193864886Maine 1938. Photograph album 7 3/8 x 11 1/2 inches 44 of 48 leaves employed both sides used for either mounting photographs or describing them or both with short narratives about trips occasionally interspersed; affixed to two leaves are reproduced copies of a 1937 manuscript map executed by Erastus Haring picturing the lake hand-colored blue and identifying physical features and property owners all along its shores. The Erastus Haring family of Suffern New York vacationed at the same time at the same cabin on Sebec Lake about 40 miles northwest of Bangor for twelve summers recording their fishing adventures and other outdoor activities e.g. sailing waterboarding in the album. The majority of the photographs depict the Haring family especially sons Warren and Horace boating and catching salmon trout and bass with many "action" images and more of "stringed" fish; also captured are occasional fishing hiking or sight seeing trips to nearby spots in Maine e.g. Moosehead Lake Rangeley Lake Bar Harbor Mount Katadhin. A number of the photos focus on community life around the lake with outdoor meals neighbors in front of houses fish preparation for meals etc. The detailed captions add a great deal of context to the album; in addition to exhaustive identification of people places and dates there are manuscript full-page poems at least one attributed to Mr. Haring with content related to fishing pithy quotations related to the sport "the fellow who keeps his hook in the water catches the fish" and descriptions of the day's fishing events "with Richard it may be a long time before he catches another as large as this one". Two photographs missing two laid in loose an excellent family pictorial record of summer excursions for land-locked salmon and other species mostly on Sebec Lake northwest of Bangor.

1969009057<p><p>This archive contains approximately 140 photographs ranging in size from 2.25" x 2.75" to 8" x 10". Most are b/w about 30 and color about 110 3.5" square or 3.5" x 5" snapshots. The others are b/w and include official "photo finish" shots and professional publicity photos. Also included is a letter with a xerographic image of another racer and his car. All are in nice shape; about a half dozen of the snapshots have faded a little and a similar number are blurred. A few of the images have notations in the margins or on their reverse. A few also have insignificant paper remnants on their reverse presumably from a scrapbook. </p><p><p>These photographs capture David's and his family's involvement in the competition process various cars travel race starts and finishes cars speeding down derby hills spectators at local events and packing the grandstands at Derby Downs celebrity involvement ceremonies and award dinners trophy presentations etc. They include:</p><p><p style="margin-left:5%; margin-right:10%;">Two color snapshots from a party showing the 1969 national champion Steve Souter of Texas and the first national champion from 1934 Robert Turner </p><p><p style="margin-left:5%; margin-right:10%;">An inscribed xerographic image of the 1970 national champion Sam Gupton and his racer sent by Gupton following the championship and complimenting Brenstuhl on his car and racing skill <br /></p><p><p style="margin-left:5%; margin-right:10%;">Parade snapshots of celebrities participating in the 1969 national championship: Joanne Worley from <i>Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In</i> John Havlicek of the Boston Celtics Hugh O'Brien from <i>Wyatt Earp</i> actor-singer Noel Harrison Lorne Greene from <i>Bonanza</i> and hometown basketball star Gus Johnson from the Baltimore Bullets.

Two years later the Derby lost Chevrolet as its primary sponsor for being "outdated and too expensive." The following year the Derby lost its innocent charm when the national champion was disqualified after officials discovered that his engineer uncle had doctored his racer's tires with a solution to reduce rolling resistance and also installed a hidden electromagnetic device that pulled the car forward when the starting paddle receded. At the time the Akron prosecutor compared the cheating to another then-current scandal involving Marilyn Chambers "It's like discovering that your Ivory Snow girl has made a blue movie."</p><p><p>At the time of listing nothing similar is for sale in the trade and no similar archives have sold at auction per the Rare Book Hub. OCLC shows two institutions have much smaller groupings related to local races and the Akron-Summit Public Library has a 450 item collection including artifacts films documents and official photos but apparently not much in the way of vernacular photos from a competitor's viewpoint.</p> books

