Title A name given to the resource Geological Survey of California: The Yosemite Book Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1868 20.5 x 15.5 cm F 868 Y6 C15 1868 folio Description An account of the resource Between 1860 and 1874, a team headed by Josiah D. Whitney <a href="https://naturalhistory.si.edu/research/botany/about/historical-expeditions/california-geological-survey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surveyed the state of California</a> in order to gather and circulate information about the natural resources of California. Most of the photographs in the volume featured here were taken by America photographer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hxHPhEXFr8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carleton E. Watkins</a>. As you contemplate the photographs, remember that Watkins used the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnxT4WQsLLM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wet collodion process</a>, and therefore would have had to carry with him all of the glass plate negatives he intended to use, a large-format camera and tripod, all the chemicals required for preparing and developing his plates, and a portable darkroom. The photographs are printed on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObveSq3cMkw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">albumen paper</a> and pasted into the book. Though the photographs included here originated in a scientific project intended to survey the land, they drew on conventions for representing <a href="https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/s/sublime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sublime landscapes</a> that had grown popular in the late-eighteenth century. To get a sense of the characteristics of the sublime, compare these photographs with picturesque drawings by <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3052">William Gilpin</a> or to the picturesque views included in souvenir books like <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3060">Views of Portree</a>. The sublime has been a recurring theme in landscape photography, and perhaps this is not surprising. A sublime landscape is one that is awe-inspiring in its grandeur, almost unbelievable, and so we can expect that a photographer might take a picture in order to offer proof of such a view. Photographers other than Watkins known for their sublime landscapes include <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3141">Ansel Adams</a> and <a href="https://www.edwardburtynsky.com/projects/photographs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Edward Burtynsky</a>.  Watkins's photographs have served various purposes depending on their contexts. In the introduction to this volume on Yosemite, for example, Whitney wrote that the purpose of the publication is “to call the attention of the public to the scenery of California, and to furnish a reliable guide to some of its most interesting features.” The photographs included here had the desired effect; Watkins’s sublime photographs of Yosemite are often credited with “<a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/carleton-watkins-yosemite-photographer-national-parks-180959065/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saving Yosemite</a>.” Almost a century later, <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3141">Ansel Adams’s photographs of Yosemite</a> continued this relationship between photography and nature conservation. While Watkins’s photographs fit easily within a geological survey, they have also found a home in art collections, including the collections of the <a href="https://www.nga.gov/collection/artist-info.13519.html#biography" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Gallery of Art</a> in Washington, DC and the <a href="https://www.moma.org/artists/6260#works" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Museum of Modern Art</a> in New York. These photographs therefore provide a good example of how “photography’s discursive spaces,” to borrow art critic Rosalind Krauss’s words, can change the meaning of a photograph.  A full scan of the book is available through the <a href="https://archive.org/details/GR_4646/page/n5/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Internet Archive</a>.

Title A name given to the resource How We Are Fed Description An account of the resource This reader, employed as a textbook in Alberta schools in the 1920s (“Alberta School”), creatively approaches geography lessons through the accessible medium of food. The author, James Chamberlain, writes, “The natural connecting link between the immediate surroundings and the outside world is the present daily life of the home,” a truism in a period when new modes of transportation made for faster and less expensive global trade. The Canadian reader might learn about the structures of communities and nations and the interdependence of individuals through topics as diverse as market gardening, fishing, rice, sugar, pasta, coffee and tea plantations, coconut and banana trees, dates, oranges, and nuts. Priorities and judgements of the period are clear in the book’s celebration of the scientific division of labour, as well as its separation of the “civilized” from the “uncivilized.” The discussion of restaurants is another reminder of an urbanizing landscape. This copy may have been used by a German-speaking student: she glosses “curdle” as gerinnen and translates “whey” as molke on the following page.

The photographs, reproduced as <a href="https://www.moma.org/collection/terms/collotype" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collotypes</a>, and their accompanying texts were intended for English-speaking armchair travellers who might never step foot in Japan.

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 A Guide to Good Cooking Description An account of the resource Jean Brodie was a popular Toronto-based food writer in the 1930s, responsible for 100 Tested Recipes, produced for the Farmer’s Dairy in Toronto. She also edited a food column for the Toronto Star: as one early ad put it, “To further its qualities as a meeting ground for producer and consumer, The Star Weekly has taken pains to establish a cookery department second to none, in which Jean Brodie, advisor in matters culinary, provides cooking methods which link up food with tastes and are invaluable to both” (“Will the World”). The recipes in A Guide to Good Cooking were solicited from the community in a nationwide campaign, but unlike the earlier Five Roses Cook Book, contributors’ names and hometowns were stripped away and the recipes were cemented into the national culinary canon. Western Canada still took a central role, however, as Five Roses flour was advertised on the back cover as “The Pure Produce of Western Canadian Hard Spring Wheat.” A Guide to Good Cooking was also aimed at a more sophisticated audience than the earlier Five Roses book: gone was the string for hanging it on the kitchen wall, and the book contains recipes for elegant sandwiches and modern “Vitamin Salad.” Still, the wholesome tone was not totally lost: the editor admitted that “Princess Pudding” was “merely a new name” for a familiar kind of shortcake. This copy was particularly well used: some of the coupons, which could be distributed to friends and neighbours so that they could send for their own free copies of the book, are torn out.
