Professionally framed, this is a collection of four antique engravings from c1856  by John Mix Stanley of the USPRR Pacific railroad Westward Ho.

In 1853 Congress passed a bill ordering the Secretary of War to prepare a report detailing all possible railroad routes to the Pacific Ocean. The Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis, assigned the task of exploring those routes to several expedition parties. The exploration of the Northern Route, from St. Paul to Puget Sound, was commanded by Isaac I. Stevens, the new governor of Washington Territory.

John Mix Stanley (1814-1872), was born and raised in New York. He first came West as a draughtsman in General Stephen Watts Kearney's expedition to San Diego, under the W. H. Emory. After being discharged from the Army, he traveled independenly to Oregon in July 1847, intent upon depicting accurate portraits of Native Americans.

Of the eleven artists that accompanied the various surveys, John Mix Stanley covered the Pacific Northwest (another survey artist, Gustav Sohon, also depicted the Northwest) and his work is represented more than any other artist.

1935 Al Wettel

Found in the antiques mall "Little Yellow School House" in Bangor Maine area while on vacation in 2016.   I bought it because the clothes and furnishings look c1820 and the style of painting looks like a folk art itinerant artist.  The painting is on some kind of wood plywood and looks 19th century, preowned, minor chips to the corners of the board and if it was framed in the past or perhaps the top to a box or something, ...the plywood art was now unframed and in an antiques mall booth. So I bought it as a souvenir of my trip to Maine.

Looks like the work of  Joseph Davis

not signed or otherwise labeled

age unknown ...looks old.  It was not framed when I bought it and looked old and used so I put it in an antique wood frame, under glass, to protect it for further handling.  It hangs beautifully on my bedroom wall.

I cannot date the wood board.  My best measurement is 14 7/8" x 11 7/8". Plywood board has minor chips to corners since it apparently lost whatever frame or prior use for which it was designed.   I found an artist by the name of Joseph Davis     who did this style portraiture for his clients.  He was a folk artist and this was his template of painting his subjects.

Two beautiful black and white photos of New York City c 1950 (maybe earlier).   I have framed these pictures under glass for display on a wall.

Info on back of each photos inc. "#123"; which might be a code for the id of the photographer

Each is an 8x10 black and white glossy print

Written on the back in pencil

(1) Photo number one says "Essex House and hotel along Central Park South from Central Park 22900"

(21) The boating lake in Central park #42383

both have Devaney Inc NY stamps and say "For one reproduction only...photo must be loaned or syndicated. Not for advertising without permission".

solid wood. Please let me know if you recognize these figures... Are they Hawaiian? I haven't found any similarly clothed figures on the internet.  I've been to Hawaii and I feel like it could be Hawaiian / Polynesian and looks kind of like the large art sculptures one sees in nice hotels and restaurants in Hawaii or in stores in Waikiki shopping district.

These are made of wood, hand sculpted. I see no makers mark or signature.  I bought these from a high end consignment store in Nashville Tn where individuals sell their items when moving or redecorating.

Type of wood - unknown by me - is it Koa?

Each weighs about 12 lbs unpacked

The base is about 8"x8" square

Each sculpture stands about 25 to 25.5" tall

The girl has a darker patina than the man

The girl is slightly taller than the man. He appears to be a warrior and his costume indicates he wears only a loin cloth with no rear covering.

She wears only a wrap around skirt

Both are accompanied by a pet (dog?)

The wood has been carved apparently for a while as thee is dust in some crevices and the base of the girl has an age related non structural crack that does not affect its stability and is not  really noticeable unless you are visually inspecting the piece.

since I am not a wood expert, someone who knows how to care for wood should clean them and perhaps apply the appropriate wood oil to bring out the natural beauty and grain of the wood

DEER in Wooded Landscape - Colorado?

I can't make out the artists signature. I suppose it is difficult to write plainly with art media esp watercolors.

This is a 1911 political postcard framed in a c1920 frame under glass.
