[Texas History][Borderlands] U.S.-Mexico borderlands photograph album, 1905-1906, centered on El Paso and Juárez, with additional views in New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, and Alaska. The album documents an early twentieth-century traveler's movement through the southern border of the U.S., when El Paso and Ciudad Juárez were being promoted through rail travel, tourism, and cross-border entertainment, and when American visitors regularly treated Mexican religious sites, plazas, bullrings, and street life as part of a border excursion circuit. Its strongest historical value lies in the concentration of images tied to the Texas-Mexico border, including Juárez bullfight and cockfight scenes, street and church views, and domestic group portraits in El Paso, alongside a labeled photograph of a Santo Domingo Pueblo corn dance (likely Kewa Pueblo, north of Albuquerque), showing non-Native travelers recording Indigenous life in the Southwest. Photograph album containing 81 original photographs, most measuring approximately 2 x 3 to 4 x 5 inches, mounted on thick black paper leaves in a cloth-bound album. Contemporary manuscript captions identify numerous locations and subjects, including "El Paso Tex," "Juarez Mex," "Bull Fight," "Cock Fight," "Near Albuquerque 1906," "1906 New Mexico," "New Mexico 1905," "Juarez Mex Church over 350 years old," and "Corn Dance. Santo Domingo." Visible subjects include family and social group portraits posed on porches and in front of residences; women in white dresses and men in coats, hats, and ties; a tree-lined park path in El Paso; religious architecture and church interiors in Juárez; a fountain identified as Robinson Park in Albuquerque; river and landscape views labeled Rio Grande; a saguaro cactus study; a donkey; a seated elderly woman in a doorway; and multiple arena photographs showing matadors, horses, attendants, spectators, and ring action in Juárez. Several photographs bear later ink inscriptions, including one later image of five men captioned "Alaska" en recto and with names on verso, including "Mayor Goldstein", a prominent Jewish businessman and six time Juneau Mayor Isadore Goldstein. The album records border travel encompassing scenes of domestic life in El Paso, tourism in Juárez, and excursions into New Mexico and the wider West. The Juárez images are especially strong, preserving direct vernacular views of public spectacle in the bullring and cockfight pit, as well as church architecture and urban settings seen from the perspective of a visiting American observer. Photographs mounted throughout; some images faded or silvered, with scattered surface wear, corner wear, occasional discoloration, and a few later annotations or tape remnants visible. Overall very good condition. …

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. [Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, ca. 1899.] Folio (28 9/16 x 21 3/8", 726mm x 542mm): with a double-page lithographed title-page and 26 double-page lithographed charts: 20 maps, 1 map in two colors and 5 profiles. Bound in contemporary half brown calf over marbled boards. Title gilt to a red-sheep label on the front board: "SENATE DOCUMENTS/VOL. 25/[rule]/No. 247/MEXICAN BOUNDARY COMMISSION/ATLAS/[rule]/55th CONGRESS, 2d SESSION/1897-98". On the spine, title gilt to black sheep. Rubbed generally, with some scuffing and skinning. Creasing and cracking to the end-matter, with some splits and chips to the edges of the leaves. Paper label pasted to the right-hand page of the title-spread: "FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS, 2D SESSION./SENATE DOC. NO. 247./ATLAS." The border between the U.S. and Mexico -- first the boundary between British territory and Spanish territory in the Americas -- had a few major inflection points: the 1762 Treaty of Fontainebleau that secretly transferred Louisiana territory from France to Spain; Pinckney's Treaty in 1796 establishing the U.S.-Florida Border; the Third Treaty of San Ildefonso in 1800 transferring Louisiana back to France; the 1803 Louisiana Purchase; the 1819 Adams-Onís Treaty giving the U.S. Florida and Oregon country; Texas's secession from Mexico in 1836 and its annexation by the U.S. in 1846; the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo granting California, Nevada, Utah and parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming to the U.S.; the 1853 Gadsden Purchase to facilitate the running of the Pacific railroad through southern New Mexico and Arizona. Why, then, should a volume be published nearly 50 years after the last major boundary agreement between the two nations? The International Boundary Commission (now the International Boundary and Water Commission) was convened bilaterally in 1882 in order to assess finer points in the shift of borders due principally to the shifting courses of rivers (principally the Colorado River and Rio Grande) over time. By 1889 the IBC was established as a permanent collaborative body that would continually assess the U.S.-Mexican border. The vastness and complexity of the border itself, detailed in two index maps, 19 detail maps and 5 profiles showing the elevation, explains why the present publication, accompanying the Report of the Boundary Commission upon the survey and remarking of the boundary between the United States and Mexico west of the Rio Grande, 1891 to 1896. The vast atlas incorporates data from the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey as well as the U.S. Hydrographic Office.…

