An extremely interesting archive of 35 millimeter, 2 1/2" x 2 1/2", 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" , & glass plate photographic black and white negative images taken in Germany and a few other locales in Europe in the period just after the Second World War; filmed on Perutz and Agfa Isopan film, other films; some items can be dated from internal evidence: 1949, 1950s; The collection extremely rich in photographs of all aspects of the industrial arts, from the creation of models of equipment, machinery at fairs and on sites, demonstrations and personnel; with also images of countryside scenery and portraiture, sporting events: gymnastics, cycling with racing photographs & stadium shots, diving, track, motorcycle race (many) including men's and women's events; livestock, probably at a fair or competition; construction sites; automotive and other factories with personnel, equipment, signage; heavy construction, earthmoving equipment cranes, caterpillar tractors and others; burning buildings; many nautical views of harbors, sailboats, transport shipping, including an early wooden hydroplane; much on bridges, architecture and views of important modernist architecture as well as some classic forms, probably all that was left from the War; folk dancing, nightime shots, stage sets & designs; folk and decorative arts, including closeups; transportation including airports and airplanes; many hundreds of images concerning industrial fairs and technology, including medical, automotive; travel: much interior German travel and also Italy-Rome, with shops, architecture, advertising signage, portraiture, Pellizzari electronics signage, market scenes, sidewalk artists at their work; Deutsche Industrie Messe Hannover 1951 with photographs of the technical equipment displays at that fair; German Industries fair 1952; Neubau Einer Festhalle fur Film Theater und Konzert; Rotaprint booth; Dorfgemeinschafts-haus displays; housewares, stoves, food products; jewelry, Wolfgang Assman storefront, graveyards; office and studio equipment; statues and sculpture, including many of livestock and other animals and insects, plants and other natural history which depict interior organs and come apart and which were apparently used as study and educational devices; a trial or exposition, with uniformed attendees and gallery; signage notifying of Russian Zone, British Zone, military personnel, the "Wall"; construction, cookery, laboratory, other occupational activities; photographs of documents, manuscript and printed including musical notation (Bach); much more in this vast collection; we do not have an identified photographer and perhaps with examination and study this may be determined. Seemingly these photographs were done professionally, from the sheer numbers of them and also because many will have crop marks indicated on the glassine envelopes, which indicates perhaps use in periodicals and journals of the time. We have seen at least several negatives in the group which show a couple of men in a booth in an industrial fair which display books and magazines relating to the items photographed here-we speculate that these may be the result of the photographers' work; some of the film on six-shot strips, others single negatives all in original glassine envelopes; two groups on strips are contained in Leitz albums, with the typewritten label: "Leica-Negative...", which we assume that the contained images were taken with that camera, approximately 4000 negs in the two albums; About 7000 negatives in the 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" format contained in G.O. Belhoff 'sleeve'-drawers which slip into outer cases (one group of these are also in a plain cardstock box); in this size there are an additional 1000 or so negatives that are in a drawer and sequestered into bundles with rubber bands, seemingly divided into categories or types of image by a previous owner; the larger-sized negatives, are also divided this way or in bags, about 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" size number about 500 also in a drawer-box; there are approximately 300 glass plates which have been divided into bundles of roughly 25 each also contained in drawers in the same boxed system; glass plates are standard at 3 1/2" x 4 1/2", also same subjects as above; there is an 'odd' and an enigmatic group of only a few images in a small negative tray: two of which state Dec. 10 1940 Max showing a man in a very well-equipped chemistry or physics laboratory. The envelopes regard a couple of images, seemingly not present, dated 1939 in Germany and in the United States, along with a couple of printed photographs of what appear to be family members; and a group of about 13 smaller format 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" glass plates photographs of deformed people, bones, and some which appear to be 'pictures of pictures'-couple of portraits and a some others; we have made prints of several of the negatives and they reproduce very well, with great and professional detail: Documenting via powerful imagery the fabric of the society and the industrial and cultural rebuilding of Germany after the war, done in a prolific and graphic manner.

