Description
[Kanawha County, WV, 1915. [52] leaves, with fifty-eight full-page professionally-produced sepia-toned photographs, each with printed marginal captions, and six informational plates, most backed on linen. Oblong octavo, 5 x 8 inches. Contemporary brown cloth. Front cover lacking, spine and rear cover chipped and worn. Internally clean. Good condition. A fascinating annotated photograph album produced by the Lackawanna Coal and Lumber Company, a prominent early-20th-century mining and lumber company, highlighting its officers and the variety of its operations in West Virginia. The album begins with portraits of four of the company's mustachioed owners -- W.L. Connell, J.K. Griffith, Thomas J. Foster, and William Griffith. The preponderance of the album focuses on the company's activities in various locations, showing their Power House, Coal Yard, company store, and more at Mucklow; large barge shipments on the Kanawha River; exterior scenes and shots inside the mine at Upper Town; the Power House and Tipple at Greenbrier; various scenes at Paint Creek, including the Power House, Tipple, interior mine scenes (including "Miners Working in Paint Creek Mine Using Electrically Driven Undercutter"), their mule barn, and Hickory Camp Power House; scenes around their Nuckolls, Greencastle, and Grosstown properties; scenes inside their Foster Mine; and much more. Other photographs picture the various trees the company turns into lumber, some scenes around the company's Crescent Property lumber yard, and a couple of their new sawmill. The album concludes with a half dozen informational plates (akin to modern-day Power Point slides) providing financial information on coal land values, coal consumption, coal production, and details on anthracite and bituminous productivity. The album presents like a type of promotional brochure, couching the Lackawanna Coal and Lumber Company as a vital and dynamic enterprise with numerous opportunities for potential investors. We could locate nothing like it in OCLC; the Hagley Museum holds a 1914 album of fifty photographs comprising an inspection trip to the Lackawanna Coal and Lumber Company and Highland Lumber Company, which would be an excellent companion piece to the present album.

Paris: Gauthier-Villars, 1896. FIRST EDITION. With numerous text diagrams. Contemporary half-morocco and cloth. From the library of George E. Hale with a small presentation bookplate to the Mount Wilson Observatory Library from Adriaan van Maanen and the blind-stamp of the library on the fly-leaf. First edition of the author's classic work on probability and statistics.

[St. Paul, MN]: Haynes Inc, 1935. 35377. Large silver print photograph [40 cm x 50 cm] / [16" x 20"] on a heavy stock. 'Haynes, Yellowstone Park' blind stamped in the lower right corner. Haynes number and title printed on the reverse. Strong contrasts. Tape residue across the top and the lower left corner. View of Top Notch Peak reflected in the waters of Sylvan Lake. Jack Ellis Haynes (1884-1962) began working in the family photographic business at a relatively young age and toward the end of 1916 he formally bought out his father's interest in the Yellowstone photography business and was awarded sole right to produce pictorial souvenirs. An accomplished photographer in his own right, Jack operated the park concessions and Saint Paul studios under the name 'J.E. Haynes' and then 'Haynes Inc.' (1937-1945). In 1945 Jack and Isabel moved the base of operations to Bozeman, and established Haynes Studios Inc.