Large photograph archive, circa 1910s-1930s, documenting U.S. and Mexican military presence along the Rio Grande border and in Sinaloa during a period of revolution, intervention, and military modernization. The photographs depict soldiers, fortifications, and daily military activity across multiple locations, providing primary-source visual evidence for the study of U.S.-Mexico border tensions, the Mexican Revolution, and interwar military development. One photograph identified en verso as taken at the "United States Immigration Station on the Rio Grande River - Border Service - 1916" situates the archive within the period of the Mexican Revolution and the U.S. Punitive Expedition, while other images extend into the 1920s and 1930s, reflecting continued military presence and surveillance. Archive comprises 22 vernacular silver gelatin photographs ranging from approximately 3.25 x 5.5 inches to 4.5 x 6.5 inches, several with manuscript annotations en versos and studio stamps including "Laboratorio Vega, Mazatlán, Sin." and "La Foto, Madero 42." Images include U.S. soldiers positioned atop sandbag fortifications with rifles, standing at border outposts, and posing beside military vehicles including an early Dodge touring car. Mexican Army scenes depict officers and enlisted men in varied uniforms, including kepis and high-collared tunics, assembled in formations, occupying trenches, and constructing earthen defenses. A photograph inscribed "12º Rgto., Mazatlán, Sin. Marzo 1929" identifies the 12th Infantry Regiment during a coastal inspection. Additional images show cavalry units riding in formation across fields, soldiers resting near agave plants, and encampments along beaches with troops engaged in labor or recreation. One aerial photograph taken from a biplane captures a valley settlement, while another image shows a rural structure marked "U.S. 19" on its roof, suggesting identification or surveillance use. Across the archive, soldiers appear in both formal and informal groupings, sometimes posed in relaxed settings with visible gestures of camaraderie. These photographs document a period of sustained militarization along the U.S.-Mexico border and within northern Mexico following the upheaval of the Mexican Revolution and subsequent stabilization efforts. The presence of both U.S. Border Service personnel and Mexican Army units illustrates parallel and overlapping military activities, including patrol, construction, and occupation of strategic terrain. The imagery of trenches, transport, and aerial observation reflects evolving military practices in the early twentieth century, while the combination of formal and informal scenes provides insight into daily life within these environments. Surface wear to several prints; overall very good condition. A concentrated visual record of binational military activity and borderland conditions during a formative period of regional conflict and modernization. Signed.…

This compelling photo archive consists of 22 real photo postcards, most with white-ink captions in the negative, depicting U.S. soldiers, Mexican Federal troops, executions, trench-warfare scenes, and cross-border skirmish zones along the Rio Grande during the Mexican Revolution and the U.S.-Mexican Border War of the 1910s. Printed in sepia and black and white, each measure 3.5" x 5". The images were taken in and around Ciudad Juárez, El Paso, and other Chihuahua and Texas borderlands, a region where U.S. military units, including African American regiments, National Guard troops, and cavalry detachments were deployed in response to revolutionary activity and cross-border raids. The RPPC range from composed group portraits of armed U.S. soldiers in "Boys in Khaki Guarding the Rio Grande" to stark documentary imagery such as the bodies of executed revolutionaries bearing gunshot wounds. Several cards show rifle pits, trench emplacements, large military encampments, and convoys of mounted troops crossing dry riverbeds or moving toward the border line. One of the most visually significant images documents a crowd of U.S. cavalry passing along a raised river embankment, underscoring the scale of the troop buildup. Another captures a large encampment beside the Rio Grande, flags raised above a broad sweep of desert landscape. Group portraits of American troops emphasize uniformity, weaponry, and camaraderie; many subjects appear to be young white or Mexican soldiers, with sporadic presence of Mexican civilians at the margins of certain frames, sometimes photographed as laborers. A powerful and historically significant archive offering an unflinching visual record of the U.S.-Mexican Border War, capturing not only military maneuvers and border fortifications but also the human cost of the conflict. Minor edge wear, light toning to some images, inscriptions in the negative remain legible throughout. Overall good to very good condition.…

