Photograph album (disbound)

Visual Materials

A collection of 97 photographs, chiefly of Civil War veterans, monuments, and other views at Gettysburg National Memorial Park, taken approximately 1890 to 1910. The photographs were compiled into an album (now disbound) by John P. Nicholson, Civil War veteran and collector. There are a few wartime photographs dating to the 1860s, but the majority were taken in the years after the Gettysburg battlefield was designated a national park in 1893. The albumen photographs are various sizes and are mounted on boards. Many depict veterans gathered in groups at Gettysburg, sometimes in front of a monument for a specific army division. Women and children appear in some images, posing with monuments, and there are portraits of individuals in uniforms, mostly unidentified. Other subjects are: landscape views of former battlefields (with annotations identifying landmarks), graves, gun carriages outside a barn, cannons, visitors in horse and buggy, and the Old Soldiers Home (Washington, D.C.?). Six small images on page 47 date to much earlier; there are two wartime images of Ulysses S. Grant and officers seated outside a tent; a group of soldiers standing by cabins; and single images of three of Grant's horses, "Jeff. Davis, Cincinnati, and Egypt," at City Point, Virginia, 1865. Some images are by William Tipton and one is credited to F. Gutekunst. The album is disbound, and two photographs have been matted and housed in Box 2.

Series II. Photograph albums

Visual Materials

This collection contains approximately 1520 photographs in 11 volumes, comprising four journal accounts written by Walter Savage Wright from 1899-1901 and 7 photograph albums compiled by Walter S. Wright and his son, Howard Walter Wright. The journal accounts contain approximately 210 photographs and the photograph albums approximately 1310 photographs, dating from approximately 1878-1930, chiefly 1896-1917. The photographers are chiefly unidentified, though it is assumed that most were taken by members of the Wright family, chiefly Walter S. Wright and Howard Walter Wright; some photographs were taken by commercial photographers. The journal accounts concern the Wrights' family life in Pasadena; Walter S. Wright's journeys to Sonora, Mexico, with business partners to secure a railroad concession for the Los Pintos Mines; and a cruise taken by the Wright family to the Channel Islands in 1899, so that son Howard W. Wright could engage in bird collecting and photography. The photograph albums depict the Wrights' life and residence in Pasadena; the family's travels to Mount Wilson in the San Gabriel Mountains, Santa Catalina Island, and other areas of California; trips to the Channel Islands, Mexico, and other destinations; Howard W. Wright's years as a student at Stanford University (1911-1915) and his tours in Japan, China, and the Philippines during his service in the Navy during World War I.

Earle Forrest Photographs of Hopi Indians

Visual Materials

This collection of 77 photographs by Earle Robert Forrest documents Hopi Native Americans in the villages of Oraibi and Mishongnovi, Arizona, in 1906-1908. The prints, made in the early 1960s, are accompanied by extensive descriptive typed captions by Forrest on the backs. Images depict Hopi natives and their families; the Hopi villages of Oraibi and Mishongnovi; the Snake Dance; the Antelope Dance; the Blue Flute Ceremony; the race before the Snake Dance; initiation ceremonies into the Snake Society; kivas; the altar of the Blue Flute Society; preparations for the Blue Flute Ceremony; and crypts (in which smallpox victims were burned) being used as a storage area. There are also photographs of Forrest traveling through Arizona and American painter Louis Akin observing the Snake Dance ceremony. Two photographs from 1960, a photograph of an amphitheater in Wupatki National Monument and a photograph of a stone serpent head at a temple of Quetzalcoatl in San Juan Teotihuacán, Mexico, are included. It appears from the photo captions that Forrest placed these photos in the collection to help explain the origins of the Hopi Snake Dance. Item titles transcribed in an abridged form from the photograph captions.
