Visual Materials
Larger photographic prints mostly made from larger 11 x 14 inch glass plate negatives. Sitters include Theodore Roosevelt (1902), a signed and mounted platinum print of Frances Folsom Cleveland, Julian Pauncefote, Wu T'ing Fang and his wife Madame Wu, and more. There is also a series of autographed salt prints of well-known men. The images are duplicates of the 8x10 inch portraits listed in the Portraits Series and appear to be a series that Johnston was preparing as a limited edition for sale.
