Octavo 8 1/2 X 11" black cloth bound photo scrapbook. Leaves are made of heavy paper with slots for inserting postcards. A collection of 72 original photo postcards dating from approximately 1899 to the early WWII era. Many of the photo postcards have cancelled postage, addresses and correspondence written on the back (some on the front). Some postcards are homemade (verified by the inscriptions as such), and some postcards in the collection were made by professional photographers such as the BYRON HARMON Real Photo postcards of scenery in Canada. Many photos are dated, but not all.

Rainier; High Falls, Pigeon River, Ontario and the Acapulco cliffs.…

An incredible Jazz Age archive of travel photos, ephemera, and documents assembled by Samuel T. Dana and his daughter Harriet during the family's five month trip through Europe for the First World Forestry Congress held in Rome, Italy. The albums are filled with documentation and souvenirs from their grand tour through Europe. Included are photos of the participants in the World Forestry conference, two of them are of Dana's subcommittee at the meeting, many of the registration credentials, letters of introduction, as well as invitations to meetings and parties associated with the conference. The Dana family had an audience with the Pope in Rome, saw Benito Mussolini, visited the major sights of Venice with pictures of young George Dana feeding the pigeons in the Plaza in front of St. Mark's Cathedral. They attended Verdi's opera, La Traviata featuring the soprano Violetta Valery. From there they traveled through France, Switzerland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. They have included their brochures for visiting assorted museums, folk festivals, operas in Munich, historical sights in Prague, the beautiful city of Dresden, tramped through all parts of Paris, voyaged on the S/Y Meteor of the Norwegian Steamship Lines through Sweden, Finland, and Norway with the special treat of including their menus for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and children's teas (great photo of the children for the Captain's tea on the SS President Harding). The photographs feature street scenes in assorted places, views from the top of the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower, many of the people they met in their travels and more. Dana met with foresters, and visited timber stands throughout northern Europe and Scandinavia.Of particular interest are the many leaves hand-written by the 10-year old Harriet Dana (1916-2011) describing the places they visited, her impressions of the sights, the many experiences she had, as well as very charming notes from family friends tipped-in which were to be opened during their travels. She has annotated many of the postcards, and photos. These albums, and her impressions, offer an invaluable cultural insight into travel during the Jazz Age for the well-to-do. In addition, there are several leaves in manuscript written in both pencil and pen of the prices and types of souvenirs purchased throughout Europe, including dolls, pennants, mosaics, many lead soldiers, a toy loom, toy boat, decks of cards, clothing, china, and many different types of jewelry. Harriet Merrill Dana Carroll would later attend Swarthmore college, graduate from Yale Nursing School in 1941, and eventually retire in Bethesda, Maryland in 1986. Samuel Trask Dana (1883-1978), was a world renowned forestry expert who graduated from Yale in 1907, entered the U.S. Forest Service where he began groundbreaking studies in the culture of renewable white pine and paper birch forests. He established several forest experimental stations intended to further research and promote the economic value of forests. He served in World War I, and from 1923 to 1927 was the director of the Northeastern Forest Experiment Station in Amherst, Massachusetts where his most significant achievement was helping to organize the First World Forestry Conference. This Congress was significant because he succeeded in helping to establish an international body to compile and track forestry resources all over the world. Subsequently he became the first dean of the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources which pioneered many trends in modern forestry. He served as chairman of the U.S. Timber Conservation Board, President of the Society of American Foresters, was appointed in 1958 by President Eisenhower to serve on the National Outdoor Recreation Review Commission, and also studied proposals to preserve California's redwood forests. …

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Approximately 275 postcards glued down, generally four to a page, on both sides of the album leaves. All of the cards are commercial and almost all have printed captions in English, Japanese, French or some combination of those languages. Most are black and white, some are color and a handful are blue tinted. There are several blank leaves at the end. Oblong Japanese lacquer-style album (35 x 26 cm.) The album cover is in decent shape but the album leaves open a bit stiffly (probably because the backstrip was recently reglued). The HMS Suffolk was a county class heavy cruiser in Great Britain's Royal Navy which was commissioned in 1928 and spent her first 11 years on Britain's "China Station." The album includes (in this order) 4 postcards of the HMS Suffolk, 4 of Colombo (Sri Lanka), 4 of Singapore, 18 of Hong Kong, 8 of Shanghai, 198 of Japan, 25 of the West Indies, and 19 of France and Monaco.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. About 150 photos (or photos of photos) and postcards, all firmly pasted down, two to a page on both sides of album leaves. Album leaves rather worn, with chipping along fore-edges. Some page rippling. Photos are black and white as are many of the postcards. Most of the photographic images, while appealing, are a bit faint and much less sharply detailed than one would like. No captions except for the printed captions on some of the postcards. The last 8 album leaves are unused. Undated but probably sometime in the first quarter of the 20th century. Moderate-sized oblong album covered in flexible patterned leather (25 x 18 cm.). Cover worn along edges and rubbed. The first 93 images, mostly photos rather than postcards, appear to relate to India or adjacent areas (a few seem Burmese to us, partly because the appearance of some of the temples). The next 7 photos and 11 postcards relate to Egypt or nearby arid settings followed by 12 postcards and 27 photos which relate to Greece. The final four images (all postcards) relate to China. The South Asian images, as loosely defined by us, begins with about 30 images that could be non-Indian followed by scenes of bathing in the Ganges, numerous interior and exterior images of various antiquities (including several of the Taj Mahal), a few elephants and a few other images. Our Egyptian images begin with four photos of an unidentified caravan featuring rather heavily laden camels, followed by postcard images mostly of antiquities (the Sphinx, pyramids, Karnak and Thebes). The Greek images provide a strong dose of antiquities and a few images of traditionally attired Greeks including a black and white photo of a gun-toting young man and a color postcard, captioned in part "Soldat Grec (Efzonaki)." The final four images are three color postcards of Chinese scenes and a black and white image of an indeterminately-located street scene.…

The album is black lacquer over wooden boards, typical of the turn-of-the-century -1920's type album. This one is however, very special, in that the thick pages are all silk gauze covered, and then color painted with lovely floral and other designs, then four threads are sewn in place to hold the corners of the postcards.

The treaty was signed by Lee Wan-Yong, who was given the General Power of Attorney by the Emperor. However, the Emperor is said to have not actually ratified the treaty according to Yi Tae-jin. There is a long dispute whether this treaty was legal or illegal due to its signing under duress, threat of force and bribes. .
