both ca 11" x 13" on original heavy gray card stock, signed and titled in negatives including X35 Group Indian Hop Pickers In Hop Fields-Mt. Si In Distance with 21 Northwest Coast Native Americans (Chinook/Siwash) in Anglo dress and an Anglo gentleman and young lady, many decorated with hop wreaths, several large native baskets being used to harvest the hops, marked lower left Copyright 1906 by Darius Kinsey 1607 E. Alder St. Seattle, Wash.; AND second entitled X33 Siwash Hop Pickers In Enoqualmie Hop Fields, Washington marked lower right as last. Darius Kinsey (1871-1945) was determined to capture the heroic period of logging and other industries in the primeval forests of the American West and Alaska. Arriving in 1889 in the frontier settlement of Snoqualmie Kinsey almost immediately became involved in photography, establishing a successful portrait studio in Sedro-Wooley before moving it to Seattle in 1906. As early as 1895 Kinsey began photographing life and work in the logging camps, hauling his heavy equipment to very difficult and isolated country to photograph the labors of the men in the lumber industry of the virgin forests of the northwest. Kinsey created a body of work that is far more than a simple documentation of the logging industry at the turn of the century. Kinsey elevated industrial photography to the level of fine art. Darius Kinsey's photographs have been included in several museum and gallery exhibitions in the United States and Japan. They are also held in many private and museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Whatcom Museum in Bellingham, Washington and the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. Condition: 1st EXC.; 2nd with minor chips at corners of card stock, VG+.
