Description
Not published, 1920s. Very good overall; one slide is cracked; the edge taping is beginning to peal on some of the slides; dustiness. Based on appearance there does not seem to be much overall wear simply normal aging. Wooden case is worn.. Each photograph is a gelatin backed color positive encased within two pieces of glass; edges are sealed. They measure appx. 83 x 100 mm. All contained in a wooden case. None of the slides has any identification. An early, remarkable set of views illustrating aspects of the territories, commerce, and culture. Some of the places illustrated are Ketchikan, Treadwell, and Juneau and what appears to be the Yukon River and settlements. The Alaskan gold mining firm (ATGM Co.) was incorporated in 1890 based on Douglas Island in the Gastineau Channel across from Juneau - they are all photographed. Other discoveries are certain, e.g., the Poodledog Cafe shows up, Yukon stern wheeler, Royal Alexander Hotel (not the one in Winnipeg). The presence of internal evidence - names, geographic peculiarities, buildings - in the photographs will lead to the identification and location of most scenes. The technical aspects of the photographs is explained in Lavédrine / Gandolfo's book The Lumière Autochrome, History, Technology .... (see pp. 30-33). It was around this time that numerous technical advances in color photography were introduced (notably flexible film support, evident in these examples, for emulsions to replace the ubiqitous glass plate). The leader in the field were the Lumière Bros. in France. Efforts by Kodak were dependent on sub-contracted work carried out in California by Technicolor. It was not until much later that Kodak succeeded in introducing the color negative to produce color prints. A unique set.
