The collection consists of one box with one folder and 13 albums containing 1555 photoprints made 1897-cica 1940s. Print processes include cyanotypes and platinotypes. Images are sporadically captioned and dated; subjects are Blick family members and homes, including Rosemere in Baltimore County and a farm in Saint Mary'’s County, Maryland. There are many images of children, including the Blick twins Emilie and Mariana, at play with toys, riding in goat carts, holding kittens and puppies, dressed in Halloween and other costumes, and so on. A few images depict women and children at Baltimore City sites including Mount Vernon Place and Eutaw Place. Many group portraits include African Americans, and there is an image of African American children at a Christmas party, circa 1913-1915.

Saint Mary’'s County scenes include farm views with workers, equipment, and animals, as well as Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent and Saint Mary'’s River views with steamboats. There are a few images of Charlotte Hall Academy, an unidentified convent with nuns, and unidentified priests.

Some non-Maryland locations are depicted, including Cape May and Atlantic City, New Jersey, and an unidentified urban setting.
