Title: SMS Hertha: German Protected Cruiser in the Far East – 1903 Chromolithograph This 1903 chromolithograph by Hugo Graf from 'Deutschland zur See' features the SMS Hertha, a protected cruiser of the German Imperial Navy, launched in 1897. The print, measuring approximately 20 x 33 cm on its original 39 x 51 cm mount, captures the ship against an exotic coastal backdrop, hinting at its service in distant waters. SMS Hertha served in the East Asia Squadron, reflecting Germany’s expanding influence in Asia. It saw action in China during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 and continued to patrol German colonies in the Pacific. This piece, with slight wear and spotting on the mount, is ideal for collectors interested in maritime history and Germany’s imperial endeavors before World War I. --- Here are some interesting facts and highlights about SMS Hertha: 1. **Service in the East Asia Squadron**: SMS Hertha was part of the German East Asia Squadron, a fleet stationed in the Pacific to protect German colonial interests in China and the Pacific islands. The ship's service in Asia symbolized Germany’s ambitions to establish a global presence and compete with other European colonial powers. 2. **Participation in the Boxer Rebellion**: In 1900, SMS Hertha was deployed to China to support the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion. Along with other German and international forces, the cruiser helped protect foreign nationals...

Presented is a fine photogravure portrait of Bear’s Teeth of the Arikara tribe by Edward Curtis. The image is Plate 154 from Supplementary Portfolio 5 of Edward Curtis' epic project The North American Indian. The caption, written by Curtis, for this image is as follows: “A member of the Night order of the medicine fraternity.” This photogravure was published in 1908 and was printed by John Andrew & Son, in Boston. Edward S. Curtis created one of the most enduring and iconic visual records in the history of the photographic medium. He was an award-winning artist, a consummate craftsman, a visionary, an intrepid entrepreneur, and was highly regarded as a respected ethnographer and publisher. Curtis began photographing Native Americans in the mid-1890s and selling these images in his successful downtown Seattle studio. One of his earliest models was Princess Angeline, the aged daughter of chief Sealth, the Suquamish Indian after whom Seattle is named. At the National Photographic Convention of 1899 Curtis was awarded the grand prize for three of his soft-focused, sepia-toned images of Puget Sound Native Americans: Evening on the Sound, The Clam Digger, and The Mussel Gatherer. Curtis spent the summer of 1900 with George Bird Grinnell observing the Sun Dance at an encampment of Blood, Blackfeet, and Algonquin in Montana. This was a pivotal experience for Curtis, confirming his desire to study and photograph the Native tribes of North America. A trip to visit the Hopi reservation in Arizona a few months later further fueled his enthusiasm. Curtis envisioned a plan to create a massive scholarly and artistic work that would document the tribes west of the Mississippi, their ceremonies, beliefs, daily life, and landscapes. In 1906, Curtis approached railroad tycoon J.P. Morgan to request financial assistance for his project. Morgan agreed to pay him a total of $75,000, or $15,000 a year for five years. Morgan and Curtis decided that Curtis' masterwork, The North American Indian, would be a set of 20 volumes of ethnographic text illustrated with high quality photoengravings taken from his glass plate negatives. Each of these volumes would be accompanied by a portfolio of large size images, all sumptuously bound in Moroccan leather. The papers used for printing would also be of the best quality: a Dutch etching stock by Van Gelder, a Japanese vellum, and for the most discerning subscribers, a translucent Japanese tissue paper. To fund publication, Curtis would sell subscriptions at approximately $3,000 per set, with a total of 500 sets to be published. An ambitious and extensive project, Curtis spent much of his life documenting as many Native tribes as possible. The importance and the urgency of the task was clear to him, as he wrote in the introduction to his first volume of The North American Indians in 1907, "The information that is to be gathered ... respecting the mode of life of one of the great races of mankind, must be collected at once or the opportunity will be lost." In 1930, some 24 years after his initial request for funding, the last two volumes, Vol. 19 and Vol. 20, were published and The North American Indian project was finally completed. Curtis took over 40,000 photographs and made over 10,000 wax...