1928WRCAM55666Various locations in South Dakota including Pierre and Oahe 1928. 230 photographs mounted on album leaves captioned in white or red ink throughout. Images range from 2 1/2 x 2 inches to 3 1/2 x 5 inches. Oblong octavo. Contemporary black leatherette photograph album string-tied. Minor edge wear. Several leaves detached some photographs wholly or partially removed most in nice condition. Overall good condition. An interesting annotated vernacular photograph album featuring a South Dakota family in the first quarter of the 20th century. Members of the family are variously identified as Anna Beulah and Dwight Huffman aided by a few pages of typed family notes that accompany the album. The album was kept by an unidentified member of the Huffman family who refers to herself in the first person in a few photographs including a group shot of school girls captioned "Domestic Science Class when I was a 'Frosh.'" Comparisons of photographs indicate the author of the captions is probably Anna Huffman. <br> <br> Most of the photographs feature people from multiple generations of the Huffman family in South Dakota including Grandma Benjamin. These men women and children pose in front of houses and on farms on the South Dakota prairie and at various spots in the capital city of Pierre. The family members are captured in a variety of activities common to rural life: feeding livestock killing and cleaning chickens gardening stacking hay camping cutting their own hair extracting a cow from a muddy lake tilling farmland with early motorized tractors and fishing in Lake Oahe. <br> <br> Two photographs feature Robert Benjamin Huffman - one of him while at Illinois State Normal University now Illinois State and one showing him in his World War I uniform. According to the family notes accompanying the album Robert was killed in France on October 1 1918. Several more lighthearted photographs in the album show women laughing and clowning for the camera; one photograph shows a female family member dressed as "the Hawaiian in the school parade." <br> <br> Particularly interesting are the three photographs featuring Native Americans two of them identifying the subjects. The first of these features Mr. and Mrs. Spotted Bear in Oahe S.D. The second shows Mr. and Mrs. Spotted Bear standing with Mr. and Mrs. Tall White Man. The third photograph captures a large group of Native Americans sitting in a wide circle with the caption reading "An Indian Conference Pierre So. Dak." <br> <br> Other landmarks captured here include "The old school house" the "M.E. Church at Pierre So. Dak." the "Old Missouri" River the Red Wing Seminary the "Sorensen Home Oahe So Dak." and the South Dakota State Capitol building. As with other family albums there are also numerous vacation shots with various family members in New York Virginia and Illinois; at some point Beulah and Anna drove from South Dakota to New York for vacation. <br> <br> An interesting collection of annotated vernacular family photographs from the rural American West. hardcover books

