex Research with its bookplate and Kinseys ownership inscription Alfred C.

He has done more than any other six men in Her Majesty's dominions and is one of the best noblest and truest that breathes"" page 37. ""This is a curious little book often overlooked in studies of Burton but it deserves closer attention. Of special note is the frontispiece pp. 84-96 which prints a scrap of Burton's autobiography and pages 79-82 which contain a 'List of Captain Burton's Works'"" Casada 369.

Burton by ""An Old Oxonian"" 1880. Penzer 305-06. Decorative monogrammatical bookplate of C.J. Peacock. Owner signature of Alfred C. Kinsey with bookplate of the Institute for Sex Research. Kinsey founded the Institute in 1947 in part ""to create the most complete and most scientific data bank on human sexuality ever compiled Kinsey hired and carefully trained a team of interviewers to gather more case histories and he also collected a staggering cache of books 'how to' manuals primitive artifacts and implements of an erotic or sexual nature; these were housed at the Institute's library"" ANB. Considering the translated erotica he published through the Kama Shastra Society Burton likely would have appreciated Kinsey's work. Kinsey had an interest in Burton's: in 1948 in fact he enlisted Gershon Legman best known for his scholarly studies of erotic humor as a bibliographer to ""help locate such obscure rarities as the 16 original volumes of Richard Burton's Arabian Nights with their complex and lengthy footnotes on Levantine sexuality"" Mikita Brottman Funny Peculiar. Title and library marking written on spine in white ink.Interior generally clean with foxing mostly confined to free endpapers; Kinsey's inscription still easily legible.

192760082Seattle & Dryad WA: Clark Kinsey Photographer; Duncan Lumber Co. Luedinghaus Lumber Co. ca. 1927. Three silver gelatin photographs sepia tinted sized 11 x 14.25 in. w/ photographer’s imprint in lower fore-edge of negative of 2 pencil annotations on versos of two with two of three printed on thick glossy photo paper third on thinner glossy paper stock w/ 2 very small perforated ownership stamps minor shelfwear rubbing edgewear still VG set. These three photographs document logging crews and operations following World War I for the largely forgotten Luedinghaus Lumber Co. based out of Dryad Washington in Lewis County subsidiary of the Duncan Lumber Co. based in Portland OR. In the 1920’s under the leadership of Texan George Duncan 1872-1945 the Duncan Lumber Co. was a fast expanding timber company sawmill operation and logging railroad. A Spanish-American War veteran he had served as a Captain and later a manager with the Kirby Lumber Co. and Continental Lumber Co. in Houston TX before moving to Portland in 1912. By 1913 he had organized the Duncan Lumber Co. and took over ownership of the Luedinghaus Bros. Lumber Co. in Dryad WA as well as the Meskill Lumber Co. in Meskill WA. In 1919 the Duncan Lumber Co. also secured all of the sawmill railroad and timber holdings of the companies. The first image reveals a Luedinghaus Lumber Co. Climax geared locomotive with some of the boiler manufacturing plate identification number lost to depth of field focus but clearly detailing Climax & Corry PA as manufacturing site; the second although titled “Lausinghaus Lumber Co. Dryad WA†was mislabeled by one of Clark Kinsey’s dark room processors and depicts one of the company’s Shay Locomotives No. 2 in this case and negative no. 47 with author’s imprint below caption; and finally the third K57A depicts a proud Luedinghaus Co. logger standing next to a giant cedar log about 12-14 feet in diameter with his crosscut saw embedded in the bark. Kinsey 1877-1956 first practiced photography with his brothers Darius and Clarence and during the Yukon Gold Rush operated a studio in Grand Forks. Shortly before World War I he began documenting logging and milling camps across the Pacific Northwest shooting over 50000 images before retirement in 1945. His logging photos possess remarkable clarity and detail because he largely shot with a 11 x 14 in. view camera and unfortunately on very unstable nitro-cellulose film stock so only a percentage survive. George Duncan’s company did not survive the Great Depression and by 1940 he was working as manager for the West Coast Lumber Co. in Corvallis OR. Harry Duncan was divorced by his wife Dorothy Nathalie Sorg 1910-2006 in 1942 and later remarried continuing to work in other lumber firms in the Oregon and California. We could locate only 3 similar Kinsey images of the two different locomotives and no holdings of “K57A.†See: Clark Kinsey and the Documentation of the Pacific Northwest Logging Industry Photograph Collection University of Washington Libraries; West Coast Manufacturers’ Consolidation Adds to Portland’s Important Industries American Lumberman Part 2 Nov. 29 1919 pp. 53-54 75-78; A.E.

