From page iv of the Publishers' Notice: Most of the illustrations in this volume have been engraved from original drawings, or daguerreotypes taken for the purpose. The frontispiece is somewhat of a curiosity, each copy being an original sun-picture on paper. The great luminary has here entered into direct competition with other artists in the engraving business our readers can judge how well he has succeeded. |

Heald - Rare Books, Prints & Maps Courtesy of Donald A. Heald, #14176 The Pagoda of Hallibeed, illustrated by fifty-six photographic views, with descriptive letter-press London: Published by Thomas M'Lean, 1859. Folio (19 1/4 x 12 inches). Letterpress title, 2pp. introduction, and descriptions of plates, errata slip tipped to verso of Introduction. 56 albumen photographs (each approximately 11 x 8 inches), each mounted on card, on guards. Expertly bound to style in brown half morocco incorporating the original pebble-grain cloth-covered boards, original gilt lettered morocco label on upper cover, spine in six compartments with raised bands, the bands highlighted in gilt, lettered in gilt in the second compartment, cream/yellow glazed endpapers, gilt edges. Limited edition of 25 copies: a very fine copy of this masterpiece amongst early photographically-illustrated works. In late 1856 on the recommendation of a 'Dr. Neill, of the 1st Madras Light Cavalry' Oakeley set out to photograph the Holysaleswara Temple, a magnificent example of Hindu architecture and sculpture begun during the first half of the 12th century. The journey involved a march of some twenty days, 'along the most miserable cross country roads conceivable' before reaching the temple: 'Having seen a great number of the most celebrated Pagodas in the South of India, I can unhesitatingly assert, it far surpasses any, even the most gorgeous of these beautiful structures.' 'Having a Photographic Apparatus with me, I lost no time in committing to waxed paper faithful representations of almost every portion of the Sculpture.' Despite working under very difficult circumstances and having lost 'a considerable portion' of his photographic equipment on the march to the temple, Oakeley here presents a range of images that demonstrate his consummate skill at composition. The images are all the more remarkable when one considers that these were Oakeley's first attempts 'at Photographing in a hot climate'. Between 1854 and 1857, four photographers are known to have made the difficult journey to Halebid: Tripe, Pigou, Neil and Richard Banner Oakeley. According to Janet Dewan, "Oakley's series is the most interesting photographically".

Every view is of two pictures almost the same, but not quite so. They are taken by two instruments at the same time, and not quite from the same spot. One is a view as seen by the right eye, and one as seen by the left eye. |

Blue contemporary cloth, blindtooled borders, gilt title on upper cover, spine with gilt title, all edges gilt. (Bound by Chr. Haustedt in Stockholm). This is one of the earliest books in Sweden, which was illustrated with original photographs. The photographs were taken the year before "Molins fontõn". The work is a comprehensive and costly scientific work, very rare and the most interesting work with original photographs that has been published in Sweden. From "Ny Illustrerad Tidning", 1866, no. 27: "Let it be known that this interesting work, soon to go to the press, will be printed in a large folio edition and will be provided with an abundance of photographs and wood cuts, the costliness of which entails the book's appreciated hundred pages not being sold without a high price (60 to 70 riksdaler). Consider thereto that a mere 50 copies are to be published in French". This scientific work treats the "Malmska Hvalen". A magnificent young male blue whale was found stranded on the 29th of October 1865 at Backa, 10 kilometers from Gothenburg. The zoologist Malm did not want the whale dismembered. With three steam ships it was drawn free and towed ro the wharf of Lindholmens Mekaniska verkstad in Gothenburg. On the 4th of November 1865 photography and measurement of the whale was carried out. A wooden construction was built and after many setbacks the skin was put in place. The project came to be very expensive. The whale was on show in conjunction with the large exhibition in Stockholm 1866. |

London: Chiswick Press for Sampson Low, Marston, Low and Searle, 1873 NYPL, 258 Truthful Lens, 24 Gernsheim Incunabula, S70 The Photobook: A History (vol. I), 31 William Bradford, a popular American artist, was a traveler and adventurer fascinated with the Arctic landscape. His magnificent volume, "The Arctic Regions," the result of six expeditions to the area, is considered a landmark in the history of the photographically illustrated book. Sumptuously bound and profusely illustrated with original photographs, the text combined sober scientific observation with romantic hyperbole. It features 141 spectacular albumen photographs, including a 2-part panorama, which set it apart from other accounts that were illustrated with engravings. The Art Journal of London hailed the publication as "the most instructive work on the frozen seas that has ever appeared." Working under Bradford''s supervision were John Dunmore and George Crichterson, photographers associated with the prominent firm, James Wallace Black Studio, in Boston. Although these men are credited with the photographs it is now believed that Bradford himself may have taken many of the pictures, which feature remarkable scenes of icebergs and ice floes in addition to pictures of indigenous people ("Eskimaux") and moored ships. A source of great interest throughout the nineteenth century, the Arctic blossomed in the public imagination, manifesting itself through a widespread desire for images, stories, and interpretations of the seemingly desolate area. The images in "The Arctic Region" depict views of an alien, frozen land and its exotic inhabitants. Recounting his voyage, Bradford described working under adverse conditions. The harsh weather often caused major setbacks and annoyances among the ship''s crew. Dunmore also described a dangerous instance in which both their equipment and lives were at stake: "We sailed about sixty miles to the mouth of a glacier, where the icebergs break off, to take some views. Just as we were landing a large berg broke off which sent the water up twenty feet all over us, and washed away collodion, developing glass, green baize, etc., and came very near taking is along with them." Yet, despite these challenges, they produced remarkable photographs of a stunning, and now endangered, landscape. The volume is a tribute to Bradford''s heroic vision and the photographers who skillfully worked in the most difficult of circumstances. |

