1930215101930. African American family photograph album 1930s Mt. Hope Missouri documents the daily life social relationships and labor conditions of a Black family during the Great Depression and provides direct evidence of both domestic life and employment structures in a rural Midwestern setting. Centered on the Berry family including Helen Berry and Eugene Berry the album records family gatherings leisure and personal identity alongside evidence of domestic service work within a white household. The inclusion of obituary clippings for Eugene Berry who died at age 22 situates the album within a specific family history marked by early loss while the broader content supports research into African American social life rural communities and labor patterns during the 1930s.<br /> <br /> Approximately 66 photographs mounted in a bound album measuring approximately 7 x 11 inches with images generally around 3.5 x 2.5 inches and accompanied by period captions. Numerous images depict Helen Berry in informal settings including one captioned "Girls like to play ball" showing her holding a baseball bat another reading "Just now looking fine" posed on steps and a photograph labeled "Helen at her friend house Mable Washington" showing her seated on the hood of an automobile. Eugene Berry appears in several photographs alongside family and friends. Two clipped obituaries for Eugene Berry are mounted within the album listing Helen Berry among survivors. Additional photographs include portraits of extended family members and community figures including a middle aged man identified visually by attire such as a taxi driver's cap. Approximately eleven photographs near the rear depict a white family identified as the Sanders including images of their home and children accompanied by an inscription reading "I work for Sanders back in 30" indicating employment as a caretaker.<br /> <br /> Compiled during the Great Depression this album documents the intersection of African American family life and domestic labor particularly the role of Black women working within white households while maintaining their own familial and social networks. The juxtaposition of intimate family scenes with photographs of the Sanders household provides evidence of employment relationships that were common for African American women during this period when domestic service constituted a major sector of Black labor. At the same time the album preserves expressions of leisure identity and community within the Berry family offering a layered record of resilience and daily life in a rural environment. Binding shows wear with some page loosening photographs exhibit minor fading and light discoloration captions occasionally faint; overall condition very good. unknown
1939216991939. African American Photography New York City Thompson Juanita. Photograph archive 1939 to 1966 documents African American middle class life in Jamaica Queens and records domestic recreational and formal social environments within Black communities in mid twentieth century New York. The archive establishes a sustained visual record of family networks leisure institutions and organized social events including evidence of participation in historically Black spaces such as summer camps and formal gatherings associated with upwardly mobile Black communities. The material supports research into African American social life outside the framework of labor and protest emphasizing community formation intergenerational networks and the development of Black middle class identity in urban settings.<br /> <br /> Jamaica Queens New York and North Brookfield Massachusetts circa 1939 to 1966. Archive of 161 photographs including 151 black and white images and 10 color photographs most measuring approximately 3.5 x 3.5 inches and 3.25 x 3.25 inches respectively with date stamps and manuscript inscriptions identifying subjects and locations. A significant grouping documents a February 1958 formal event in a ballroom setting where African American attendees in evening dress are served by white staff with participants including Juanita Thompson and her husband William Gillespie alongside other couples and a uniformed Army corporal. Earlier photographs depict Thompson's attendance at Camp Atwater a longstanding Black operated summer camp drawing participants from across the eastern United States. Additional images record family gatherings portraits with newborn children and outdoor scenes including an older man identified within Thompson's family circle near a country residence. The photographs collectively document both private and communal settings across multiple decades.<br /> <br /> The archive situates African American life within the context of expanding middle class institutions during and after the Great Migration when neighborhoods such as Jamaica Queens supported stable family networks professional advancement and organized social culture. The presence of formal events recreational spaces and multigenerational gatherings demonstrates the infrastructure of Black community life in northern cities during a period often defined in scholarship by segregation and inequality. By documenting spaces of leisure celebration and family continuity the photographs provide a counterpoint to narratives focused exclusively on struggle emphasizing lived experience within established community frameworks. Minor curling and light handling wear to some prints; images remain sharp and intact. Overall very good condition. A substantial visual record of African American social life mobility and community identity in mid twentieth century New York. unknown
