Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1968, large 12mo, red cloth with gilt lettering on the spine, dust jacket, frontispiece photograph of the author, 14 black and white halftone plates each reproducing 2-3 photographs, 2 maps/plans (Yokohama, 1923 & The Japanese Earthquake of 1923), 135 pp. Pages 1-16 are not present in the book and the table of contents lists the first numbered page as page 17. The author first arrived in Yokohama in 1888. He traces the development of the city from its inception as a treaty port through the great earthquake of 1923 and until his departure from Japan on July 7, 1925. In the forward he states that this is his narrative of the earthquake written a few weeks after it occurred (September 1, 1923). In addition to describing the total devastation to Yokohama caused by the earthquake, the book is a valuable resource on the treaty port of Yokohama. The various foreign activities, structures and residential areas are described in great detail. The book is a useful resource in fixing the various foreign activities in physical perspective (ie the Bund, Water Street, Camp Hill, the Bluff (residential area) the British and American Hospitals, Consular Offices, etc.). It concludes with an "Index of Persons Mentioned." ~ Condition: The book is in Fine condition. The dust jacket is in Very Good condition and is price clipped and has edge wear.

Librería: James Arsenault & Company, ABAA, Arrowsic, ME, Estados Unidos de America
Eight folio vols., original decorative cloth. 2182 photographs, various sizes, bromide prints and silver prints, some hand-colored, most photos with typed captions, 1 folding panorama. CONDITION: Two albums with one cover detached, all albums heavily worn at spine, one spine perished, all extremities worn, one album with damp-stain at upper right corner of front cover, photos generally very good or better, panorama of Hakodate with some creases and short tears. A stunning and important set of eight photo albums documenting Japanese life, scenery, and culture, as well as the activities of two American expatriate brothers in Japan and the foreign community to which they belonged. Also included are images of China, Hong Kong, and Formosa (Taiwan). These albums, compiled by Bert Poole, the brother of photographer Otis Manchester Poole (known as 'Chester'), appear to consist mainly of photographs taken by Chester as well as some possibly taken by his father, Otis Augustus Poole (1840-1904), supplemented with commercially produced Japanese and Chinese photographs. The Poole brothers appear in numerous photos, especially Bert, who typically identifies himself in the captions as "myself." The breadth of subjects represented is extraordinary and the image quality, especially of Poole's photos, is often exceptional. Highlights include thirty-one images of the Ainu; a marvelous selection of genre and occupational images; numerous street scenes and town views; a series of photos of trade signs; a fold-out panorama of Hakodate; and theatrical photos of Fifteen Stages of Happiness (Saki drinking). These and the many other photos included here undoubtedly constitute one of the most robust and interesting bodies of photographs taken by an American photographer documenting Japan and its foreign communities in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Otis Manchester Poole (1880-1978) was born in Chicago to a prosperous family, the youngest of three children. In 1888 he moved to Yokohama when his father, a trader in Japanese and Chinese teas, decided to permanently locate there. The family made its home at 89 Bluff, in the foreign settlement established there, situated above the sea. Poole attended the Victoria Public School where he made numerous good friends among his American and English schoolmates, as evidenced by many photos in these albums. Leaving school at the age of fourteen, he was tutored privately in French, Japanese, shorthand, and typing, soon thereafter taking a position with Dodwell, Carlill & Co., an English trading firm headquartered in London. Poole remained with the firm for fifty-three years, serving during the last twenty as the main director of the board at the company's New York office. As a young man in Japan, Poole developed passions for swimming, rowing, sailing, bird shooting, bicycle riding, sketching, painting, and mountaineering. It is in this last connection that Poole first mentions, in his unpublished memoir, his interest in photography, a trait he apparently inherited from his father, from whom he received instruction. While Poole's mention of photography in his memoir is minimal, the following account of the family's experience escaping the Bluff in the devastating earthquake of 1923, Japan's largest on record, perhaps explains his reticence: .people risked their lives in a hazardous scramble down to a not quite perpendicular cliff face, transferring half way down to a slide where the cliff had avalanched . Time had run out and as the fire struck the Naval grounds, people panicked and overwhelmed the rope, which broke before our eyes. Sheets of fire appeared above the brim like a Niagara and as it licked those who had feared to go over the cliff, many threw themselves over in flaming pinwheels, thudding in piles on the beach below. A sickening sight. And later: We poked around among the ruins, unearthing blobs of melted silver and glass, all that was left of our lovely wedding presents. And in one s.