1929WRCAM55851Mainly Virginia Alabama and Texas 1929. Approximately thirty-two letters some with original transmittal envelopes; twenty-three photographs and real photo postcards; and assorted family documents calling cards and greeting cards. Overall very good condition. Housed in a modern gray archival box. A wide-ranging collection of correspondence photographs and documents centered on the Hancock family of Virginia Alabama and Texas in the second half of the 19th century and first quarter of the 20th. The Hancock family members involved in the correspondence or pictured in the photographs in this archive include Benjamin Palmer Hancock Arthur B. Hancock Thomas Benton Hancock Jane A. Hancock Jane C. Hancock Richard J. Hancock Claudia Hancock and Harris Hancock. Richard J. Hancock Sr. was father to Richard J. Jr. Arthur B. and Harris Hancock and uncle to Benjamin Palmer Hancock. Jane C. Hancock was B.P. Hancock's daughter. Thomas Benton Hancock and Jane A. Hancock were married and Claudia Hancock was their daughter. The family though spread out over vast distances seems to have remained relatively in touch with one another. The correspondents also often write from or receive letters from different cities suggesting they moved around a bit or traveled more widely than most families at the time. <br> <br> Benjamin Palmer "B.P." Hancock 1868-1943 lived in Dallas Crockett and Corpus Christi Texas in the late 19th-century and worked for both the Mexican National Railroad and the Texas Mexican Railway. He later returned to Texas working as the Division Traffic Superintendent for the Western Union Telegraph Company in Dallas from 1913 until his retirement in 1938. He also maintained a family estate in Scotia Alabama. In one 1905 letter B.P. Hancock writes home to his wife Martha in Scotia with detailed instructions for her imminent travel to meet him in New York City. He also writes a very loving letter to his daughter Jane C. Hancock in 1913 while she was living in Winslow Arkansas. He praises Jane for "the fine little girl - almost young lady - that you are today." <br> <br> Richard J. Hancock Jr. 1873-1920 writes a long letter to B. Palmer Hancock on April 12 1890. Richard was apparently working for the Galveston Harrisburg & San Antonio Railway as he writes his four-page letter on the company's stationery and mentions hearing about a couple of colleagues "surveying a new extension for San Antonio Pacific road." Richard acknowledges that B.P. and their mother are going to Virginia to visit family and encourages B.P. to "make a good impression on all of the Hancock family." He also offers B.P. a new suit and money to look good in front of the Virginia Hancocks. Richard then reports on a recent trip "down to Rio Grande" where he "had lots of fun." <br> <br> Richard J. Hancock Sr. 1838-1912 writes three letters to his nephew B. Palmer Hancock in 1902 on "Ellerslie" stationery. Ellerslie Plantation later Ellerslie Farm near Charlottesville Virginia came into the Hancock family after Richard married Thomasia Harris whose family owned the estate. Richard J. Hancock served as a Confederate captain under Stonewall Jackson during the Civil War. His letters to Palmer are mostly concerned with family business matters especially Palmer's property in Alabama. At one point Richard consoles B.P. for his mother's ill health apparently from typhoid fever. In his third letter Richard mentions his growing aversion to the life of a farmer at Ellerslie commenting that he would "quit farming and sell out but for my son Arthur." Richard had already largely turned away from farming to breeding thoroughbred racehorses at Ellerslie and became quite famous and successful at the venture winning the 1884 Preakness Stakes with his horse Knight of Ellerslie. His son Arthur Hancock later established a breeding farm in Kentucky named Claiborne Farm and became one of the most legendary horse breeders of the 20th century. <br> <br> Thomas Benton Hancock 1834-1870 lived in Centreville Alabama; a letter to him dated 1859 from a friend at the University of Virginia implores Hancock to spend some time at the school. A slightly earlier autograph note dated 1857 from a professor at Centenary College in Jackson Louisiana grants Thomas Benton leave from the school: "Mr. Thos. B. Hancock has been a student at Centenary College La. and that he has been honorably dismissed at his own request." There is also present here an 1860 letter of recommendation from a different professor at Centenary College praising T.B.'s "scholarship prudence and gentlemanly deportment" and recommending him as a teacher. T.B. Hancock died young at the age of thirty-six in 1870 and is buried in Oakland Mississippi. <br> <br> Three letters from 1882 written to "Mrs. J.A. Hancock" in Corpus Christi Texas are particularly interesting. The recipient was most certainly Jane Alexander Hancock widow of the late Thomas Benton Hancock. The three letters all concern stories submitted by J.A. Hancock to THE YOUTH'S COMPANION a long- running children's literary periodical in Boston. One of these stories titled "Sorrel Top" is bought by the magazine in one of the present letters and Mrs. Hancock is encouraged to send more stories. "Sorrel Top" appeared in the magazine later in the year as "Mrs. Marks' 'Sorrel Top'" in the October 19 1882 issue. All three letters are signed "Perry Mason & Co." the publishers of THE YOUTH'S COMPANION. Perry Mason founded the magazine in 1827 and served as its editor until his death; Erle Stanley Gardner was fond of THE YOUTH'S COMPANION as a young reader and borrowed the editor's name for his protagonist when he began writing a series of stories and books centered on his now-famous attorney/detective. <br> <br> The photographs in the present archive are a combination of cabinet card portraits and real photo postcards. The identified portraits include three of B.P. Hancock one as a younger man in Corpus Christi another inscribed "Your Son BP Hancock Dallas Tex March 1886"; one of Harris Hancock in Overton Virginia from a Charlottesville studio; and a portrait of Mrs. J.A. Hancock inscribed "For BP Hancock age 52 years." The real photo postcards feature a handful of shots from a family picnic and a large home presumably belonging to the Hancock family. <br> <br> The assorted additional material includes J.A. Hancock's copy of a Presbyterian Church pamphlet; a 1902 trust document involving Richard Hancock B. Palmer Hancock Clavelia A. Hancock Helen J. Hancock and Thomasia O. Hancock wife of Richard J. Hancock; and other assorted documents cards and invitations. There is also a handful of material relating to H.L. Carleton of Taylor and Austin Texas. Carleton was a noted pharmacist and president of the Texas Pharmaceutical Association in the early 20th century. The connection to the Hancock family is unknown though Carleton may represent another side to the family of a Hancock decendant. <br> <br> A wide-ranging slice of Hancock family history and an archive with notable research and genealogical potential. unknown books

192038961Various places 1920. Two oblong albums or portions of albums with many detached images. In all approx. 300 photographs. Many trimmed and mounted mostly 2x3 inches or smaller. A fascinating archive of photographs relating to the famous family of Cooke's Royal Circus.<br/> <br/>The Cooke family was one of several notable families during their time of circus performers and owners that spanned several generations. In circus families family members were taught and trained in the necessary skills of various acts in the circus from a young age and then integrated into the family business. Cooke's Royal Circus was started by Thomas Cooke in Scotland around 1780 after which he and his extended family members traveled around Scotland and England doing performances. They were especially noted for their equestrian acts and continued to gain in popularity and grow to around forty participating family members by the 1830s. In 1836 Thomas Cooke's son brought the show to America where they performed in cities including New York Boston and Philadelphia before returning to Britain following a mixed reception. They continued to perform throughout the rest of the 19th century and the 20th century in both travelling shows and various "permanent" locations. Images include animal acts with elephants and horses as well as clowns stunts and other acts. Many images are captioned detailing locations including Great Britain including performances at Wembley Stadium France Italy and India. Although mostly from the 1920s the album includes a loose carte-de-visite of John Henry Cooke autographed by him on verso and dated 1874. unknown books
