19505127Winnipeg Manitoba: The Royal Canadian Air Force Produced by Goodall Photo Co. 321 Carlton St. Winnipeg N.D. Circa May 1950. First Edition First Printing. Our offering comprises of a series of twenty-six original black-and-white photographs commissioned by the Royal Canadian Air Force under the command of Brigadier R. E. A. Morton documenting in remarkable detail the devastating Red River Valley Flood of 1950 affecting the city of Winnipeg and surrounding districts over the course of April 15 to June 12 1950. Printed on period glossy card-stock each photograph measures 2.75" x 4" surrounded with argyle borders. Includes nine vivid aerial views capturing the widespread havoc the flooding imposed upon the city five street level views of damage to homes and businesses and twelve images presumably captured from roof-tops of the devastation wreaked upon the various commercial and transportation centres of the city. The Manitoba Historical Society notes: "The Royal Canadian Air Force commenced its operation "Red Ramp" which consisted of a giant airlift of flood emergency materials then in very short supply. Trans Canada Air Lines threw the weight of their system into a similar emergency airlift. A total of 35 aircraft was in operation during Red Ramp some of which were used for aerial photography of the flooded areas to allow technical personnel on Brigadier Morton's and the various governmental staffs to evaluate the progress of the flood and the flood fight." Exceptionally well-preserved with no detectable flaws; fine. A most remarkable primary-source visual archive sourced from the original R.C.A.F operation. Indeed no similar holdings could be located amongst either regional or national archival institutions including the University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections the University of Alberta Bruce Peel Special Collections LAC/BAC et. al. Rare indeed. <br/><br/>The impact of the flood would compel the Conservative government of Duff Roblin to initiate a Royal Commission to examine the feasibility of the construction of the 47 km long channel. In the face of significant opposition the Commission would ultimately endorse the massive capital project at the not insignificant cost for the time of over $63 million dollars over $505 million dollars when adjusted for inflation today. Completed in 1968 it is estimated to have prevented nearly $10 billion dollars of damages over its life. The Royal Canadian Air Force | Produced by Goodall Photo Co.

1900177661900. Early African American PHOTOGRAPHY -- RELIGION. silver gelatin photograph of a river baptism featuring a large group of African American subjects. Mississippi ca early 1900s. Photograph size is 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in. Original silver gelatin photograph on cardstock mount .A young African American man wearing a hat and suit stands with his back to the camera we see in the foreground on the riverbank a group of African American subjects in light clothing close to the water's edge. A large ship is just visible beyond the dock in the background. Pencil inscription on verso reads "Miss- Colored Baptizing." 9Not: Historical records are evidence of the time in which they were created and often contain language are racist or derogatory and insensitive. This content does not reflect our values. These type of baptism on the banks of the Mississippi River were a public ceremony that attracted many converts in the South to the Delta region. Predominately African American Baptists performed their sacred ritual of outdoor baptisms on the Mississippi River until well into the 20th century in this Baptist-heavy state. Immersion baptisms typically took place in rivers or other natural bodies of water and summer and fall were the natural seasons for these congregational events. This rare photo captures a religious practice that has been integral to African-American Baptists for centuries. Photo has some toning surface soiling spotting and very small tear to right edge. But is still clear and in good to very good condition. unknown
