Album - People: Friends of John T. McCutcheon

 File — Box: 96, Folder: 2753

Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

Photograph albums, an autochrome, lantern slides, photoprints, negatives, stereographs, glass negatives, prints, and slides detailing the life and work of John McCutcheon. The strength of the series is in the documentary travel photographs (in lantern slides and prints) taken by McCutcheon on safari and in his travels to Mexico, Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. Also of interest are lantern slides of Salonika and Serbia during WW I and prints of the U.S.S. Michigan in Vera Cruz during the time of the “Vera Cruz Incident”. There is a certain amount of overlapping among subjects between formats; for example, the first two photograph albums, which cover McCutcheon’s life in full, contains hundreds of photographs of family, friends, travel, and reproductions of McCutcheon’s illustrations, that can be found in most of the other formats and parts of the series. All formats should be consulted for the various subject matters. In addition, there are photographs scattered in other series, especially in the Scrapbooks series, the majority of which are paper materials and ephemera but do contain some photographic images.