(1823-1893) was born in Scotland, and was one of the early royal photographers. In 1849 he set up business as a portrait miniaturist; a brave feat at a time when photography was becoming an ever-increasing challenge offering cheaper pictures and becoming fashionable. After a while he began a short partnership with John Hay, setting up a portrait studio. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were keen on photography, and commissioned the partners to document the building of Balmoral, their new highland home, from 1853 onwards. Thus began a long association with the Royal Family, and in 1868 Wilson illustrated one of the Queen's "Leaves from the Journal or our Life in the Highlands." In 1873 he was awarded a royal warrant. His fame spread widely, and in 1864 claimed to have sold over half a million prints. He was the photographer whose photographs were first sold in Cabinet size. In 1876 Wilson built new premises, perhaps the first to mass-produce photographs. This large firm rivalled that of Frith over the border. He also produced a number of Stereoscopic pictures, notable for the fact that the exposures were very short - less than one second. By the 1880s his was one of the largest photographic publishers in the world. He employed over thirty assistants in his Aberdeen firm, and was particularly keen to ensure that his prints were carefully washed and gold-toned, so as to remove all residual chemicals. As a result, Wilson's albumen prints were more stable than others made in the same era." (Robert Leggat, 1999); James Valentine (1815-1879) was a well-known photographer of Dundee, Scotland. Valentines of Dundee produced Scottish topographical views from the 1860s, and later became internationally famous as the producers of picture postcards. Valentine was a founder of the Edinburgh Photographic Society and photographer by appointment to the Queen; (with) a few miscellaneous, later photographs in the album: Interlaken & Jungfrau Edit Photogrlab; a couple of photographs of Rafael's works, Correggio, and the Transfiguration; all photographs mounted on original album cardstock leaves; all contained in the original pebbled-cloth covered boards album, leather corners and spine; wear to covers; spine cover letter gone, binding tight; very good condition.

Group of 6 images; original gilt-edged cardstock mounts 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" approx., photos a bit smaller; images include: image of a 'saint' in a flowered bower, being towed down the dirt street, crowd on both sides viewing, also in middle ground is a line of mounted horsemen in white, tall posts line the parade route and just visible is a small oval sign with "Santa Barbara Floral Festival '89"; a scene in front of viewing stand with gaily caparisoned 'armored knight' on horse bedecked with flowers, other skilled horseman galloping by, bass drum player marching in the opposite direction, rapt viewers in the stands, very well-dressed; an image roughly in front of the same area, with cowboy heading a float with passengers, towed by two large oxen, all suitably flowered; another float being pulled by a team of horses that appears to carry a flowered version of the California bear mascot, all done in mossy branches and flower-decked; a small two-wheeled 'float' of chariot shape, being towed by what appears to be a goat and man in white and apparently of great amusement to the crowd, which contains a photographer with box camera in front, the road strewn with flowers; and a view of what appears to be the bell tower of the Mission San Gabriel in Los Angeles; our research indicates that then-President Benjamin Harrison was in attendance at this flower festival in Santa Barbara and may indeed be visible in the stands - more information on his visit and a description of the parade and festive environment may be found in the Speeches of Benjamin Harrison, Twenty-third President of the United States: A Complete Collection of His Public Addresses, "...The reception at Santa Barbara was the most unique that the presidential party experienced on their trip, and also one of the most enjoyable; it was a veritable flower carnival. Leading the procession was a Spanish cavalcade commanded by Carlos de la Guerra. The President's escort was a cavalcade of children marshalled by Mrs. Schermer- horn, with flower-decked saddles and bridles; then followed over 100 flower-trimmed equipages, each displaying a different design and flower and bespeaking the marvellous flora of Santa Barbara in the month of April. The stand from whence the President reviewed the procession and witnessed the Battle of Flowers was a floral triumph..."; no photographer or studio noted, these are apparently the work of a skilled amateur photographer; some light wear to mounts; some dimming and fading of imagery; nevertheless very interesting and a good California photographic history group.