1930196621930. Vernacular family photograph album from Trinidad and Tobago circa 1930s-1940s documents Black middle-class life in the late colonial Caribbean through domestic portraiture institutional affiliation and social ritual prior to national independence in 1962. The album centers a single extended family and records weddings childhood education and professional identity situating its subjects within a local Black community rather than the more commonly preserved outsider or tourist view of the region. Visual evidence of occupational roles including nursing policing military service and religious vocation places the family within the institutional structures of colonial society while formal dress and studio portrait conventions indicate participation in aspirational and respectability-driven forms of self-representation. The presence of a pre-independence naval uniform and Trinidadian police attire situates the material within British colonial administrative and military frameworks.<br /> <br /> Trinidad and Tobago circa 1930s-1940s with one later addition from the 1970s. Photograph album containing 58 silver gelatin prints primarily black and white mounted across album pages along with one loose color photograph. Images include studio portraits and informal scenes depicting weddings infants school-age children and group gatherings. Several photographs show men in period suits characteristic of the 1930s-1940s while others depict women and girls in religious dress posed beside a statue of Joseph and Jesus. Group portraits include eight Black nurses posed outside a Trinidad hospital and a family New Year gathering. Additional scenes include Quayside dock in Tobago and a woman posed before a twin-propeller aircraft. One male family member appears in a white naval uniform associated with pre-independence service another in Trinidadian police uniform and one female subject is documented as a nun. The loose later photograph shows an elderly woman likely a subject from earlier images with a child extending the family narrative into a post-independence generation.<br /> <br /> Produced during the final decades of British colonial rule this album aligns with a period in which photography functioned as both a record of social belonging and a tool of self-fashioning within Caribbean Black communities. Studio portraiture and formal group images reflect established visual conventions that emphasized respectability profession and family continuity while candid and location-based images document mobility infrastructure and daily life in Trinidad and Tobago. The survival of a locally produced family album from this period contributes to a limited visual record of intra-community life in the pre-independence Caribbean offering insight into generational continuity across the transition from colonial governance to nationhood. Front cover detached but present; pages and photographs well preserved with minor handling wear; overall very good condition. unknown

191049372n.p. n.d. 1910. The 14 photographs in this album were undoubtedly produced by a professional photographer using a large format camera. The pictures are well composed sharply focused and unusual in their scale. They picture a family in leisure-time activities such as hunting gathering leaves and observing caged rabbits. Especially noteworthy is their time at a lake cabin and visiting Twin Cities sites. The cabin is a fine Victorian piece of gingerbread with a wrap-around porch ideal for napping and reading. The wife/mother is seen holding a copy of the periodical American Motherhood which was published 1903-1919 making it possible to date these images around 1910. The family includes twin boys one of whom is seen in the same picture reading a copy of the children's magazine Buster Brown. What appears to be a stuffed squirrel appears in three of the images. The album contains 14 beautifully toned photographs including one in which the oldest child assists a workman possibly making maple syrup. Seven loose prints accompany the album one duplicate. Among these are three pictures made at Fort Snelling and Minnehaha Falls suggesting that the family either lived in the Twin Cities or visited there. While the identity of the photographer is unknown there is a clue to the heritage of the subjects. Laid into the album is a newspaper clipping about one Marvin Hughitt 1837-1928 upon his retirement from the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad in 1925. It is possible that the family in these photographs were descendants of Mr. Hughitt with the mother or father a likely grandchild. This is an unusually nice album of family photographs. unknown

1950233631950. Postwar African American military family photo album documenting the institutional pathways through which a black Los Angeles family pursued stability and advancement in the 1950s-60s. Images primarily center on a young black female graduate seen throughout the album emphasizing academic success within an era where segregation and de-emphasis of female education persisted. The album also focuses on her immediate and distant family members in and outside of their homes including infant aged children to men in service uniform and elders. In postwar Los Angeles where Black families built opportunity within the constraints of segregated housing uneven schooling and limited access to many institutions albums like this marked the concrete sites of advancement that could be claimed and transmitted within the family.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 151 black and white and color photographs various sizes Los Angeles California circa 1950s-60s. Mounted across album pages are nursery and bedroom scenes with babies posed on beds beside stuffed animals porch and yard portraits in front of modest but well-kept houses street-facing views with parked midcentury automobiles and repeated family groupings that move between immediate relatives children elders and friends. Several pages center on a young woman in a white graduation gown and cap shown in front of houses near a large automobile and in a courtyard commencement setting with arcaded architecture clustered graduates and stage views that suggest a Southern California school or college campus without yielding a secure identification. Other sequences extend the family story through a formal military portrait of a young Black serviceman informal views of him indoors and outdoors classroom scenes beneath a wall crucifix with a nun at the front of the room holiday interiors with a Christmas tree and several small inscriptions including the recurring name Charlotte and a studio notation reading "Christy Shepherd / Hollywood." Color prints dated April 1968 introduce later scenes of children playing in a fenced yard confirming the album's long family span and its continued concentration in residential Los Angeles.<br /> <br /> The album shows how Black families in Los Angeles built a life prior to the Civil Rights movement through the institutions that could carry them forward. Schooling appears as a family event as the young woman is surrounded by relatives houses yards and cars that mark the material terms of postwar striving in black Los Angeles. Military service enters the album as another path into adulthood and standing while women hold the family record together across graduation scenes childrearing visits and gatherings. Album leaves show age wear and toning some toning throughout and one small portrait at upper right is torn at the edge; overall in very good condition. This album acts as a decade long record of how one Black family in Los Angeles turned aspiration into structure and memory into proof. unknown

