Collection.
This collection contains photographs from an album that
cover the years 1906–1923. Most images however date to the World War I era 1914–1919.
The 4x5 inch or smaller black and white photographs are mostly of Indianapolis
with a few images of Washington D.C. and the Indiana towns of Lawrence,
Whitestown, and Rosston. Subjects include celebrations at the end of World War
I, downtown Indianapolis, Indianapolis parks, parades, Riverside Park, fires, and
President Wilson visiting for the Indiana Centennial.
The photographs were removed from the album by the donor
because of its poor condition. The photographs however are in good condition.
He also numbered the photographs in the upper left corner according to their
place in the album; consequently they are not in chronological order.
The collection guide lists each numbered image with the descriptions
and dates taken from the photographs. Most photographs have a description
written on both front and back and some also have notes regarding lens settings
and climate conditions. The processor supplied some descriptions and those are
in square brackets [ ]. The photographer is unknown. The donor believed that
the photographer may be the man pictured in images #189, 190, 191, and [192]
and thought his last name might have been Dawson.
