Photo Album-Selga

600. [Photo Album] Remsberg, LeRoy. American GI's World War II Album of Passing through Palestine and India and over the "Hump" to China. Approximately 170 photos and a few letters and other documents. Most photos either inserted in corner mounts or held on with a strip of cellophane tape along one side of the back. Many, if not most, of the amateur photos are taped rather than corner mounted and have inked captions or notes written on the back. Quality of photos is Good to Very Good. Album is sound and clean. Staff Sergeant Remsberg was a member of the Army Air Corps and was sent to the Middle East in 1944 from whence he went to India and finally to China before returning to India to await transport home. This album reports on his visit to the Holy Land around Christmas 1944 and his subsequent experiences in India and China. On Palestine, the album contains 50 small commercial photos (some with printed captions), six somewhat larger amateur photos, and a manuscript account (14p.) of his Christmas visit to the Holy Land. On India, the album contains 46 photos or varying quality, mostly taken during the month he was waiting to return to the States. There is also a lengthy letter describing the Indian people. After 3 small commercial photos and a manuscript account relating to flying over the "Hump," there are 62 photos from his time in China, two manuscripts describing the Chinese people and a broadsheet newspaper in Chinese that appears to have been printed in Kunming in 1945. After six photos taken on the voyage home, the album ends with news clippings dated 1946 from the Valley Register of Middletown, Maryland, which appear to reprint much that appears in Remsberg's various manuscript descriptions. 225.00

601. [Photo Album] British Soldier in Razmak, Razani & Elsewhere on the North West Frontier circa 1940. Contemporary oblong black album containing 160 small photos (generally 8 x 5cm.), 5 medium-sized photos (generally 13 x 9cm.), 12 large photos (generally 20 x 15cm.), and a panorama (approx. 44 x 18cm.). There are some empty spaces and a few photos laid in loose. At least 50 of the small photos and almost all of the larger photos relate to service on the North West Frontier. The larger photos tend to have captions as do the small photos relating to the North West Frontier. Most of the other photos are uncaptioned. Detail is generally very good or better. The album begins with a photo of 26 soldiers which is captioned "Baghdad Boys June 1934." Next comes 6 colored photos of "Marble Rocks (Jubb)." After a few unidentified scenes, 6 boxing photos are identified as "Leiecstershires and Ulster Rifles Razmak 1939" followed by six photos of a soccer (football) match identified as Brigade Cup HQ Coy, R. Signals 1939 Won 7-1." Another page of four photos is captioned Barrack Rooms - Jubbulpore." The small photos of signpost are identified as "Frontier Signposts." Next comes several photos identified as Razmak, Razani or other nearby areas. Almost all the large photos are of various forts and camps (Razmak Camp, Doumdil Camp, Attack Fort, Greenwood's Corner, Alexandra Post, Rifleman's Tower, Razmak Camp Summer, Razmak Camp Winter, HMS Razmak, and two which are unidentified). Twenty of the small photos are of the 250th Anniversary Celebration at Jubbulpore [now Jabalpur]. The large panorama is unidentified and is split into two pieces with some loss of image along the split. Two of the medium-sized photos are of Razami and the other three are of military sports teams from 1937, 1938 and 1939. 1200.00

602. [Photo Album] Educational Workshop for Teachers from Karachi, Pakistan. [our title]. Undated (1955 or 1956). 21 good-sized (21 x 15cm.) commercial photos with printed captions mounted beneath the photos followed by 29 smaller amateur photos which appear to have been taken by or for Calvin Cope, one of the speakers at the workshop. Photos and clippings pasted down. The album also contains a couple of newspaper clippings.Tied oblong album. 30 x 22cm. Mounted on front cover: With Compliments from the Education Department, Lahore, West Pakistan." Cope identified in clippings as an instructor/ administrator at Monterey Peninsula College in California who had spent a year in Pakistan serving in a secondary teacher training program under a Fulbright grant. 150.00

603. [Photo Album] A Vacation Trek in Himanahal Pradesh, North West India. [our title]. 70 small photos (approx. 6 x 8cm.); 7 larger photos (15 x 9cm.) and one large photo (21 x 14cm.). Pasted down on one side of the leaves in an album. Most photos or groups of photos are neatly captioned in white ink on the album leaves. Very good quality photos with sharp, clear details. Oblong album has a paper covered boards (a faux reptile skin look). Cover scuffed but sound. The compiler was probably a British colonial or soldier on holiday. He appears in a couple of the pictures but most photos are of scenes and peoples encountered along the way. Undated but probably 1930s or late 1920s. The trek seems to have gone from low altitudes to Manali at 6000 feet to the Rohtang Pass at 13,000 feet and possibly beyond. 400.00

