Title A name given to the resource The Moon Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource James Nasmyth (creator) James Carpenter (creator) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1885 22.0 x 15.0 cm QB 581 N26 1885 Description An account of the resource The Moon: Considered as a Planet, a World, and a Satellite by British scientists James Nasmyth and James Carpenter raises questions about the role that photographs play in circulating knowledge. The book’s photographs offer a likeness of the moon, and circulated knowledge about the moon’s surface, but what the pictures record was not the moon at all. Based on observations through the telescope, Nasmyth and Carpenter created plaster models of the moon’s surface and then photographed the models under precise lighting conditions. The results are certainly photographic, recording an <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/what-is-photography">indexical</a> relationship to their subjects, but, to what extent do they deliver the type of truthful image that we commonly expect of photographic images?  The photographs included in the volume were created by the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOqsaCu-_yw&feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Woodburytype process</a>, which records a wider range of tones than many other photomechanical processes. A full scan of Nasmyth and Carpenter's The Moon is available through the <a href="https://archive.org/details/moonconsideredas00nasmiala" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Internet Archive</a>.

Title A name given to the resource The North American Indian Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Edward Curtis (photographer) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1907 32.5 x 26 cm (folio plates 57 x 46 cm) E 77 C97 1907 Description An account of the resource The North American Indian is a twenty-volume study of Indigenous peoples in North America, published by photographer <a href="https://www.loc.gov/collections/edward-s-curtis/about-this-collection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Edward Curtis</a> between 1907 and 1930. Bruce Peel Special Collections houses all twenty volumes, each illustrated with <a href="https://www.nga.gov/research/online-editions/alfred-stieglitz-key-set/practices-and-processes/photogravures.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">photogravures</a>, as well as accompanying portfolios of the photographic plates. Curtis's photographs offer an example of the Pictorialist aesthetic popular among art photographers at the turn of the century. As explained on the <a href="https://archive.artic.edu/stieglitz/pictorialism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Art Institute of Chicago's website</a>, Pictorialists like Curtis "preferred romantic or idealized imagery over the documentation of modern life, welcoming artistic composition and soft focus." These characteristics permeate Curtis's photographs in The North American Indian.  Iroquois artist <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG-Opj3NGC4%20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeff Thomas</a> has said that Curtis's photographs make him "long to hear the subjects' voices." With his project <a href="https://jeff-thomas.ca/2014/04/my-north-american-indian-v21/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">My North American Indian Volume 21</a>, Thomas engages Curtis's images in order to—in Thomas's words—"challenge the silences in the archive; to build a new paradigm that connects past and present." The complete set of Curtis's The North American Indian is one of the highlights of the <a href="https://bpsc.library.ualberta.ca/collections/gregory-s-javitch-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gregory S. Javitch Collection</a> of books about North and South American Indigenous peoples and cultures.

Title A name given to the resource The Quill Lake Homemakers' Club Cook Book Description An account of the resource This community cookbook hails from Quill Lake, east of Saskatoon. A number of community cookbooks in Saskatchewan were compiled by the Homemakers’ Clubs, which were established in that province in 1911 and raised money for hospitals, libraries, community halls, and similar social infrastructure. Though they shunned overtly political causes, such clubs allowed women the ability to participate in shaping their communities; in 1916, they would be permitted to vote in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Elizabeth Driver notes in Culinary Landmarks that the Quill Lake club, which was established in 1914, disbanded in 1971 (1027). As its subheading suggests, this book offers a collection of recipes reflecting mixed cultural influences. Included are Mrs. W.H. King’s “Raisin Dumplings,” Mrs. Axel Olson’s “Julekake,” along with Mrs. Annie Zeebin’s “Holopski” and an unattributed “Conserves de Poisson” in French (with errors). At the same time, it incorporates recipes from as far away as Los Angeles and Louisiana, demonstrating American publishers’ strong influence on the Canadian cooking scene. The book also contains recipes for a number of poetically named cakes: “Windblown Cake,” “Sunshine Cake,” “Daffodil Cake,” and “Featherweight Cake” (the first three resemble angel food cakes), as well as Mrs. Harry Brown’s “Wonder Pickle” (which contains red and green peppers besides cucumbers and onions). It was evidently a carefully used book, as it contains many handwritten corrections by an alert and skilled cook and baker. Community cookbooks were often partially funded by advertising. Alongside those for flour, other household products, and beauty shops, this book contains ads for automobile and tractor dealerships, lumber companies, and agricultural fertilizers, as well as local insurance companies, dentists, shops, cafes, and theatres. Perhaps these suggest a broader readership; more likely, they are signs of community support and sponsorship, as well as women’s influence in decision-making for family purchases.