[Mexico] [Border Wars] United States and Mexican Border War photograph archive, circa 1914-1916, documents military operations and occupation scenes produced during the period of armed confrontation between the United States and revolutionary Mexico in the years surrounding the Mexican Revolution. Created during the escalation of cross border conflict that followed the Tampico Affair and the subsequent United States occupation of Veracruz in April 1914, the photographs record American and Mexican troops engaged in urban combat, military drills, occupation ceremonies, and field movements along the Gulf Coast and northern borderlands. The images provide visual documentation of the military campaign ordered by President Woodrow Wilson during a decade of instability in Mexico, when revolutionary conflict, cross border raids, and American intervention shaped relations between the two nations. Archive of nineteen photographs created between approximately 1914 and 1916, primarily real photo postcards with one tintype portrait. Most photographs measure approximately 3.5 × 5.5 inches and several retain contemporary captions identifying locations and military activity. Scenes documenting the United States occupation of Veracruz include captions such as "The 5th Brigade, U.S. Army, Commanded by General Funston, taking Possession of Vera Cruz, April 30th, 1914" and "Federal Mexican Soldiers Firing from Street Corner First Day of Battle, April 21st." Additional images depict United States troops in training or formation including "U.S. Soldiers Hiking in the Sand Hills around Vera Cruz, Mexico," "U.S. Army at Vera Cruz, Mexico," and "Nebraska's Battalion." Mexican federal troops appear in photographs captioned "Serving Machine Guns" and assembled "for Grand Review, Vera Cruz, Mex." A dramatic real photo postcard titled "Firing Squad (Mexico)" depicts six riflemen firing upon a condemned prisoner kneeling at the water's edge. Another image captioned "Adobe House Destroyed by Artillery in Mexico" shows a bullet scarred building façade with mounted troops nearby. Panoramic troop movements appear in photographs captioned "Mexican Infantry entering Juárez, Mex." and "Scene at Vera Cruz, Mexico during Battle of April 21st and 22nd," the latter showing soldiers lying prone in firing positions. The archive also includes four hand colored patriotic "sweetheart" postcards sent by soldiers to loved ones bearing sentimental captions such as "Don't Forget the One You Left Behind." The tintype depicts an American soldier wearing a campaign hat and service uniform standing before a canvas tent. One postcard bears a lengthy manuscript letter written from McAllen, Texas, dated September 27, 1916, in which the writer reports: "Still here! & it's hot! but I have a nice job and plenty to do. I love it and I'm sure you would enjoy it. It is a splendid experience and I am proud of the N.G. The flag is O.K. in our hands." These photographs emerge from the years of heightened tension along the United States Mexico border between 1910 and 1919, when revolutionary upheaval within Mexico and armed incursions across the frontier led to repeated military mobilization by the United States. The occupation of Veracruz in 1914 marked one of the most significant American interventions of the period and produced several days of street fighting between United States Marines, Army units, and Mexican defenders. Light handling wear to several cards with occasional corner creasing and one example with minor margin loss. Tintype shows light surface spotting but retains clear detail. Overall very good condition. The photographs collectively record both the violence of the conflict and the symbolic displays of military presence that accompanied the occupation, including troop drills, reviews, and staged patriotic imagery circulated through postcards. …

The photographs record the service of Ben Wakefield of Toledo, Ohio, a member of Battery C, 1st Battalion, Ohio Field Artillery, stationed at Fort Bliss during the period of heightened border militarization following the 1916 raid on Columbus, New Mexico led by Francisco "Pancho" Villa and the subsequent U.S. Punitive Expedition under General John J. Pershing. The images provide visual documentation of field artillery operations, mounted logistics, and daily camp life among National Guard troops deployed to reinforce the border during a moment when the United States was simultaneously confronting instability in northern Mexico and preparing for entry into the First World War. Through portraits, training scenes, and encampment views, the archive records the mobilization of state militia forces into federal service during one of the most significant domestic military deployments of the early twentieth century.

