C. H. GRAVES
Carlton H.
Graves started producing stereoviews in
Philadelphia
around 1880. All Graves Philippine stereoviews were published under the
brand name Universal Photo Art Company. The company was active from about 1895
to 1910, after which the negatives were sold to Underwood and Underwood, and presumably went
from there to Keystone with the rest of the Underwood stock.
Graves published
a catalog of about 1600 views, which included a set of 100 Philippines views numbered from
8901 to 9000. Some views were separately published with numbers 1 to 100, which
correspond to the range 8901 to 9000 of the catalog. Some were published
without number, mostly with captions identical to the numbered views. All views in the set
are on light gray curved mount with a typical blind-stamp impression of the
publisher's name, address and logo. Graves
used a platinum-process printing method and labeled some of the views The Art
Nouveau (Platino) Stereograph. The 100-view set depicts the daily life of Filipinos and Manila street
scenes. The captions are short
and factual.
Graves also published few views on the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and a separate series of war-related views numbered in
the range 5238 to 5251, with a photo quality lower than that of the
platinum series, and with captions written in the negatives.
