James Thomas Fields photograph collection
Visual Materials
A small group of 19th century photographs highlighted by portraits of American and British literary figures and early photographs by Julia Margaret Cameron and the studio of Hill & Adamson. Cameron's photographs are two cabinet cards lithographed with gold borders and facsimile inscriptions on the mounts that read: "From life. Copyright Julia Margaret Cameron." The subjects are Annie Chinery (1868) and Mary Hillier (1870; marked in pencil on the mount "Angel at the Tomb."). There are also two calotype process salt prints made 1843-1848 by Scottish photography pioneers David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson (studio of Hill & Adamson), depicting Scottish fishwives. A third salt print, of a statue of "Oenone," may also be by Hill & Adamson, but this has not been verified. Other photographs in the collection are: portraits of Mary Cowden Clarke, William Dean Howells, Margaret Perry La Farge, Gerald Massey, and Frederick W. Robertson (an etching); William Wordsworth's grave; Tennyson's house, Isle of Wight; Dryburgh Abbey, resting place of Sir Walter Scott; "Les Charmettes," home of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, France. There are also landscape views of Valley of the Rocks, Devon; pine trees in Cannes, France; Alte Münze, a former palace in Munich; a house in St. Augustine, Florida; and three views of the Boston Public Garden.
