Description: Eighteen Original Photographs by Washington Based Photographer Albert Henry Barnes Author: Barnes, Albert Henry Title: Eighteen Original Photographs by Washington Based Photographer Albert Henry Barnes Publication: 1909-1911 Description: Albert Henry Barnes. Loose Photos. 18 photographs by Albert Henry Barnes (1876-1920) each measuring 8.25 x 6.25 inches, mounted to sheets which appear to be extracted from an album. Versos are blank. Sheets have edge wear; photos are in very good to fine condition. Contains a mix of signed photos in the negative plus three signed on actual photo; several copyrighted 1909-1911. All photos identified in manuscript on each album page plus several photos identified in the negative. Images include several Mount Rainier scenes, the Tacoma & Eastern Railway track above Elbe, Washington and a rare portrait of Philemon Beecher Van Tramp--a member of the first documented party to reach the summit of Mt. Rainier in 1870. The highlights in the collection, to my eye, are the close-up views of old growth timber including stands of cedar and fir alongside roadways in and around Mt. Rainier. Many well composed artistic images.Well known as both a regional photographer and an oil painter, Albert Henry Barnes documented images of the landscape, people, and cities and towns of Western Washington around the turn of the 20th century. Barnes apparently operated out of studios both in Parkland and Tacoma. He also wrote descriptive articles for photography magazines, railroad publications, and travel books. In 1909, he photographed, wrote, and published a work entitled "Sights and Scenes from Tacoma to Paradise Park: Forty-eight Views". In 1911, in collaboration with his friend A.H. Denman, he published his best-known work, "Our Greatest Mountain and Alpine Regions of Wonder". The work contained a number of Barnes landscape photographs, as well as a color reproduction of his painting entitled Mount Tacoma. The University of Washington holds a large collection of his work but he has faded into obscurity. Source: The University of Washington Digital Collections website.
