Even in his teens, Brett Weston was at the vanguard of modernism in photography, participating in several group exhibitions that established photography as a distinct art form. Throughout Weston's six-decade relationship with photography, abstraction characterized his style, becoming more visually adventurous over time. The popularity of Weston's striking imagery has grown extensively in our own century.

Ernest C. Withers: Ernie Banks, Larry Doby, Matt Brescia (agent) and Jackie Robinson at Martin’s Stadium, Memphis, TN
1952, silver print, signed on verso. Image size: 9.875" x 12.5", sheet size: 11" x 14" ($3,000–$4,500)
With Certificate of Authenticity.
This photograph was taken during a ball game when barnstorming major league players traveled around the country to play against still surviving Negro League Baseball teams. Jackie Robinson was the first Black ball player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame from the National League, and Larry Doby was the first Black player inducted into the Hall of Fame from the American League.
Ernest Withers was raised and lived his entire life in Memphis,TN. Trained in the segregated army, he started his own photo studio in 1948 — a year after Jackie Robinson entered Major League Baseball. Withers photographed weddings, funerals, graduations, yearbook pictures and evolved into a photojournalist documenting the Civil Rights Movement in the South, the Memphis Beale Street Blues Scene, and the twilight years of Negro League Baseball. When this picture was taken, Memphis was still a segregated city, and you can see that the best seats behind the dugout were occupied by Black fans, with a section cordoned off for whites further out in right field.

Woodbury and Page: Chinese School of Dance, Semarang
c. 1867, albumen print, on original mount. Image size: 8" x 10", sheet size: 11.75" x 15.75" mount ($1,200–$1,750)
Walter Woodbury (1834–1885) was an apprentice in a patent office in Manchester, England, from 1849 to 1851. He went to the Australian gold fields in 1852. Woodbury took up professional photography (he invented the 'Woodburytype' process) and emigrated with James Page to Java around 1856–58. They established the firm of Woodbury and Page in Batavia about 1860.
Woodbury returned to England in 1863, but the firm continued trading until about 1910 under Woodbury's younger brother, Albert, after Page also left in 1861.
There is an indistinct negative number in the top right corner of this untrimmed image which clearly shows the peeling collodion edges. The dancers are not actually Chinese they are Javanese. The house is that of the Be family who were prominent as the effective mayors of the Chinatown to which Chinese merchants were confined, the rank called Cina. (Information provided by Curator Gael Newton). There are Javanese (or Gamelan) orchestra instruments. In Indonesia, gamelan often accompanies dance.