604. [Photo Album] Photos of Scenes in British India and a Few Photos of Basra and the Persian Gulf. [our title]. 151 photos. Neatly mounted (glued at corners in most cases) 6-9 to a page on one or both sides of 12 album leaves. Photos of uniform size -- slightly less than 11 x 7cm. Brief inked captions beneath photos. Undated (circa 1920). Good quality amateur photos with decent detail. Scuffed black leather album. Front joint heavily rubbed and partially split. 36cm. Last two leaves blank; quite a number of other leaves have been removed at the end of the album. Good. Compiled by a British traveller, perhaps a Naval Officer, probably on holiday in India. Almost all photos are of scenes and temples; very few photos of people. The first page contains photos of various ships entering or leaving Bombay. This is followed by 25 photos or the Persian Gulf, Basra River or Basra. One of these photos (of people) is captioned "Sheik Essack (seated) Eldest son of Sheik of Bahrein & his eldest and youngest sons." Places mentioned in captions of Indian photos include Wai, Castle Rock Station and Railroad, Closepet, Haspet, Hampi, Bijapur, Bellary Fort, Bassein, Panchgani, Bonrili, Kashmir, Johala, Jumna, Rampur, Rajdiarjan Pass, Gurais Valley, Minimarg, Burzil, Chota Deosai Plateau, Valley of Satpur, Skardu, Kargil, Indus Valley, Sind Valley and Srinagar.

605. [Photo Album] Schott, Rev. Valerian. Photos taken by a Catholic Missionary in 1941 & Smuggled out of China. [our title]. 216 photos. 9 x 7cm. Mounted along top edge on back, each one slightly lower than the one above. Numbered with inked captions on backs, given useful detail and identifications. Numbering goes from 1-226, with 10 numbers not present. Inexpensive green cloth album, split at front joint. Good. "Book One" written inside front cover. Inside front cover also has the following handwritten note: "I took these photos in 1940 and 1941 with a miniature candid camera. By sewing the negatives in small packages and sewing them inside the lining of my overcoat and on the my sock garters, I got them through the Japanese censors when we returned to America on the Grifsholm landing in New York Dec. 1, 1943. I had the negatives printed at Indianapolis." A business card is laid in identifying Father Schott as a Franciscan at the Catholic Mission at Chowtsun in Shantung Province. Photos are of the Chowtsun mission, priests, students, local residents and scenes, etc. 750.00

606. [Photo Album] Salvation Army in India. [our title]. 199 photos of varying size and quality. Approximately 27 are large enough that they take up half or all of an album page; 15+ are of medium size filling about 1/4 of an album page; and the remaining 157 are smaller. Undated but probably put together in the 1920s although some of the photos are earlier. There are quite a few empty slots where other photos are missing. A small minority (perhaps 20%) of the photos have been captioned. Good-sized oblong album (approximately 40 x 27cm.) While the quality of photos varies, ranging from really high quality to unfocused and rather faded, the overall quality and range of subject matter of the photos in this album is rather impressive. The parents of the former owner or compiler of this album appears to have been a high ranking officer in the Salvation Army. Several of the photos are of groups of Salvation Army officers and some of their spouses. One of the large photos is a 1909 photo of a group of Salvation Army officers taken at the Simla home of the compiler's parents. Someone, presumably the former owner, has laid in a slip identifying many of those in the picture. Among those identified in one or more of the photos are Commissioner and Mrs. Blowers, Colonels Spooner, Tuley, Muttiah, Gore, Case, Tait, Stevens, and Mellings (with his Motor Bike), Lt. Col. Bidford, and Brigadiers Leib, Robertson, Glanville and McKenzie. The other photos are an eclectic mix of Salvation army figures and activities and Indian scenes and peoples. 1800.00

607. [Photo Album] Small format Japanese Album containing 38 Photos. Undated (probably late 19th century). Photos pasted down, one to a page on both sides of 18 leaves. Photos generally approx. 9 x 14cm. (three photos, mounted on a single page, are much smaller). Pages wavy and somewhat soiled. Most photos colored but the coloring is faded and worn as are many of the photos. Pencil captions in the margin beneath or beside most photos. Pages bound accordion-style, with several splits at folds. Album covers gone. Poor. Most of the photos show exteriors or interiors of temples or some of the objects found in various Japanese temples. 150.00

610. Pingree, Laliah B. 23 Letters from a Missionary Student at the Nanking Language School in 1926. Addressed to her mother in Brookline, Mass. Generally 4 pages and occasionally 6 or 8. Written in a clear, readable hand. Envelopes (minus stamps) generally present. Weekly letters beginning January 3 and ending June 6. Pingree, who appears to be a Wellesley graduate and to have previously done mission work in Anking, writes about activities and experiences. There seems to be little religious content and no discussion of larger questions. The letters make it clear that Pingree is starting from scratch intrying to learn written Chinese. We did not read all of the letters. Her Protestant denomination is unclear to us -- a missionary family she visits in Soochow was at the American Mission Church. 600.00
