Docleaf and Feral you have some nice rare books. Very nice. I wish I had them in my collection. Thanks for sharing.
Feral I have never seen the Hashish book you posted . Can you please describe the Hashish book. Where was it published? Any photos?

These are the oldest photos of Cannabis I can find. I have researched evrywhere ,found many lithographs and prints but no photos older than these.
Ill post more of the Semsimellia book soon.
Thanks all

four seasons, I got this off of Amazon.com. I saw a few others on their as well. I was able to snag this for 15.00 usd and its the first printing. I saw a couple on there go as high as 80 some dollars. I esp. want to hit some old bookstores and see what I might find. Looking for the first 2-3 years of High Times when I started smoking and buying the mag. Those were the days.

Raco is that Clarkes Hashish book? I have that as well.Read bits and pieces and want to do a cover to cover read in the cold winter months when I can curl up with a good bowl of weed and my cat and enjoy it.

Very nice, everyone!

Here's an old one that has no info on it. What's #1 & 2?

It was the only MJ photo in 'The Cultivator's Handbook of Marijuana' by Bill Drake, 1970. Everything else was illustrated.

 

[Raco]

feral,
yes,Hashish!...enjoy,I purchased it in 1999

Highlighter,
"hemp" female and male ,if I don´t remember bad

 

[Highlighter]

It would certainly appear so Raco! Would like to know the date is all. EDITlol, I was just thumbing through an old 'Sinsemillia Tips' and came across it! Pictured is Lyster Hoxie Dewey, Beltsville Maryland, taken for the 1913 USDA Yearbook.

That photo would appear a yr. later, 1971, in William Daniel Drake Jr's 'The Connoisseur's Handbook of Marijuana.'
Yes, the same author, but w/ a big-time publisher.
Here's a few pics from that:

 

[feral]

hmmmm...........seems that Drake, and Sumach used a lot of the same pics back then which is understandable since there was no internet/google. Wonder where they got them from (?).

If I ever switched up my avatar, this guy would be a contender.

Nice ^^ fs,Doc,feral

Nice pic, that would be the advert used to sell the instructions to make ice/water hash as sold by Sam in HT, I think it dates from 1985 or early 1986.

Pictured is Lyser Hoxie Dewey, Beltsville Maryland, taken for the 1913 USDA Yearbook.

that explains a lot for me. I grew up about a stones throw from there. It sits right outside the U of Md. College Park campus and there was a LOT of wooded areas back then when we were teens and occasionally we would come across a couple patches in the deep woods that we referred to as ditch weed. Looked good but never got ya high just gave ya a serious headache.

Cool, ferel!

Lyster Hoxie Dewey (1865–1944) was an American botanist, born in Cambridge, Michigan In 1888, he graduated from Michigan Agricultural College where, for the next two years, he taught botany. He was an assistant botanist of the United States Department of Agriculture from 1890 to 1902 and thereafter botanist in charge of fibre investigations. In 1911, he was the U.S. representative to the International Fibre Congress in Surabaya, Java. His publications comprised bulletins of the United States Department of Agriculture on the production of fibre from flax, hemp, sisal, and manila plants; on the classification and origin of the varieties of cotton; and also investigations on grasses and troublesome weeds.
