Subseries B. Photographs

Visual Materials

This subseries contains photographic prints, negatives, and transparencies primarily of interior spaces on the NS Savannah, as well as photographs of the ship bow, a model of the ship exterior, and three pieces of artwork displayed in the ship. Many of the photographs are credited to New York City photographer Alexandre Georges. Most of the photographs were presumably taken in the early 1960s following the installation of furniture, artwork, and fixtures on the ship. Most images exist in duplicate or multiple formats, with at least one copy typically accompanied by a descriptive typewritten caption and a photograph number.
