Condición: very good. 55 real photo postcards all with postcard backs. All with either Agfa or Noko paper stamps. All images slightly curled. The overall condition of the paper and images is excellent. very good An interesting archive of images all related to Father Hubbard's travels in Alaska. Of the 55 images, five have the imprint on the back "Photograph by Father Bernard Hubbard", fifteen have the imprint Ordway's Photo Service and the last group have no indication of publisher. All of the images are postally unused. The subject matter is interesting and varied in the group, ranging from native women making crafts, film making with a cine camera, portraits, hunting scenes, scenes out in small river boats. Images of both summer and winter, praying, and many images of natives. I would guess Father Hubbard is in at least a dozen of the images. Overall a fascinating archive which may cover several periods.

Condición: very good. Unbound photo album, measuring 18" by 12". Black card paper. Approximately 1,212 black and white photographs of various sizes. Most of the photographs have a number assigned to them, written on the album paper in white chalk pencil. Photographs are fixed to the album pages with glue. The photographs' subjects vary, but many include portraits of Hubbard in various locations throughout Alaska, as well as the local people he met on his travels and his dogs. The images are all in fine condition and vary in size from 2.5 X 2.5 inches to 8 X 10 inches with a majority being 3.25 X 4.5 inches. A small (6" X 10") colour hand-out from one of Father Hubbard's lectures at the University of Santa Clara is also included. The provenance of this album is currently unknown, but many of the photographs are the same as the ones currently held in the collection of the archives at the University of Santa Clara, with some exceptions. The numbers assigned to the photographs do not match the ones held in the Santa Clara collection, and those photographs came directly from Father Hubbard himself. There are also several photographs that seem to have belonged to the American inventor George W. Bettes. Bettes invented a machine that painted the lines on highways, as well as a "snow machine" for the American Army in the late 1930s. He later donated one these snow machines to Father Hubbard for one of his Alaskan expeditions, as well as one to Lt. Commander Bursey for his expedition to the "Little America" exploration site on Antarctica. There are several photographs in this collection of both Bettes and Bursey, and Bettes and Hubbard, with Bettes's handwriting on the photos. Bettes developed a strong interest in the Arctic and Alaska, so it is possible that the rest of this album was given to Bettes from Hubbard's personal collection. The majority of the photographs are from the various expeditions Hubbard made to Alaska and vary widely in subject matter. Hubbard was an avid photographer and all of his trips were well documented by both him and those that joined him; these photographs are a wonderful representation of Hubbard's work in this beautiful and unique part of the world.