Small 4to. 37 ff. mostly with newspaper clippings neatly pasted in on both sides 4 ff. in manuscript "Summary of Scores" from 1871-1877 and 1910. Several leaves excised; it is possible that the present album had been re-purposed. On a few of the stubs appear fragmentary MS notations suggesting that the notebook may have once been divided alphabetically. We find on certain stubs "Ai" followed immediately by "Ao" and then several leaves later: "Her. - Hes" followed by "Io." Binding rebacked with smooth calf. In very good condition. Highly interesting homemade album of Cricket Scores available nowhere else specifically documenting the triumphs of three young members of the Blomfield family namely: E.G. Edward George C.J. Charles James and R.T. Reginald Theodore. One wonders if the present album was created in order to promote friendly competition between the brothers two of whom went to Haileybury School and one went to Charterhouse; all three went up to Oxford. There are scores and game synopsis of matches were between Haileybury Charterhouse Marylebone Cricket Club MCC Westminster Trinity College Oxon. Exeter Oxon. and more. One of the more interesting features about the album is that it provides a fascinating record of one family's love of the game:<br /> <br /> ¶ Edward George 1853-1885 entered Charterhouse School London in 1865 and transfer upon the School's removal to Godalming in 1872; in 1873 he went to Trinity College Oxon. where he earned a B.A. in 1877 and M.A. in 1879; thereafter he served as Curate of St. Mary's Portsea until 1883 and then Vicar of St. Mark's Woolston until his death in London in 1885.<br /> <br /> ¶ Charles James 1855-1928 went to Haileybury School; he underwent military training at Sandhurst and served as an army officer in India Sudan and Natal. He attained the rank of Major General before his retirement in 1917. NB: this individual is not to be confused with a noted architect of the same name b. 1862 d. 1932. <br /> <br /> ¶ Reginald Theodore 1856-1942 also went to Haileybury School; he earned his B.A. from Exeter Oxon. in 1880 and M.A. in 1884. He became an architect and was knighted in 1919. He is remembered mainly for his work designing British war memorials. <br /> <br /> ¶ The parents of the three young men were Rev. George John and his first cousin Isabella Blomfield of Bow Devonshire whose own father Charles James Blomfield was Bishop of London. <br /> <br /> ¶ At the end is a "Summary of Scores" for the years 1871-1877. Following this in a different hand is the year 1910; although the initial of the last name "Blomfield" remains the same the other initials belong to Reginald Thomas and his two sons Henry George and Austin. <br /> <br /> ¶ See Stedman Charterhouse Register 1872-1900 passim. CATALOGUER'S NOTE: We are grateful to Catherine Smith Archivist of Charterhouse School for much useful information concerning the Blomfield Family. hardcover
1960215151960. During the decades following the Second World War the expansion of the United States diplomatic corps and international cultural exchange programs created new opportunities for African Americans to participate in global professional and social networks. At a time when segregation and racial inequality still structured much of American life a growing number of Black diplomats military officers educators and government officials traveled abroad as representatives of the United States. These individuals and their families became part of an emerging phenomenon often described as Black internationalism in which African Americans experienced and documented life beyond the racial boundaries of the United States while participating in transnational diplomatic and cultural communities.<br /> <br /> Extensive vernacular photograph archive of approximately 250 original photographs the majority in color documenting the international travel and family life of an African American family likely connected to the U.S. diplomatic corps. Photographs measure approximately 3.5 x 4.5 inches with several bearing date stamps ranging from 1960 to 1973. The photographs provide a remarkable visual chronicle of mid-twentieth-century African American upward mobility and global mobility. The family is recorded across Europe North Africa Latin America and the United States appearing in both posed portraits and candid scenes documenting leisure travel sightseeing and everyday family life abroad. Numerous images show visits to archaeological sites Mediterranean and European cityscapes beaches resorts and historic landmarks while others capture cruises desert excursions and urban sightseeing. Several photographs depict the family posed near or in front of United States embassy buildings and diplomatic signage strongly suggesting a professional connection to American diplomatic or consular service. Other images record travel experiences including camel rides in Egypt visits to Greco-Roman ruins bullfighting arenas and beach resorts in Mexico urban scenes in Paris and other European cities and domestic travel within Hawaii and California. Interspersed throughout the archive are candid photographs taken in homes near automobiles and during informal gatherings offering glimpses of everyday life within a prosperous and internationally mobile African American family during the height of the Civil Rights era.<br /> <br /> Taken together the photographs present a striking counter-narrative to dominant mid-century representations of African American life in the United States. Rather than documenting marginalization or protest the archive captures cosmopolitan travel diplomatic life and transnational leisure illustrating the expanding global presence of African Americans during the Cold War era and the emergence of a professional Black middle and upper class connected to government service and international institutions. Photographs show minor curling and occasional fading consistent with age but remain clear and vibrant overall; condition very good. unknown
