3 Real Photo Postcards likely taken in San Jose, California, perhaps in Alum Rock Park. These RPPCs show a large group of young men and women picnicking and hiking on April 5, 1908 (photos are dated, and the photographers initials are on two). These three photo postcards document a fun day of outdoor exploration and picnicking by a group of friends dressed in attire typical for the early 1900s. One image identifies some of those pictured including a woman named Iva. These postcards are from the collection of that person, Iva Blanche Smith. She attended the King Conservatory of Music in San Jose starting at age 16 and would have been 19 on the date these postcard photos were taken. In Iva’s self-reported written account of her life, she noted that the San Francisco earthquake on April 6, 1908 (the day after these photos) leveled many buildings in San Jose, including the conservatory which was damaged and had to close temporarily. Unposted, no rips, creases or tears.

California Landscape – Rock detail, abstract. Original vintage silver gelatin photograph – scarce. Photographer’s ink stamps and notations on verso. Date Of Print: 1955 – 1962. Double weight fiber based photographic paper. 8 x 10 inches. Many people refer to Philip Hyde as the underappreciated master landscape photographer of the 20th Century. His photographs participated in more environmental campaigns than those of any other photographer. At the birth of the modern environmental movement, he was one of the primary illustrators of the groundbreaking Sierra Club Exhibit Format Series. He dedicated his life to defending Western American wilderness, working with the Wilderness Society, National Audubon and others. His color landscapes inspired a generation of photographers, while helping to establish color photography as a fine art. His photographs helped protect Dinosaur National Monument, the Grand Canyon, the Coast Redwoods, Point Reyes, King’s Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, the North Cascades, Canyonlands, the Wind Rivers, Big Sur and many other National Parks and wilderness areas. American Photo Magazine named Philip Hyde’s photograph, “Cathedral In The Desert, Glen Canyon, Utah, 1964″ one of the top 100 photographs of the 20th century. Ansel Adams said that Philip Hyde was one of the very best photographers of the natural scene in America. ” Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Jack Dykinga said, “Philip Hyde inspired many of the’Who’s Who’ of Landscape Photography working today. ” In Outdoor Photographer and many other magazines, Philip Hyde is referred to as “one of the all-time most influential landscape masters. Born and raised in San Francisco, Philip Hyde lived for 50 years in the house he built in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California with his late wife Ardis. At the California School of Fine Arts, now the San Francisco Art Institute, Philip Hyde studied under Ansel Adams, Minor White, Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, Lisette Model, Dorothea Lange and other definers of the medium. Philip Hyde’s work has appeared in more than 80 books and 100 major publications including The New York Times, Audubon, Life, National Geographic, Aperture, B&W Magazine, Fortune and Newsweek. His work has been exhibited in over 100 of North America’s finest venues. Please see lists of exhibitions under “INFO”. The North American Nature Photography Association honored him with a lifetime achievement award in 1996. He received the California Conservation Council’s Merit Award in 1962 and the Albert Bender Grant in 1956. In 2009, the International League of Conservation Photographers made Philip Hyde an honorary member. In most cases Hyde made only 2 or 4 prints of a given image and on rare occasions would print 8 prints from a specific negative but, never more. These extremely low print numbers (Ansel Adams routinely printed hundreds of prints from a negative) have resulted in Hyde’s vintage silver gelatin prints being extremely rare and mostly unavailable (long ago snapped up by savvy collectors). A small number of Hyde’s vintage silver gelatin prints were offered by a handful of prestigious photography galleries Weston Gallery, Scott Nichols Gallery, etc. Philip Hyde original vintage prints are extremely RARE. Philip Hyde never printed more than eight prints of a given image and in most cases he printed only two to four. Variations in value are due to several factors, but are primarily based on the photograph’s subsequent significance, exhibition history, publishing history, etc. There is generally little variation in condition, with a few exceptions.

Hyde’s photographs of the American West were used in more environmental campaigns than those of any other photographer. Later in his career Hyde, along with Eliot Porter, became the leading pioneers in advancing color landscape photography as an art form. Hyde made his first landscape photograph in 1942 and trained directly under Ansel Adams, Minor White, Imogen Cunningham, Dorothea Lange and other renowned photographers at the California School of Fine Arts which is now the San Francisco Art Institute. He was the only full time professional landscape photographer who learned his craft directly from these historic artists and became a master darkroom printer in his own right. In most cases Hyde made only 2 or 4 prints of a given image and on rare occasions would print 8 prints from a specific negative but, never more. These extremely low print numbers (Ansel Adams routinely printed hundreds of prints from a negative) have resulted in Hyde’s vintage silver gelatin prints being extremely rare and mostly unavailable (long ago snapped up by savvy collectors).
