Title: Collection of Thirty Glass Slides Depicting the Newly-Completed Hoover Dam
Author: [Hoover Dam] [Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co.] H.A. Wallace
Seller: Capitol Hill Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Boulder City, NV, 1940. Very Good. [Boulder City, NV]: [1940]. Collection of thirty glass slides (slides measure 8x10cm.; images measure 4.5x6cm.); housed in original wooden lidded and clasped box (34.5x12.5x10.5cm.). Five of the plates show hairline cracks, one plate with crack crudely repaired with old tape, else an excellent collection, all images bright and easily discernible. Collection of images taken by or for H.A. Wallace, Superintendent of Maintenance and Tools for the machinery manufacturer Allis-Chalmers with his typescript ownership label mounted inside box lid. Allis-Chalmers had provided a number of turbines for the Hoover Dam during its construction in the 1930s and the photographs show the Dam in the late phases of construction and early days of completion. Date based on plate no. 21, the only dated plate (1-18-40). The images depict the different projects worked on by the Allis-Chalmers Company, including the Hoover Dam, the Cheoah Dam in North Carolina, and the Wilson Dam in Alabama. Photographs were taken from various vantage points including external views and internal views. Five of the views show construction, five show pieces of machinery, sometimes still wrapped in sheets. Notably, seven of the images show members of the workforce, including an image of one of the Allis-Chalmers turbines manned by three men, two of them Black. The only group shot of workers, image no. 30, shows five Black men in shorts and shirtsleeves posing for the camera. All the images are numbered, though the collection appears to be lacking image no. 14, replaced instead by a view of the Colorado River. Only image no. 8 is entirely out of place, showing a man (maybe Wallace himself?) posing on a street in France in front of the storefront of Charles Maltais (meubles, tapis, prelarts). A detailed and remarkably well-preserved record of the Dam in the early years of its completion and maintenance.
