Description:
American West, 1890. Cabinet Card measuring 5 ½ x 4 inches on larger mount. Identification on ink verso. Some fading, very good. Very Good. A photograph of a Chinese man on horseback in western attire, possibly taken in Oregon or California in the 1890s. A search of genealogical and newspaper records yield results for one or possibly two Charley Youngs of Chinese descent living in the United States during the period. We find a record of a Charley Young of Chinese descent living in San Francisco in the 1890s, with a birthday listed as 1865. There are also multiple newspaper accounts of a Charley Young in Portland, who married the superintendent of a school in Portland: "Charley Young, an Americanized Chinaman." He married Mary Bly, superintendent of the Baptist Chinese Mission School in Portland. A Charley Young later appears in court records for a smuggling case involving prominent Chinese merchants in Oregon, and describes a "Charley Young, an Americanized Chinaman recently married to a white… Read More

Description:
Various Places, 1920. Oblong folio, cloth over cardstock, 15 x 11 inches. Photographs and realphoto postcards, most measuring around 5 x 3 1/2 inches, mounted to pages. The system of national parks was created at first in a somewhat piecemeal fashion, with the Department of the Interior holding responsibility for establishing each park individually. Chief White Calf of the Blackfeet famously negotiated the sale of the bulk of the lands that would form Glacier National Park in 1895, with the agreement being that the US Government would allow for Blackfoot hunting (Chief White Calf's son, Chief Two Guns White Calf, would later travel to Washington in protest of the government's subsequent actions). The establishment of the National Park Service in 1916 coincided roughly with the dawn of American motor tourism. This album dates from that early period of National Park recreation, and bears evidence as to the recreation that happened around the early part of the century. The album shows scenery in… Read More

Deadwood: H.R. Locke, 1890. Albumen photographs measuring 9 x 7 inches on larger mounts. Very good contrast, some chips and wear to mounts. Very Good. A group of four photographs by Henry Robinson Locke, who operated a studio in Deadwood, South Dakota in the early statehood years. He photographed the Black Hills region. This collection of four photographs shows a gold mill in Deadwood, a cyanide mill in Deadwood, and two views of Lead City, which was the home of the Homestake Mining Company during the period, and continued to be a center for natural resource extraction for several decades following the initial Gold Rush period of the 1870s which brought the first wave of Euro-American settlers to the area.

Description:
Claremont, 1838. Stampless letter with circular Claremont, New Hampshire postmark and 18 ½ cent rate. Fine condition. Fine. An entertaining letter written by Marion Richards of Claremont, New Hampshire, defending the northern way of life and describing the relative calm in New Hampshire during the Panic of 1837, which apparently had been the subject of previous correspondence between the two. She makes an interesting reference to "female rights," which she says she does not support, perhaps also in reference to an earlier conversation. She writes, "Your father speaks of the severe effects the course of the administration has had upon your city, and consequently upon the high-raised hopes of her citizens; this, undoubtedly is true in regard to all; all have been involved as it were in one general ruin and all have suffered. We, as individuals, it is true, felt the change and with others echoed the cry, 'hard times', but still in comparison with many, suffered little. Embarked in no dangerous… Read More

Description:
Lawrence, 1880. Albumen photograph on card stock, 7 ¾ x 4 ½ inches. Good. Working conditions were notoriously bad in Lawrence, one of the industrial hubs of the textile industry in the late nineteenth century after the harnessing of the Merrimack River's water power in 1845. The city was a hub of immigration - mostly Irish - and many immigrants who were familiar with mill work flocked to the city in the 1850s. In 1860 an accident at the Pemberton Mill killed 145 workers. The Bread and Roses strike of 1912, also known as the Lawrence Textile Strike, was the culmination of decades of poor working conditions. This uncommon occupational photograph of female mill workers gives scant clues as to the background of the workers or specifics of the factory. We find no record of the photographer, a J.J. Greene, based in Lawrence. The seven women pictured are mostly looking off-camera, suggesting that the photographer had a companion. The date is unknown but the albumen cabinet card format and general feel… Read More

