191264208Portland & Astoria OR & Knappton WA: J.F. Ford Photographer ca. 1912. Four silver gelatin photographs sized 6.5 x 8.5 in. mounted on thick gray studio boards sized 9 x 11 in. nearly all w/ negative number and photographer’s signature in the negative at lower margin all four w/ register marks in pencil at corners for printing second photo w/ original pencil drawing of kitchen and brick oven on verso old repair to 1 broken corner w/ tape minor scuffing edgewear slight overexposure still VG set of images from the library of Anna Alatalo Huntus 1901-1978 Finnish-American whose family emigrated into Boston from Finland in 1905 then to Michigan Washington and Oregon. These four outstanding images offer an excellent view of Finnish-Americans logging along the Columbia River in the decade preceding World War I. These images capture the massive logs being prepared for the sawmill in operation atop a massive wooden platform; a steam donkey in operation hauling the log apparently rolling in motion while logger in caulked boots spot it. This was possibly one of the R.C. Bell who owned a number of small logging operations in Washington and Oregon along the Columbia River including the Campbell Lumber company the Columbia Logging Company the Kalama Lumber Company North Bank Logging Company Grungstad Lumber Company and the Chinook Lumber Company. H.B.A. Logging Company boomed during demand for timber during World War I but after a fire in 1919 caused the company to shut down for a few months it incurred massive debts which eventually forced Bell and the company into Court after Bell retired in 1920. Knappton Cove WA was the site of the historic Columbia River Quarantine Station which after completion in 1900 provided disinfection facilities for incoming ships and an isolation hospital for passengers suffering from infectious diseases. All vessels arriving from foreign ports were required to pass through quarantine before unloading or loading cargo and/or proceeding up the Columbia River to Portland. Alatalo 1882-1947 had emigrated on the SS Saxonia into Boston from Uleaborg Finland by 1905 worked as miner and logger in Hancock Michigan then moved his family to the thriving Finnish-American community along the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest after 1910. Ford 1862-1914 was an avid professional photographer and evangelist who became a pastor in the Pacific Northwest conducting revivals in Ilwaco WA in the early 1890s. His photographs documenting logging operations practices and scenic views along the Columbia River embraced nearly every camp and fishing district along the river. He also operated a studio in Portland from 1900 to 1908. These images are amongst those taken in the last couple years before his death. J.F. Ford, Photographer, hardcover

MacNaughton; containing approx. 30 pages with original drawings by three competent amateur artists mainly in pen and ink but some in watercolour or pencil which accompany numerous popular children's verses and rhymes all handwritten in ink plus a number of original humorous illustrations with captions; all of the works are signed by the artists most with the initials M. M. but some with A. M. or R. M.; the authors whose work is illustrated include Eugene Field 1850-1895 Jane Taylor 1783-1824 and Ann Taylor 1782-1866 Randolph Caldecott 1846-1886 Edward Lear 1812-1888 William Allingham 1824-1889 Charles Perrault 1628-1703 and Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1772-1834; last 30 pp. blank; very clean throughout.

1890List1620Mostly New England: Various Photographers 1890. Cabinet cards measuring 6 ½ x 4 ¼ inches. Various settings showing the band members posed with their instruments including banjos violins trumpets drum and tubas. Varying wear but generally very good with some normal age-related fading. Very Good. Originally from Lawrenceville New York the Shepard Family Band toured throughout the Northeast in the 1880s and 1890s eventually settling in South Royalton Vermont. All members of the family were apparently musically inclined: “In addition to Minnie mother and matriarch Mary “Minnie†Shepard and her husband patriarch James Monroe Shepard all of the children were pressed into service. Daughter Laura Belle the ‘violiniste’ was getting better all the time under the instruction of a ‘competent master.’ Her fans “will be astonished at the improvement in style tone and expression.†It was said of little Lessie that ‘Among lady cornetists she has no equal.’ The darling little son of the family Master Burtie could not help but please for he was well-known to be ‘The youngest Tuba soloist in the world; only nine years of age; scarcely larger than the instrument he plays.’ He was also a ‘clever comedian singer and character artist.†The baby little Flossie “a sweet little miss of four summers’ was said to be a “wonderful mimic and impersonator…a veritable little fairy.’ Daughters Kittie and Georgia were also part of the troupe.†- Henry Sheldon Museum. A very nice collection. Various Photographers unknown
1848List3669Boston Massachusetts: Olivery Ditson 1848. Folio 14 x 10 ½ inches 5 pp. Slight splitting to covers contents fine very good plus overall. The sheet for the anti-politician polemic “Eight Dollars a Day" which was apparently a crowd favorite at the Hutchinson Family’s performances. The song lambastes the political class and its waste insinuating among other things that the politicians were spending their bloated salary on alcohol: “A flaming speech is made by one when the call is yea or nay But all are agreed with the question comes of Eight dollars a day.†The song was written in 1848 early in the Hutchinson Family’s period moving toward social activism and four years after their most famous abolition-themed compositions.1 Judging by the twelve copies held at libraries this was probably one of the better selling titles in their repertoire from the time period. <br /> <br /> 1 Philip D.

1855List3668New York: Horace Waters 1855. Sheet music measuring 10 ¾ x 14 ¼ inches 6 pp. Foxed with wear to edges; very good to excellent. A scarce Hutchinson Family sheet published in 1855 with an abolition theme. The song goes in part:<br /> <br /> “The captive now begins to rise and burst his chains asunder While Politicians stand aghast in anxious fear and wonder. No longer shall the bondman sigh beneath the galling fetters He sees the Dan of Freedom nigh and reads the golden letters…†<br /> <br /> It also discusses alcohol within a larger theme of good triumphing over evil. The song is included in some songsters but this standalone version is quite uncommon with one copy held at Dartmouth. In 1855 the Hutchinson Family Singers continued extensive touring across the northeastern United States presenting concert programs that combined abolitionist songs temperance material and political commentary aligned with reform movements. They had embraced abolitionism as a cause about a decade earlier with a string of compositions including “Get Off the Track†and “The Bereaved Slave Mother.â€. Horace Waters unknown
