Miniature Photos, or Real Photo Postcards of Juneau, Alaska

Baker City, Oregon: Wesley Andrews Inc, 1909. Very Good. Miniature Photos, or Real Photo Postcards of Juneau, Alaska, Wesley Andrews Inc., Baker City, Oregon, circa 1904-1929, 2 7/8 x 1 7/8 inches.


Twelve miniature real photo postcards, each measuring 2 11/16 x 1 11/16 inches in a box measuring 2 7/8 x 1 7/8 inches. Box has small creases at the back flaps; else clean, unmarked, very good condition. No edge wear or scratches on photos; all have a bit of a bend due to the way the box was stored, but this could easily be corrected by placing them under weight. Very good condition.

A lovely set of photographs of Juneau, Alaska in the early 1900s. Of special interest are the glacier photographs - a stark difference between then and now! A fun and unique item.

Charles Wesley Andrews (1875-1950) was one of the Pacific Northwest's pioneering photographers. In 1904 he moved from Ontario, Canada to Baker City, Oregon, and opened his photography studio, Wesley Andrew Inc. In 1929, he moved to Portland and continued his photography business until his retirement in 1940.

Scarce; no copies found in OCLC or commerce as of January 2024, though there were plenty of other photographs and miniature photo sets by Wesley Andrews Inc.
