Carl Moon Collection of Family Photographs and Ephemera
Visual Materials
This collection focuses on the personal lives of photographer Carl Moon and his wife Grace, who wrote a series of children's books revolving around Hopi and Navajo culture in the Southwest. There are several portraits of both of them, some taken by Carl, as well as portraits of other Moon relatives. A photo/clipping album contains many scenes of their early home life in Pasadena, California, with their two children, along with clippings about their careers. There is one view of Grace Moon at El Tovar studio in the Grand Canyon. Another album details several generations of the Moon family in photographs dating from the mid-19th to early-20th centuries. The photos are identified in ink or pencil, and there is one baby photo of Carl Moon. There are several photographs of Moon's mother, Lucy Brunetta Moon, and five of her daily diaries. Also included are reproductions of artwork by Grace Moon, and some original drawings by Ernest Moon (Carl's brother). An interesting commercial item is a 1909 brochure for Hotel El Tovar at the Grand Canyon featuring photographs of the hotel (it's unclear if they were taken by Moon).
