None of the slides in the box was labeled with any kind of notation, so no details are known. But judging from the Kodak slide mounts, I’m guess - ing these views were made around 1960. They may even show scenes from more than one trip, since one mount is the older gray with red edge style, and the others are white.) That’s quite a welcome the travel - ers are getting at the airport! And while the lower half of the second view is on the dark side, that car behind the musicians sure makes a great backdrop. Speaking of dark, the last view was shot into the sun and seems too dark at first glance in 2-D, but when fused in stereo, a nice Hawaiian buffet is revealed in 3-D! his column combines a love of stereo Tphotography with a fondness for 1950s- era styling, design and decor by sharing amateur stereo slides shot in the “golden age” of the Stereo Realist—the late 1940s through the early 1960s. From clothing and hairstyles to home decor to modes of transportation, these frozen moments of time show what things were really like in the middle of the twentieth century. If you’ve found a classic ’50s-era image that you would like to share through this column, please send the actual slide or a high-resolution side-by-side scan as a jpeg, tiff or photoshop file to: Fifties Flavored Finds , 5610 SE 71st, Portland, OR 97206. You can also email the digital file to [email protected] . If the subject, date, location, photographer or other details about your image are known, please include that information as well. As space allows, we will select a couple of images to reproduce in each issue. This is not a contest—just a place to share and enjoy. Slides will be returned within 6 to 14 weeks, and while we’ll treat your slide as carefully as our own, Stereo World and the NSA assume no responsibility for its safety.

PC RM Lawrence Houseworth The collection was processed by Erin Hurley in 2018. Wendy Welker previously processed the stereographs in 2003-2004. California Historical Society December 2018. 678 Mission Street San Francisco, CA 94105 [email protected] URL: http://californiahistoricalsociety.org/ PC RM Lawrence Houseworth 1 Language of Material: English Contributing Institution: California Historical Society Title: Lawrence and Houseworth photograph collection Creator: Lawrence & Houseworth Creator: Weed, Charles Leander Identifier/Call Number: PC RM Lawrence Houseworth Physical Description: 0.5 box1 photo box, half of which is Lawrence and Houseworth and half of which is Houseworth and Co. Date (inclusive): 1860-1870 Abstract: Lawrence and Houseworth were one of the main publishers of stereoviews on the West coast around the 1860s. They sold views primarily of California and Nevada, and the majority of their photographs are of nature scenes, and the wonders of California's redwoods, geysers, lakes and mountains. The collection contains commercial formats - stereographs and cartes de visites. They were taken by photographer Charles Leander Weed and published by Lawrence and Houseworth, who did a brisk business selling these formats, and were competitive with other merchants of stereoviews. Language of Material: Collection materials are in English. Biographical / Historical Like many, Thomas Houseworth (1828-1915), a native New Yorker, travelled West with an interest in mining and arrived San Francisco in 1849. Houseworth met George S. Lawrence (dates unknown) while working a claim in Calaveras County, Calif. The two men were mining partners for the next two years, looking for gold in Trinity County, Calif.

  • The Photographed Environment in America
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 2006 Volume I: Photographing America: A Cultural History, 1840-1970 The Photographed Environment in America Curriculum Unit 06.01.02 by Stephen P. Broker Introduction The majestic Yosemite Valley in California is photographed from Inspiration Point: El Capitan, Bridal Veil Falls, Cathedral Spires, and Half Dome are seen in the distance with the Merced River Valley below. The year is 1865 or 1866. Over the course of the next decades, American tourists and foreign visitors to the United States will visit this and other national parks in growing numbers. Within the half-century, voices of alarm will be raised as the unique natural features that made these parks worthy of protection are increasingly threatened by commercial misuse and recreational overuse. The tallest and the most massive trees on Earth- the Coast Redwoods and the Giant Sequoias of Northern California -- are seen in photographic images by disbelieving Eastern eyes in the 1850s and 1860s. Through the nineteenth century and the first part of the twentieth century, those who would preserve these big trees for future generations met opposition from those who saw the trees as a valuable source of lumber. The establishment of Kings Canyon National Park in 1939 assured protection for some of the most significant stands of sequoias. By the year 2000, however, more than 80 per cent of all Pacific Northwest old-growth forests have fallen to the insatiable axe and saw. Some forty thousand hides from slaughtered buffalo are piled high in a commercial yard in Dodge City, Kansas in 1878, midway through the late nineteenth century's all-out effort to exterminate the many millions of American Bison from North American plains and woodlands.

  • The Yosemite Association Celebrates 80 Years a Message from the President
    A JOURNAL FOR MEMBERS OF THE YOSEMITE ASSOCIATION Summer 2003 Volume 65 Number 3 The Yosemite Association Celebrates 80 Years A Message from the President S OF AUGUST 4, THE YOSEMITE ASSOCIATION IS OFFICIALLY 80 YEARS OLD! Compared to some institutions, that’s just getting going, but in the context of Yosemite history it’s pretty impressive. Consider that Yosemite National Park has been in existence only 113 years, and the National Park Service began just 87 years ago. Our association has played an important role in the park for a truly significant time (in Yosemite years)! I have served as president of the organization for over 18 years now, and it’s an honor and a treat for A me to celebrate YA’s milestone anniversary with you. In researching and writing the history of the associa- tion (see the article at the center of this issue), I came to appreciate the park’s impressive educational tradition that was forged by talented men and women with amazing intellect and foresight. I hope that YA continues to meet the standards for curiosity, service, and creativity that our founders set for us. As we did in the spring, in this issue of Yosemite we are including an envelope, which we encourage you to use to send us an 80th anniversary gift. We are well on our way to raising $80,000 in our eightieth year, thanks to the 125 or so donations we’ve already received from members (see the list of contributors at the back of this jour- nal). We have some exciting plans and projects in the works, and your gifts will allow us to see them through.

  • Acquisitions (2 MB PDF)
    Collections The museum acquired 193 objects in 2002. Each adds unique quality to the collection, but even among them a few stand out as extraordinary. Grant Wood completed fewer than 40 paintings in his mature style, and the oppor- tunities to acquire them have been rare ever since the artist first came to prominence after the exhibition of his instantly iconic American Gothic. The museum has owned major prints by Wood, but not a painting—until this year, when, miraculously, the great 1940 composition January became avail- able. Not only is this a stunning work in its own right, and one of Wood’s last completed works (he died in 1942), it also relates to a Grant Wood litho- graph in the collection. Other major painting acquisitions included Oedipus at Colonus, the masterpiece of Fulchran-Jean Harriet, a leading figure at the time of the French Revolution whose career was stunted by his early death before the age of 30; Éva Meurier in a Green Dress, by the Symbolist Maurice Denis; and the Surrealist parody Le Déjeuner sur l’Herbre by Max Ernst. The decorative arts and sculpture collections were enriched by a late 18th-century marble, Figure of a Young Girl by François-Nicolas Delaistre, and a striking Limoges vase designed by Georges de Feure in about 1903. A small, elegant 18th-century sword from Switzerland joined the arms and armor collection. Louise Bourgeois’s 1984 white marble sculpture Blind Man’s Buff adds a new dimension to the contemporary collection, and Martin Puyear’s red cedar and pine sculpture Alien Huddle, 1993–95, familiar to many because it was on loan to the museum for a number of years, was officially welcomed as an acquisition, thanks to the generosity of Agnes Gund and Daniel 15 2-Collections.p65 15 6/10/2003, 4:28 PM Max Ernst (German, Shapiro.
