McK. Perry... Continue reading

Photograph. Cyanotype Print C. BITTNER, WOODSVILLE, PRINTER. Interesting image of a turn of the century printer. As this is an oval cyanotype print, my guess is that it was a trial printing of an image to be used in a magazine or book. Continue reading

Photograph Labeled: Bremer, Ilion, N. Y. c1890. A very unusual group photograph of print shop workers. Judging by the clothing and the type of image, my guess is c1890. I asked Toby Hall of the EAIA to take a look at this image in order to identify the people and... Continue reading

Photograph: Cabinet Card Three Shipwrights. At least that is my current guess. The photograph came from the New Jersey coast. These three fine looking gentlemen are wearing matching coveralls, spiffy hats and holding the tools of their trade. The gent on the left is holding a mallet and what appears... Continue reading

Cabinet Card print of Full Plate Tintype Shipwrights, Ship Hull. Location - New England c1880? The small right angle black areas at the bottom two corners of this print indicate that this was originally a full plate TinType. Someone saw fit to make an Albumen print at Cabinet Card size.... Continue reading

Photograph: Cabinet Card Shoe Factory, Assembly Floor. c1885. When I found this image, it was in even worse shape. Lots of gentle cleaning and the image came up to snuff. This is one of those great 'spur of the moment' images that contains a wealth of information. If you know... Continue reading

Photograph: Cabinet Card LEATHER OR HARNESS SHOP INTERIOR. Cabinet Card. Judging from the bales of leather on the floor and the pile of what appear to be either belts or harness straps... this is the shop of leather workers of some sort. How's that for an educated guess? Continue reading

Photograph: Cabinet Card KISTLER, IOWA MILLWORK SHOP. Cabinet Card. All I know is that this was labeled Kistler, Iowa. "Father". I don't know which one is Father. This looks like a millwork shop to me. There's a heavy commercial surface circular sander, bandsaw, table saw, lathe and one mitre box... Continue reading

Photograph: Cabinet Card SHINGLE MAKERS ?. Cabinet Card. Perhaps the photographer had had too much to drink that afternoon? The workers and the shack all decided to lean over at the same time? My guess is that these fellows are shingle makers, judging by the form of drawknife they are... Continue reading

Photograph: Stereoview NORWEGIAN UP & DOWN GANG SAW MILL. c1910. Stereoview, A particularly interesting view of a turn of the century Norwegian gang up and down, or vertical saw mill.The card itself is actually quite bowed due to the effects of humidity and the expansion of dissimilar materials. Continue reading

Photograph: Tintype SAWMILL. Quarter plate Tintype. My guess is c1870. Although fairly damaged by corrosion and other suface degrading, this is still a fascinating image. I beleive this is a steam driven sawmill. It's very unusual to find a closeup of a sawmill. Most often, tintypes and cabinet cards of... Continue reading

Real Photo Post Card 7 WOODWORKERS SITTING IN A HUGE PILE OF WOOD SHAVINGS. c1904-1918. One of my favorite Real Photo Post Cards. I examined the image under magnification but could not make out what they made. There is a stack of cut lumber in the outside shed, a man... Continue reading

Photograph: Cabinet Card Pattern Shop. c1890. Cabinet card. There is an incredible wealth of detail in this one card. At some point in time the photograph was remounted on plain card stock, making it a little difficult to pinpoint the date. Judging by the electrical wiring and the bicycle, my... Continue reading

Photograph, Cabinet Card WOODTURNER AND A MOST PECULIAR LATHE. C1860, Another small albumen print, Cabinet Card. At first I thought that this image included a small dog or cat sitting on the lathe. Close inspection revealed what may be the most imaginative piece of machinery design in history. Note the... Continue reading

Photograph, CDV (Carte de Visite) WOODTURNER AT HIS LATHE. c1870. A little large for a CDV, but still a small albumen print on a CDV style mount. Unusual image of a wood turner at his lathe. In the background you can make out a post mounted drill press. Both the... Continue reading
