[Portland, OR: Sunshine Division, Portland Police Bureau, 1931]. One large silver gelatin sepia-tinted panoramic photo, sized 34.75 x 8 in., text in lower part of image, excellent contrast (minor creasing, slight wear, minor spotting & toning in couple spots), still VG image with excellent contrast. This souvenir panoramic picnic photo was taken of the Sunshine Division volunteers at their charity shooting event in February, 1931. The image shows police officers, men and women in Jazz Age Dress, men in knickers and argyle socks, and several holding shotguns. Founded in 1922 by Portland City Mayor George Baker who had been forced to lay off 40 police officers due to the recession, he gathered volunteer civilians to serve in emergency situations. The group quickly became dubbed “George Baker’s Sunshine Boys” as they spread sunshine to the households they visited and left food and funds. together with the KGW radio variety show the “Hoot Owls” they solicited funds during a segment, or division of the program and by the late 1920s were known as the Sunshine Division. The Police Reserve Volunteers gathered food, collected funds, held fund raisers, and operated out of the East Precinct station at SE 7th & Alder in Portland. The Portland Gun Club was organized in January, 1907 at the old Irvington Racetrack behind the race horse barns for trap shooting. By 1913 they had relocated to their current location with 30 acres on the east end of Powell Boulevard. See: Lori S. Kuechler, The Portland Police Sunshine Division: An Early History (2003).

[London]: Te Daily News, 1910. Large (9 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches) souvenir card that was sold at the famous Bournemouth aviation meet of 1910. It is almost entirely taken up with photographic portraits of aviators at the Meet; Paulhan, Farman, Rolls, Graham-White, Grace and Cockburn. Also there are two portraits of city officials and three scenic views of the town. Unfortunately this meeting was also the place where Charles Rolls (a director and co-founder of Rolls-Royce Ltd.) crashed and died in his Wright brothers airplane (his image is on the right side of the card)., His Wright flyer was built in England rather than by the American Wright company, and his crash was attributed to the inferior construction. In 1910 Bournemouth was celebrating its centenary, and as part of the festivities held an aviation meeting at Southbourne Aerodrome where 19 competitors could compete for cash prizes. Categories included longest flight, speed, altitude and slowest speed. The world speed record at the time was just 47…
