scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This collection is composed of two photograph albums and a number of individual photographs.  The group includes nineteenth-century material (tintypes and cabinet prints, all portraits), but most of the items are from the turn of the century to approximately 1918.  Studio portraits as well as amateur snapshots are included. The cabinet prints are from Pennsylvania and Ohio studios.  Most of the snapshots mounted in the two albums seem to have been taken in and around Washington, D.C., and include numerous familiar buildings and scenery.  The albums are in poor condition, as number 1 is 'without a cover, and most of the pages are separated from the cover of number 2.  Photographers represented include (?) Applegate, J. B. Bairstow, and Filson & Son.
