About This Item
New York: Burr Publishing Co, 1909. Wraps. Fair. Color illustrated wraps, with a string tied binding. Unpaginated. Black and white photos throughout as well as one apparent painted photo by Karl Moon. Single issue of this monthly magazine, this one relying heavily on photographs. Of note are a series of 14 Photographs by Carl moon, an American photographer perhaps best known for his photographs of Native Americans. These photos depict Native Americans living in the Taos, New Mexico area and are reminiscent of the work by Edward Curtis. While some critics have acclaimed his work for its documentation of Native American life, the work seems to mythologize the false concept of the disappearance of Native Americans in the US. The article concludes, "we are loath to confess that, in the final count, it is best that man's progress in the cultivation of land should be unchecked, and our reluctance lies in the fact that this change must toll the knell of the Redman's [sic] day." Among the other photos in the book are photos of celebrities and of the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New York. Included in these photos is one depicting Wilbur Wright flying over Governor's Island in New York. His flight that day included the first over water and the canoe that he mounted underneath the airplane as a precaution against a water landing can be seen in the photo. FAIR condition. Frontispiece illustration haphazardly cut out of the magazine. Very heavy scuffing, chipping, creasing, tearing, and loss to the covers along the extremities, with most of the spine missing. Some creasing, soiling, and staining to the covers, with superficial paper loss to the rear cover. Large faint pencil circle present to the front cover. A very small old price sticker at the upper right corner of the front cover. Very light scattered foxing in the interior.