| 55. |  | William Henry Jackson 1874 Title page for "Descriptive Catalogue of the Photographs of the United States Geological Survey of The Territories for The Years 1869 to 1873, inclusive" by W.H. Jackson (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1874) Title page Google Books Preface It has been customary, heretofore, merely to catalogue the results of each season's operations in a few pamphlet pages of numbers and titles only, but the increasing interest in, and demand for the more striking views, calls for a complete descriptive account of the collection, and I have endeavored, in the following pages, to supply as much information as the somewhat limited space allows. The descriptions are mainly compiled from the reports for the corresponding years. The collection, thus far, numbers upward of thirteen hundred landscape negatives, the greater portion of them of subjects that had never been taken, and probably will not be for many years to come, or until the country has advanced into civilization. By no other means could the characteristics and wonderful peculiarities of the hitherto almost unknown western half of our continent be brought so vividly to the attention of the world. That they are appreciated, the demand for them, from all quarters of the globe, amply testifies. It is not to be expected that they- should possess uniform excellence as the conditions under which they were made were as variable as the winds, and the difficulties encountered and surmounted in obtaining many of the most valuable views, are almost incredible. As a whole, however, their excellence is quite marked, and is a trinmph over difficulties. The Indian catalogue includes a list of over one thousand subjects and sixty-six tribes, representing nearly every portion of the western Territories, and their value to the ethnography of the aborigines will soon be very great. They are mostly studies of their habits and costumes, taken in their own villages and among their own mountains, showing their every-day life. They are fast passing away or conforming to the habits of civilization, and there will be no more faithful record of the past than these photographs. To their future historian they will prove invaluable. The subjects made under the direction of this survey formed the nucleus, to which has been added nearly one thousand negatives through the munificent liberality of Wm. Blackmore, esq., a wealthy English gentleman, deeply interested in ethnography. The addition is especially valuable as it embraces many other collections, dating back twenty years. Especial attention is being paid to the subject each season, and additions made to the collections upon every opportunity. |
| 56. |  | William Henry Jackson 1874 Title page for "Catalogue of Photographs of Indians, From Negatives in the Possession of the United States Geological Survey, Collected from Various Sources, and Covering a Period of Twenty-Five Years" by W.H. Jackson (Washington, 1874) Title page Google Books Preface to Indian Catalogue The following series of Indian subjects is made up principally of the valuable additions which have been made to the original collections of this survey, through the munificent liberality of Wm. Blackmore, esq., of England, who has contributed them gratuitously for the advancement of ethnological studies. The collection comprises about one thousand negatives, representing sixty-five tribes, and every possible phase of feature and mode of life. The original collection of this survey, which has formed the nuclens about which to gather others, now numbers about two hundred negatives, chiefly scenes and studies among their habitations in the wilds of the far west. The contributions of Mr. Blackmore comprise, first, a collection of over four hundred negatives, by Schindler, of Washington, D. 0., who had gathered them from various sources, and which go back to the days of the daguerreotype, twenty-five years ago; second, a collection of about forty-five negatives, made to his order, of the Pueblos, Apaches, and NavajoeS, in New Mexico, in 1871; third, a series of over three hundred very valuable negatives, purchased from Alex. Gardner, esq., of Washington, D. C., embracing all the prominent individuals who have visited their Great Father upon delegations during the last ten years. During the past season other delegations have been secured by this survey, in negatives by Bell, Ulke, and Gardner. Additions are being constantly made to the collections, both through the operations of the survey, and of others, so as to place it in a position of national importance. The aborigines are rapidly fading away, and, in the near future, there will be no more trustworthy evidence of what they have been than these faithfully drawn sun-pictures. At present, this catalogue merely enumerates them by tribes and individuals. Eventually a fully descriptive catalogue will be issued. |
| 57. |  | Unidentified photographer / artist 1874 Title page of John Edward Lee "Roman Imperial Photographs being a selection of forty enlarged Photographs of Roman Coins" (London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1874) Title page Google Books PREFACE The Origin of this little publication may be told in few words. A series of about one hundred and fifty profiles of Roman Emperors, Empresses, and Caesars is now in progress, drawn in lithograph from medallions and coins, but considerably enlarged. It will probably be published shortly after the appearance of this volume. During the progress of the work, Photographs were taken of some of the coins, with a view of lessening the labour of drawing for lithography : this, however, was not found to answer, and the plan was abandoned. But, as the Photographs were very characteristic, the figures or profiles being enlarged three or four times, and as this style of illustration always carries with it the impress of truth, it was thought advisable (although the imperfections in the coins must necessarily be magnified in the same proportion) to bring together in this volume a selection of forty photographs from coins of different periods, not only to show the actual likenesses, which are of considerable interest, but also to indicate the state of Art at the time the coins were minted. Short memoranda, chiefly taken from Mionnet, have been added respecting each of the individuals. A note has also been made as to the metal from which the coins were struck, and the actual inscription around the profile has also been given. As this mode of illustration must necessarily be expensive, and probably there will be but few purchasers, the number of copies printed has been limited to one hundred. |