195321049Philadelphia: W. B. Saunders Company 1953. First edition. Octavo original maroon cloth. Boldly signed by Alfred C. Kinsey and Wardell B. Pomeroy on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with a few small closed tears. Sexual Behavior in the Human Female was originally published in 1953 five years after the male volume. The material presented in this book was derived from personal interviews with nearly 6000 women; from studies in sexual anatomy physiology psychology and endocrinology. The book presents data on the incidence and frequency with which women participate in various types of sexual activity. The authors show how such factors as age decade of birth and religious adherence are reflected in patterns of sexual behavior. Some measure of the social significance of the various types of sexual behavior is provided. The authors make comparisons of female and male sexual activities and investigate the factors which account for the similarities and differences between female and male patterns of behavior. As before Kinsey documented an enormous gap between social attitudes and actual practices. Also as before the book was a media sensation but this time the counterattack was so ferocious including a congressional investigation of his financial support that the Rockefeller Foundation terminated its funding. Kinsey's health deteriorated under the strain of public attack and uncertainty about the future of his institute. He suffered from heart disease and after a brief hospitalization for pneumonia died in Bloomington on August 25 1956. In his own mind his principal legacy was to have brought scientific rigor to the study of human sexuality. But as his biographer James H. Jones points out Kinsey was not only a scientist; he was a reformer who sought to rid himself of his personal sexual demons while at the same time revolutionizing the repressive society in which he had grown up.

194846404739Philadelphia & London, Sauders, 1948-53 ; 2 volumes in-8, cartonnage bradel toile rouge, dos orné, jaquettes conservées. (Cartonnage d’éditeur) XV pp., 804 pp. - XXX pp., 842 pp.ÉDITION ORIGINALE de chacune des parties du célèbre Rapport Kinsey, l’ouvrage scientifique le plus lu du XXe siècle. Il s’agit peut-être de l’ouvrage qui, dans l’histoire récente, a eu la plus grande influence sur notre mode de vie. Les thèses qui y sont développées sont, de nos jours encore, sujettes à de vives polémiques dans tout le monde occidental. Les auteurs étudient les pratiques, les orientations et les préférences sexuelles en remettant en cause toutes les normes que la morale et la science avaient jusqu’alors considérées comme la nature de l’homme. Un relativisme qui traite la fidélité conjugale ou l’hétérosexualité comme des pratiques parmi d’autres plutôt que comme une norme incontestable. Les réactions que cet ouvrage suscita dans l’Amérique des années 50 contribua à sa vaste diffusion dans de nombreuses langues et à en faire la base scientifique de tous les mouvements de libération sexuelle et de défense des minorités sexuelles jusqu’à nos jours.Usure aux bords et insolation aux dos des jaquettes, manque de papier à un angle de la jaquette du premier tome, sinon beaux exemplaires.
192862236Macon County Tacoma & Seattle WA: Timber Views Co. ca. 1928. Six silver gelatin photographs sized 11 x 14 in. on thick glossy photo stock photographer’s imprint negative no. and location w/in negative at lower fore-edge slight curvature to corners still a very good set. An exceptional group of six original Darius Kinsey photographs capturing the construction project of Lake Cushman Tacoma Dam Site No. 2 engineering crew work crews massive log rafts floating on the lake as well as the finished Tacoma Dam No. 1. The Lake Cushman dam was first proposed in 1919 as the demand for power in Tacoma had vastly expanded during World War I and under direction of Ira S. Davisson the Tacoma Power Co. finished Dam no. 1 by 1926 using a concrete arch gravity and embankment design diverting water to a power house on Hood Canal. The second smaller Cushman Dam No. 2 construction as depicted here in these photos was begun and formed the small 150-acre Kokanee lake with this power house setting further down on the Hood Canal.
