Hardcover. sm4to. 26cm, 92p., with 94 colour chromo lithos, album with the original maroon red elaborated gilt and back stamped upper cover, beveled boards, near fine (sc). ~ A fine example of a Victorian scrap booking capitalizing on the production of prints using the Baxter production method developed in the 1830's. William Dickes (1815 1892) was a popular English engraver and printer and later in his career started his own printing company of which these prints are fine examples.

Personal photograph album of a voyage on the M.S. City of Rayville from Port Said to India and Burma. 61 black and white photographs neatly annotated each measuring 6.5 x 8.5cm. Original covers have been replaced with rather amateur cork covers and unlettered cloth tape spine. Some photographs are marked and stained but generally a very interesting album. The album bears the name Nicholas Kyryczuk on the first leaf. It appears that Kyryczuk was a sailor on board the M.S. City of Rayville, (5,833 tons owned by American Pioneer Lines) an American registered freighter which was sunk by a German mine off Cape Otway on the south coast of Victoria in November 1940. the M.S. City of Rayville holds the dubious distinction of being the first US vessel sunk during World War II and having the first US seaman to be killed in the war among her crew. Loosely inserted in the album are two Australian newspaper clippings with stories about the sinking. Although this album covers a period before the sinking it is interesting nonetheless for the great interest that the photographer showed in the ports visited and the locals they observed.

4to. 12.25 x 10.25 in. [26 unnumbered leaves], thick paper stock. With 52 tipped-in albumen photographs, sized from 2.75 x 4.25 up to 7 x 9 in., some with embossed Frith Series stamp, 1 w/ Gibson Penzance in negative. Emerald green Victorian cloth over thick beveled boards, decorative motifs on front cover in gilt & black, gilt ruling on spine (minor wear to corners, slight bumping, inner hinges repaired), still a VG exemplar, w/ stationer's label on front pastedown for W. Whitely, Westbourne Grove (fl. 1888-1895). This Victorian souvenir photo album offers appealing sepia-tinted views of historic and important European and British sites in the last decades of the 19th century. The opening large albumen photo of the Cologne Cathedral rising towering over the surrounding city appears to have been taken by Anselm Schmitz (1839-1903), who shot and sold a wide range of images of the famed landmark. Included as well are images of the exteriors and interiors of Ely Cathedral, Salisbury Cathedral, Worcester Cathedral by Frances Frith, with several exterior and interior views showing the results of the 19th-century restoration effort. The compiler had a definite interest in the architectural details of doorways and portals, with many of the images focusing on historic city gates, cathedral portals, as well as naves. The photo of Norwich Castle by Frith incorporates the wrought ironmonger's stall of Fitt & Parke Stalham who were responsible for the iron fencing, and decorative iron work elements surrounding the castle; a bustling market scene with tea merchants, book stalls, and many other vendors filling the image with Cathedral looming in the distance; the stark and brooding landscape near Cardiff Castle and the coastal town of Penarth, Wales; as well as the Cornish coast, ivy-covered castle ruins, and the town of Penzance. Frith (1828-1898) noted photographer, and entrepreneur made several trips to Egypt from 1856 through the 1860s, and later established his very successful studio in Riegate, Surrey. It is now known that many photographs stamped the "Frith Series," were often taken by other contemporary associates of Frith's studio, including Robert Napper, Frederick William Sutton, Hugo Lewis Pearson (Japan), and Frank Mason Good. John Gibson (1827-1920), along with his sons Alexander and Herbert, took some of the most remarkable and historically significant photographs of the Victorian era, and their vast archive of glass plate negatives offers an invaluable visual resource for Penzance and West Penwith.

