Collection of Photographs of Cars, Trucks, and Specialty Vehicles from a Pasadena Rental Car Company that Catered to the Movie Industry in the 1920s

Description
Twenty-seven (27) 8” x 10” photographs showcasing high-end vehicles for rent from the Iowa Garage in Pasadana, California, owned by former race car mechanic Eugene Lajunie (b. 1885). Each photo is accompanied by a typed caption giving the model number, color, some specifications, and the price per day to rent with a driver. Vehicles include many touring cars and cabriolets made by Renault, Packard, and Daimler; a Sunbeam roadster, town cars, taxis, a limousine, army trucks, a French truck mounted with an anti-aircraft gun, and several remarkable “camera cars” made with front or rear-mounted platforms to hold movie cameras and their operators. Rental prices ranged from $35/day for a camera car to $75/day for the Sunbeam Roadster or a 1926 Renault cabriolet. Many of the cars are “posed” in front of beautiful homes on tree-lined Pasadena streets. These photographs would originally have been in a sales catalogue or album, and there are remnants of the original pages on which they were mounted on the back of each one. Some have the original typed captions taped to the back, others are accompanied by recent copies of those captions. These photographs were acquired as a group from the granddaughter of Eugene Lajunie, and we believe the family made the modern captions to replace damaged ones from the original album. The images themselves are all original and in very good condition. Born in France, Lajunie emigrated to the United States to work as the personal mechanic of racecar driver George Heath. Heath won first Vanderbilt Cup race with Lajunie at his side in 1904. Lajunie later lived in Davenport, Iowa, before moving to Pasadena and opening his Iowa Garage on South Fair Oaks avenue. There he personally repaired, restored, and equipped the vehicles he rented to Hollywood studios.

Description
India, 19th or 20th century. Good. Two paintings on manuscript leaves (ca. 300 x 220 mm), both hinged on plexiglas so that the verso is visible, both matted (matte size: 400 x 315 mm). Edges of manuscript leaves significantly worm-damaged, without loss to painting of the bull, but intruding in several places into that of the camel. Colors vibrant and gold quite bright. Very attractive paintings. Two delicate Indian paintings that were likely made for the tourist trade, painted on manuscript leaves that have nothing to do with the images. The Arabic text of the manuscript is a Persian / Urdu dictionary. We admire the delicacy of the painting, particularly the modelling of the faces which are expressive. The hair on both animals is rendered in almost impossibly thin brush strokes. Suitable for exhibition and study. We are grateful to Kelley Tuttle for her characteristically excellent cataloguing assistance.

Description
N.p.: Banner Pictures, 1956. Ten vintage studio still photographs from the US release of the 1950 West German film musical. A now-faded singer begins to regret her estrangement from her daughters after years of neglect while at the height of her career. Swedish-born actress Zarah Leander's first German film appearance after a seven-year hiatus. Although she declared no political position during World War II, Leander was strongly associated with the Nazi Party due to her contract with UFA (and multiple successful films with that studio) in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and was subsequently restricted from appearing in German films until 1949. 10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus to Near Fine.