Photographs of United States Army troops along the U.S.-Mexico border circa 1916 document military operations associated with the Pancho Villa Expedition led by John J. Pershing and record the deployment of cavalry and artillery units during a period of heightened border conflict. Produced in field conditions, these images capture soldiers, equipment, and encampments in arid terrain, providing direct visual evidence of U.S. military logistics, mounted patrols, and cross-border mobilization during the Mexican Border War. The archive supports research into early twentieth century warfare, U.S.-Mexico relations, and the operational structure of pre-World War I American military forces. Archive consists of approximately twenty two original silver gelatin photographs, most measuring about 3.25 x 5.5 inches with several larger examples, including some printed on postcard stock. The images depict cavalrymen in standard issue M1912 wool field shirts, campaign hats, riding boots, and wrap puttees, posed on horseback and alongside artillery equipment. Multiple photographs show tent encampments, supply convoys, horse and mule trains, and field kitchens distributed across desert landscapes. One recurring unidentified soldier appears in several images, including a view at a marked "Continental Divide, Elevation 6900 ft, Tombstone 25 Miles," and another near a roadside marker reading "Road constructed by Prison Labor A.D 1913-1914." Artillery scenes include horse drawn caissons transporting field guns and a close view of a 3 inch M1902 field gun with spoked wooden wheels and riveted barrel. Additional images show soldiers positioned beside artillery pieces and within organized camp environments, documenting both operational readiness and daily military life. These photographs were created during a period when the U.S. Army relied heavily on mounted units and animal powered transport prior to widespread mechanization, and they record the logistical demands of sustaining military presence across the borderlands. The Punitive Expedition marked a significant moment in U.S. military modernization, as lessons learned from these operations informed subsequent participation in World War I. The images also document the physical infrastructure of border militarization, including constructed roads and encampments, within a contested geopolitical region. Minor edge wear and handling creases consistent with field use; images remain clear and well preserved; overall very good condition. This archive provides concentrated visual documentation of U.S. Army field operations and border conflict during a formative moment in American military history.…

Pancho Villa and División del Norte Mounted Troops of the Mexican Revolution. A vintage Extra Large silver gelatin photograph by Agustín Casasola measuring 16" x 20" . Striking and rare original photograph from the early years of the Mexican Revolution, depicting Pancho Villa and a detachment of his División del Norte mounted on horseback before a weathered colonial-era convent or mission compound, likely in the state of Chihuahua or Durango. All men are in uniform, heavily armed with bandoliers and rifles, wearing wide-brimmed sombreros characteristic of the revolutionary norteño aestheticn. The image documents revolutionary leader Pancho Villa and a group of armed fighters assembled before a walled ecclesiastical compound in the mountainous regions of northern Mexico. Villa emerged as one of the central military figures of the Mexican Revolution, commanding cavalry forces known as the División del Norte that operated across Chihuahua, Durango, and other northern states during the uprising against the long dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. Photographs produced during the early revolutionary campaigns played an important role in circulating images of insurgent leadership and helped establish Villa's reputation as a charismatic popular commander. Casasola, Agustín Víctor photograph. Casasola Studio, circa 1911. Large silver gelatin photograph with "Casasola Praga No. 16, Mexico" studio stamp on versoPancho Villa and revolutionary cavalry before church compound. Mexico City: The photograph depicts Villa and a detachment of mounted soldiers positioned before a colonial era church or mission compound, likely located in the northern Mexican states where Villa's forces operated. The men are mounted on horseback and dressed in revolutionary military attire including bandoliers, rifles, and wide brimmed sombreros associated with the norteño revolutionary aesthetic. Villa, believed to be the third rider from the right, appears in the central grouping of mounted officers. The architectural background features domed towers and high walls characteristic of colonial religious buildings, creating a visual contrast between the armed revolutionary force and the remnants of Mexico's colonial institutional landscape. Agustín Víctor Casasola founded one of the most influential photographic studios documenting the Mexican Revolution, producing images that later formed the core of the Archivo Casasola. Casasola photographers recorded revolutionary leaders, soldiers, civilians, and daily life during the conflict, shaping both Mexican historical memory and international visual understanding of the revolution. Large format prints such as this example were produced in limited numbers for press circulation, archives, or exhibitions documenting the conflict. Photograph measures approximately 16 × 20 inches. Minor edge wear with a small closed tear at the upper left margin and light creasing at the lower right margin away from the image area; print surface clean with strong tonal range and detail.