This splendid and large photo album contains albumen photos and souvenirs collected during a Victorian grand tour in the 1870s. The album opens with images of Warwick Castle, Kenilworth Castle, the cottage of Anne Hathaway, and Shakespeare's Home Stratford-on-Avon; along with views of Trafalgar Square, Hotel Metropole, Westminster, the Tower of London, and Windsor Castle by H. Brooks by James Valentine (1815-1879), noted Scottish photographer, whose sons William Dobson Valentine and George D. Valentine carried on the business into the Edwardian era. The many photos of sites in Switzerland include a two photo panorama of the famed pedestrian footbridge, the Pont des Bergues in Geneva; a splendid image of climbers on a glacier near Chamonix; as well as views of Bern, Lake Geneva, Interlaken, the stunning Hotel Giessbach and the Giessbach Falls above Lake Brienz; the Gutsch-Bahn Hotel and Talstation, and more. The album concludes with a number of large albumen photos showing the Paris altered by Georges-Eugene Haussmann, commissioned by Napoleon III. These include views of the Boulevard de la Madeleine; Place de la Concorde, l'Avenue du Bois de Boulogne, the Paris Opera House, and even a view of the front portico of Notre Dame. Of special interest is the small oil painting of Castle Chillon, a Medieval Castle with the oldest sections erected before 1005, and proved a pivotal outpost on the eastern end of Lake Geneva.

Oblong 4to. 12 x 8.5 in. [30 pp (unpaginated).], thick double-sided faux-wood grain printed card-stock leaves, die-cut windows for inserting cabinet card & boudoir-sized card albumen photos, gilt borders. With 30 original albumen photographs, 3 boudoir-sized albumen mounted on studio board, approx. 7 x 4.5 in., photographer's imprints at margin, or w/in negative; 27 cabinet card albumen photos mounted on studio boards, most sized approx. 4.5 x 6 in., photographer's imprints at lower fore-edge, or on versos, one small mounted lozenge CDV of Civil War Corporal. Contemporary dos-a-dos blue & red padded velvet binding, articulated piano-hinge spine, nickel plated bosses on both covers, still preserving original nickel-plated clasp, decorated pastedowns, preserving original label for the Art Album Co. of Battle Creek Michigan, a.e.g. (minor chipping & tears to a couple of the die-cut windows, some wear & rubbing to velvet), still a remarkable exemplar, with all the images retaining excellent bright contrast & clarity. An outstanding Victorian dos-a-dos parlour photo album from a seemingly notable, and well-to-do Minneapolis, Minnesota family in the Gilded Age. On the "Blue" side the album opens with albumen boudoir-sized art photos of early Toronto, including a "birds-eye" view. The first boudoir photo includes a ink manuscript list of "a few interesting dates," with mentions of Edward Murphy, Jr. settling after 8 weeks passage (presumably Ireland) in Toronto, followed by his family of 9 in 1837. Other dates mention settling of George & James Walker in Toronto, 1837 Andrew joining the Volunteers on the Frontier, and in 1843 Edward opening his business a "98" Long Street, and building of the Terauley Street House (near present-day Univ. of Toronto, Toronto General Hospital, etc.). There are additional dates, and note that John Walker and family "went West" in 1846, but unfortunately for this cataloguer, there were a myriad of Edward Murphy's, John Walker's, and similar named families, none of whom seemed to match either the entry date points. Only documentary evidence was that an Edward Murphy, Jr. appears in the 1837 Toronto, ONT street directory. Edward's business appears to have been prosperous, as this album incorporates a wide range of studio photographers during the Gilded Age, from San Antonio to Chicago, Milwaukee to Minneapolis. Two of the albumen studio photos (1 boudoir, 1 cabinet) interestingly depict a montage of smaller cabinet photos capturing all the images of Company A, First Regiment, N.G.S.M., or the storied Minnesota First Regiment National Guard, at the time commanded by Captain John Amory. The Minnesota First Regiment is perhaps best remembered for their heroic charge in 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg, and in the subsequent decades never lacked for sufficient recruits. The mounted CDV of an unidentified Civil War Corporal is included in the album, and may have been from either the Murphy, or Walker sides of the family, if the internal MS notes are to be referenced. Of special interest are the four wonderful albumen cabinet photos depicting the N.S. Toboggan Club -- North Star Toboggan Club founded in 1886, and formed for tobogganing sporting events during the Saint Paul-Minneapolis Winter Carnival, as well as competing against the Makwa Club, Flour City Club, and Snowshoe Club on their individual Toboggan slides -- basically uncontrolled and fast ice luge racing. The North Star Club's slide was West of Minnesota on Glenwood Hill in what is now Theodore Wirth Park. The toboggan slide was probably located near where ski jumps were built later after the area became Saratoga Park, then Glenwood Park, and finally Theodore Wirth in 1909. The group shot provides first names, or monikers, of the eight intrepid toboganners in Feb., 1887, and the three individual ones depict Boyd, Ballard & Dane, all wearing their price ribbons from the competitions. Many of the extended family members were captured by such Minnesota studio photographers as H.A. Anderson who operated at 428 Nicollet, and was the successor to H.R. Farr; the very popular James A. Brush, whose studios tented to move up and down Nicollet Ave., and Hennepin Ave. from 1875-1890; G.W. Floyd who first partnered with Power, and then expanded to three studios himself on Fifth and Hennepin; and William H. Jacoby (1841-1906) who with his son C.L. Jacoby produced the Minnesota First Regiment Christmas souvenir montage photos, and was active until his death in California, and even partnered with Haynes for a while, and perhaps best remembered for his robbers' portraits of the participants in the famed "Northfield" robbery. The photo of "Father" probably Edward Murphy, Jr. while in San Antonio, TX on business was taken by the Paris & Rothwell studio, operated by Arthur C. Paris and Isaac N. Rothwell on 11&13 West Commerce until 1892.

