Description:
Circle City, Alaska, and on a steamer between Juneau and Seattle, Nov. 10, 1896; Feb. 17, 1897.. [12]pp. typed on folio sheets of onion-skin paper, plus three hand-drawn maps. A total of some 6,750 words. Stapled at upper edge. Three horizontal folds. Near fine. A very interesting pair of typed letters from a young man in Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush. The anonymous author wrote these two letters to his parents, describing his journey overland and by water to the Birch Creek mining district, his experiences mining for gold, and his decision to go into business as a merchant. The letters are written in a detailed style that indicates an educated author. They include three manuscript sketches showing the routes traversed in Alaska and provide a great deal of information about the writer's experiences in the Klondike. These letters are typed, but they were likely originally handwritten by the author, who later typed them (and included his manuscripts maps and sketch) in order to send them to his… Read More

Description:
San Antonio: E.O. Goldbeck, National Photo & News Service, [ca. 1930].. Two panoramic photographs, 10 x 48½ inches and 10 x 34½ inches. Minor edge wear and creasing. Very good. An interesting pair of panoramic photographs relating to the Panama Canal Zone around 1930. The photographs were produced by the prolific panoramist E.O. Goldbeck during one of his many jaunts to record American military installations in exotic locales. One is dated June 1930, but it is reasonable to assume Goldbeck photographed both subjects around the same time, since the Panama Canal Zone is no short trip from San Antonio. The pair of panoramas include: 1) CULEBRA CUT - PANAMA CANAL ZONE. 10 x 48½ inches. A well-composed image showing a steamship rounding a corner of the Culebra Cut, an artificial valley cutting through the Continental Divide in Panama and one of the greatest engineering projects of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Begun in 1881 by the French and not finished until 1913 by the United States, the… Read More

Moderate foxing throughout. A very good copy, wholly unsophisticated. An important and very rare American view book, showing scenes in and around Philadelphia, primarily notable public works and major public buildings, ranging from the University of Pennsylvania to the Eastern Penitentiary, U.S. Mint, Naval Asylum, U.S. Bank, Merchants' Exchange, and more. This issue also includes four additional plates, being north, south, east, and west views from City Hall, forming a panorama. The panorama plates are perhaps the most interesting in the work, and are often lacking. Wild was well known as a landscape artist and panorama painter; shortly after this work came out he moved to St. Louis, where he produced the first lithographically illustrated work issued there, THE VALLEY OF THE MISSISSIPPI ILLUSTRATED.

Description:
Los Angeles: Japanese Photo Studio Association, [1940].. Panoramic photograph, 10 x 24¾ inches. Minor wear, vertical crease through image near the right edge. Very good. A striking panoramic photograph picturing the Japanese-American celebrants at the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Buddhist school at the Los Angeles branch of the Higashi Honganji Temple. The photograph is titled and dated in Japanese script; it relates the date of the celebration as the 13th, 14th, and 15th of September in the year 2600 (after the birth of the Emperor Jimmu), which is 1940. The photograph pictures a few hundred Issei and Nissei men, women, and children in a mixture of traditional Japanese gowns and caps, and western suits and dresses. There are a few banners in the background relating to the temple and the celebration. The Higashi Honganji Buddhist Temple is still active in Los Angeles. The celebration depicted here came just two short years before the beginning of the Japanese-American internment period,… Read More

Long hook-shaped closed vertical tear at middle of image. Good. A sobering panoramic photograph featuring the attendees of a Japanese-American funeral in the mid-20th century. The image features about a hundred finely-dressed Japanese Americans ranged around a flower-covered coffin at center. Elderly attendees sit in the pews of what appears to be a Buddhist Temple. Interestingly, those standing at the altar all appear to be Japanese-American, while the majority of those sitting in the pews appear to be Caucasian. Unfortunately, the photograph is not titled and does not reveal a photographer's credit, leaving the ultimate identity of the attendees and the location of the funeral unknown.

Minor bumping, creasing, and some spotting along the right edge including a short closed repaired tear, a few creases, a tiny hole in the grass portion of the image area, light soiling at left edge. Overall very good condition. An early and substantial panoramic photograph depicting hundreds of Japanese Americans celebrating the completion of the Salinas Buddhist Church assembly hall and the installation of the Buddha on November 27-28, 1926. The Salinas Buddhist Church was founded on California Street in 1925 by Issei and Nissei worshippers and the construction was completed on the day this photograph was taken. The opening of the temple was preceded by the Ochigo parade and this image likely pictures the participants in that parade, as many of the children are wearing stylized costumes. The original altar shrine is visible at the center of the image. Several rows of men,… Read More
