An original 10×8 vintage photo from a very large collection of fascinating and rare original NASA press photographs that originated from a NASA employee in the photo lab or press office at the Lyndon B. A number of the images from this collection appear to be one of a kind or used internally only. This is an original print on Kodak paper. Photo Overview This vivid 8×10 false-color infrared photograph shows the entire San Francisco Bay Area, California, as captured from Earth orbit by the Skylab 2 crew in June 1973 with the Earth Resources Experiment Package (EREP). Clouds swirl over the Pacific at left while the Golden Gate, the cities of San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley, the Santa Cruz Mountains and snowy Sierra Nevada foothills stand out in magenta tones. The cream border carries the red NASA photo number “S12-03-118, ” and the front is boldly hand-signed “Charles Conrad, ” the Skylab 2 commander and Apollo 12 Moonwalker. Skylab was America’s first space station; its pioneering EREP imaged our planet in multispectral bands that opened new paths for environmental monitoring and urban planning. Charles “Pete” Conrad, already famous for his jaunty Whoopee! Step on the Moon in 1969, spent 28 days aboard Skylab setting endurance records and conducting 400 hrs of research-work that laid groundwork for today’s Earth-observing satellites. Own a piece of space-age history and a scarce Pete Conrad autograph-add it to your cart before another collector does!

PHOTOGRAPHER : Charles Taber (see bio below). SUBJECT : This business card for photographer Charles Taber, which gives his San Francisco location. It was handed out to attendees of the stage play O. Australia’ (a play about the Australian gold rush occurring at the time). The business card front shows a scene from the play. The back of the card shows the play name, the attendee and their seat number. Taber provided photographs from the play and its actors for sale to attendees. SIZE : Business card measures. 3.875″ x 2.625″, mounted photo measures 2.875″ x 1.75″. Charles Taber was a renowned American photographer, best known for his work in the 19th century. He was active during the mid to late 1800s and became particularly famous for his portrait photography, capturing detailed images of individuals, groups, and landscapes. Taber was based in “New York City”, where he operated a successful studio and gained recognition for his technical skill and artistic approach to photography. Taber’s work emerged during a period when photography was rapidly evolving. He primarily used the “daguerreotype” process early in his career, which was one of the first commercial methods of creating photographic images. The daguerreotype was widely popular in the 1840s and 1850s but was eventually overshadowed by newer processes like the “albumen print” and “tin-type”, which allowed for more durable prints and greater accessibility to the public. By the time Taber established his name in the photographic community, the “albumen print” had become the standard, and his studio began producing high-quality prints on this medium. These prints became particularly popular for portraits, as they offered a sharp, detailed image and could be mass-produced. Taber’s photographic work covered a wide range of subjects, including “portraits of notable figures”, “historical events”, and “landscape photography”. He was known for his work in capturing images of the “American Civil War”, documenting soldiers, military leaders, and civilian life. His portrait sessions were marked by an ability to capture not just the likeness of his subjects but also their personalities, often highlighting their expressions or attire in a way that conveyed their social status or professional background. Throughout his career, Taber continued to experiment with photographic techniques. He embraced the evolving technology and became a pioneer in the development of “stereoscopic photography”, which produced 3D images when viewed through a special viewer. This format became incredibly popular during the latter half of the 19th century and was one of the most common forms of entertainment in American homes during the period. His studio produced thousands of stereographs, many of which were distributed widely across the United States. In addition to portrait photography, Taber was involved in creating “commercial photographs” for businesses, exhibitions, and public events. He often worked on large-scale projects, including the production of images for World’s Fairs and expositions, capturing not only the architecture and technology on display but also the people attending these major events. Despite the eventual rise of other photographers and the decline of some of the older photographic processes, Taber’s legacy continued to be felt well into the early 20th century. His contributions to both portrait and landscape photography made him a respected figure in the history of American photography, and his images remain valuable historical documents, providing insight into 19th-century American life.

When he passed away, they referred to him in the papers as “the Mariposa pioneer”. From an 1867 article: “On Monday last, Frederick DAUT and “Indian Tom, both of whom were working for Mr. MALONE, near CLARK’s saw mill, Mariposa county, were considerably injured by a premature blast while working in a tail-race of a mining claim. DAUT had the flesh torn from his hand and his eyes badly burned with powder. Tom was also burned about the face and eyes. He discovered Schroeder Mine in 1878. When Schoeder passed, his will was published in the papers and he’d written that his main executor was Fred Daut. Schroeder’s wife (Elizabeth Worther Schoeder aka grandma Schanz Schroder) had been previously married. In his will, John left his stepdaughter, Louisa C. George Dietrich Stewart his house on Saxon’s Creek with gardens, outbuildings, blacksmith’s shop, etc. Schroeder left his buggy to Fred Daut’s daughter, Emilia. He left further property to his daughter Mrs. Carl Schiffer (Theresa Schroeder Schiffer), his son Carl J. See: Mariposa Gazette, Volume LVII, Number 45, 30 March 1912.
