19th-century Photography and Edward Curtis
Felice beato (1832-1909)
Panorama in five parts of Hong Kong, showing the Fleet for North China Expedition.
Albumen prints from wet-collodion glass negatives, each image measuring 8½x11¼ to 8½x12¼ inches (21.6x28.6 to 21.6x31.1 cm.). March 1, 1860
Estimate
$5,000 – $7,500
(china)
A large album with 24 photographs titled “Vues de la légation de France à Pekin.”
The title continues “M. Constans Ministre de France arrivé à Pekin avec Madame Constans Septembre 1886 repartis en Septembre 1887 pour le Japon et le Tonkin [Vietnam].” The album begins with images of the French Legation buildings and environs, including the arriving delegation and local visitors, the interior, and the surrounding park. Some street scenes follow. The final images seem to document the continued travels to Cambodia, Aden (Yemen), and Japan. Some photographs may be attributed to Thomas Child (1841-1898), who was active in the city at the time. Albumen prints, the images measuring 8¼x10½ inches (21x26.7 cm.), and slightly smaller, two the reverse, mounted recto only to two-toned mounts with a decorative border and captions in ink below each photograph. Thick folio, red leather with raised bands and decorative gilt on the backstrip, lightly worn; marbled endpapers. 1886-87
The Beijing Legation Quarter held all foreign legations between 1861 (established by the Convention of Peking after China's defeat in the Second Opium War of 1856-60) and 1959. The French legation was established in the residence of Prince An, and though the homes used for the legations were opulent (as is seen in this album), the area surrounding this section of the city (and the legations themselves) was apparently in a state of disrepair and poverty. Thomas Child is best known for his work in China, and operated out of Beijing in the 1870s and 80s. He arrived in China in 1870, and immediately began photographing the architecture of the city, the subjectmatter for which he is best known and celebrated today. There was no other commercial studio in Beijing at the time, and he began to see a demand for his work grow. By the late 1870s, he was published in the periodical The Far East, and continued to sell his prints from his studio in China. He compiled an early record of customs, architecture, and people, creating an important archive of imagery, including the only known photographic record of his architectural subjects. Thomas Child left Beijing in 1889.

(south india)
An album with more than 40 photographs, some by A.T.W. Penn (1849-1924), of the Tamil Nadu hill station of Ootacamund (Ooty).
Featuring the overlooked photographs of A.T.W. Penn, who here takes his place in the pantheon of great 10th-century Indian photographers. The album includes wonderfully composed views of the town (present day Udhagamandalam), including a four-panel panorama, the Nilgiri Hills, picnics, tents, church fetes, Anglo Indian groups, and a view of local Toda tribespeople in their huts. There is also a view of the Nizam of Hyderabad’s palace from the river, a portrait of two Hyderabad princes, several group and individual portraits of unidentified Britons, including a gaggle of civil servants and their wives in 18th-century costumes, British women dressed as nurses for a station bazaar, Madras troops and officers in Secunderabad, the European prison, the race track, and the inevitable icons of the Taj Mahal and the Cawnpore (Kanpur) Well Memorial to the victims of the Uprising of 1857. Albumen prints, the panorama measuring 8x42¾ inches (20.3x108.5 cm.), most of the images measuring 9x11 inches (22.9x27.9 cm.), and slightly smaller, approximately 13 are 5¼x7 inches (13.3x17.8 cm.) and slightly smaller, 12 with Penn’s credit in the negative and many with later captions below the images in pencil. Small folio, decorative binding with elegant gilt embossing. Late 1870s
Acquired in 1968 from the New and Secondhand Bookshop on Kalbadevi Road in Mumbai
Albert Thomas Watson Penn’s relative obscurity as a photographer compared to such Subcontinental contemporaries as Bourne, Shepherd, and Dayal, cannot be explained by the quality of his photographs. As his images in this album attest, he was every bit their technical and aesthetic equal. More likely it is due to the fact that he limited himself primarily to the Madras Presidency, especially the environs of his hill station base in Ootacamund, high in the Nilgiri Hills. Born in Somerset in 1849, Penn left England at the age of twelve and within four years had made his way to the Nilgiri Hills. There he set about mastering the still nascent art of photography and learning to contend with the peculiar Subcontinental difficulties--extreme temperatures, dust, mold, disease, poor roads and the slow and perilous transportation of his cumbersome equipment--that defeated many of India’s first photographers. Within a few years he was advertising his own “Ootacamund Photo Establishment,” and for nearly half a century came to be regarded as the region’s premier portraitist and documentarian. His countrymen on their hot-season sojourns and the Indian princes who took up summer residences in Ootacamund and nearby Conoor especially prized Penn’s landscapes, which are still regarded as some of the finest Indian vistas ever taken. After retiring from the field, Penn returned to England for a few years, only to move back to his beloved Nilgiris, where, in October 1924, he died of apoplexy mounting the steps of All Souls Church in Conoor, where he was buried on Tiger Hill.

Frances benjamin johnston (1864-1955)
The New Woman (self-portrait in her Washington D.C. studio).
Silver print, the image measuring 8x9⅞ inches (20.3x25.1 cm.); partially mounted to a board with a typed caption label from The Sandler Collection on verso. 1896; printed circa 1950 or earlier
In this striking self-portrait Frances Benjamin Johnston's confidence, subversion of norms, and energetic presence are keenly demonstrated throughout the composition. Her crossed ankle, angled openly towards the viewer and revealing bright petticoats and tight-clad leg, beer stein, and stylized handling of her cigarette, all show a woman in full control of herself and her medium. Above her, portraits of men (some identifiable) she photographed decorate the mantle, a collection of objects that declare her success and highlight her gender.
In 1894, just two years prior to making this image, Johnston was described as "the only lady in the business of photography in the city" by the The Washington Times. And clearly, she was conscious of her role as a pioneer for women in photography, telling a reporter in 1893, “It is another pet theory with me that there are great possibilities in photography as a profitable and pleasant occupation for women, and I feel that my success helps to demonstrate this, and it is for this reason that I am glad to have other women know of my work.” Johnston was one of the first female press photographers in the United States, one of the first women to enjoy a long successful career as a photographer, recording and reporting on events, making portraits of celebrities, Presidents in the White House, and more. She documented architecture, advocating for preservation of historical buildings, and and earned widespread recognition and fame for her work. But, Johnston was not part of artistic circles, and fell out of memory after her death.
Years later, Lincoln Kirstein discovered a bound album of Johnston's photographs made at the Hampton Institute, a preparatory and trade school for African American and Native American students. Kirsten gave the album to the Museum of Modern Art, which identified and reproduced the images in a 1966 book. These images have helped bring her back to the public eye.