Description:
New York: Arnold Genthe, 1920. Silver gelatin print, 6 ¾ x 9 ¼ inches on larger mount. Signed by Genthe on the mount, inscribed by Marlowe as Marlowe Sothern on the mount as follows: "To Jean: our little comrade on our walks in Beautiful Stockbridge. In remembrance also of 'Sun Yat Sen' and Choo-Chio Chow. September. 1940. Julia Marlowe Sothern. Very Good. An uncommon image of the actress, feminist and suffrage advocate Julia Marlowe, who adopted the name - though never legally - Julia Marlowe Sothern after working with the Shakespearean actor E.H. Sothern. Ill health led Marlowe to retire from the stage in 1924 and she was seldom seen in public. This photograph, inscribed later in her life, is an uncommon relic from her reclusive later years. We can find no record of a Jean or the names mentioned. Arnold Genthe, who famously photographed the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 from the site of his destroyed studio, moved to New York in 1911, where he became a portrait photographer. He most likely… Read More

Oberlin, 1868. Albumen photographs, 2 ½ x 3 ½ inches on larger mounts. Some fading to one of the photographs, other image with excellent contrast, near fine condition overall. Near Fine. An uncommon early pair of views of the Second Ladies' Boarding House at Oberlin College in the 1860s, taken at a time when Oberlin was one of few coeducational colleges, having first admitted women in 1837. Oberlin's Second Ladies Hall was built in 1861-1863 and featured Itlianate architecture and a rooftop balcony. The building was opened for student accommodations in 1865. The first floor held an assembly room, a reading room, a dining room, parlors and stewards' quarters. The second and third floors housed 100 women. The building was destroyed by a fire in 1889.

Description:
Oregon, 1923. Silver gelatin photograph mounted to cardstock measuring 6 ¼ by 4 ⅞ inches. Press marks verso. Some wear, very good overall. Very Good. An image of the women's rights activist and author Ruth Hale, likely taken at one of her well-publicized trips to the Pendleton Round-Up in Oregon in 1922 or 1923. Hale is shown on horseback in western attire. Hale was very active during this period in efforts to allow women to keep their names after marriage. The verso identifies her as "Ruth Hale / Mrs. Heywood [sic] Brown." Hale traveled with a group of Eastern writers to the Pembleton Round-Up in 1922 and 1923, though she appears to have gotten lost in 1922, a trip that was covered widely at the time. We find no other record of this image, which was found in the Brown Brothers archive.

Description:
New York, 1871. Folded letter, fine condition. Fine. A letter written by Rebecca A. Morse, the activist and member of Sorosis, to the Snow family in Rockland, Maine, in 1871. The letter concerns a fundraising venture that is likely for the Cary sisters - Phoebe and Alice - who both died in 1871 Morse writes, "I know you will sympathize with me in the desire to honor the memory of the sweet sister Singers, and more than that as they believed with us in opening up to women of all avenues to usefulness and [..?..], and have done much of the good work of inaugurating that broader usefulness and higher life." Alice Cary had been the president of Sorosis, the first professional women's club in the U.S. While we can't pin down the exact fundraising event taking place from the letter, circumstances make it highly likely that it was a memorial for the Cary sisters. As a postscript, Morse writes: "Is it not a nice thing the getting up this memorial? Of course Lucy and Susan will help & your Mother." Lucy and… Read More

New York, 1910. Twenty photographs measuring 6 x 8 and smaller. Excellent contrast, some varied wear and chips at edges, editorial marks verso, very good overall. The Manhattan suffragist, socialite and author Katherine Duer Mackay founded the Equal Franchise Society and was instrumental in encouraging wealthier women to take up the cause of suffrage in Manhattan and beyond.

Description:
New York: Underwood and Underwood, 1919. First Edition. Gelatin silver prints, 7 ¾ x 5 ½ inches each on 11 ½ x 7 inch black paper mounts, captioned with affixed text. Very Good. Two WWI-era press photographs related to the Negro 15th Infantry Division of the New York National Guard (a.k.a. the 369th US Infantry Regiment) and their white commander, Colonel William Hayward. One photograph shows the division on parade in New York following their return from combat duty in France in 1919, the other is a well-known image of Hayward, who organized the all-black unit and served as its leader. Fighting for a record-breaking 191 consecutive days alongside French troops in the trenches, the regiment became known as the "Harlem Hellfighters." The opportunity for African-Americans to serve in WWI arose from the Selective Service Act of 1917, which drafted all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty. Special segregated training camps were established and units were formed. The US National Archives… Read More