An album of crests, monograms and other decorative armorial devices laid down on 84 vellum leaves, with elaborate hand-drawn and coloured borders, many pages with facing keys on the versos, pp. 4to (190 x 150mm), attractively bound in contemporary full red morocco gilt, 'Crests, Monograms &c.' within a garland, gilt edges, gold metal clasp (engraved 'Barritt & Co.'); clasp pulls away from lower board but is otherwise firm and intact, extremities very lightly rubbed; modern hand-drawn armorial book label of Paul Blaise Rooney, very good. A very colourful and attractive album of cut-and-pasted crests, monograms and insignia representing a huge array of institutions, bodies and private individuals. Mostly organised according to type, with cleverly designed facing key diagrams, here are represented royalty and aristocracy, country and town houses, regiments and military bodies, constituent colleges of Oxford and Cambridge as well as other educational institutions, museums, clubs and societies. The first page is devoted entirely to a calligraphic rendering of the name Helen, which is the only clue to its compiler. While this kind of taxonomical project was not uncommon in the middle decades of the nineteenth century, what sets this album apart is the flare and care that has gone into the design; immaculately rendered and highly decorative foliate, scrolled and geometric borders appear throughout, many of the crests are presented in cartouches of various kinds, and various themes elaborated through the design, such as handsomely drawn figures of mounted and foot-soldiers for the military examples. A fine example of this type of album and a fascinating snapshot of mid nineteenth-century society.

20 leaves of ms. Verse, 12 leaves with engraved illustrations, some coloured, including portraits of John Francis Kemble and Charles Lamb, and 64 blank leaves, with an inscription of the second leaf, "Mrs. Lane/ with the best wishes of/ James M. Daly/ Knaresborough 29 July 1851." The following leaf has the autograph "Lydia Amelia Lane" on the top margin of the recto, and a gilt oval design with centre surrounding her initials, "L. A. L." Daly is also the author of one of the first poems in the volume, addressed to "L. A. L." One of the tipped-in colour engravings is an illustration from Harriet Wilson's Memoirs, which might have been thought a little indelicate for a lady of Mrs. Lane's standing; but there may be more to the illustrations and the verse than is immediately apparent. Bound in full hard grain green morocco with a front cover gilt to an arabesque designs of circles and with central rectangular panel, spine ornately gilt with a harp motif, gilt border on rear cover, all edges gilt. A fine copy, even if Mrs. Lane seems not to have finished adding items to the scrapbook.
