Flower Show, 1939

The collection consists of 1 box containing 20 folders with 333 photoprints and 47 negatives. The main subject of the photographs is exhibitions sponsored by the Maryland Outdoor Life Federation and the Maryland Conservation Federation. These include the Outdoor Life Exhibition in 1939 and the Baltimore Flower Show in 1951, both at the Fifth Regiment Armory. The exhibit of 1951 includes many views of a proposed monument to conservation and restoration of land and water resources, which was in the shape of an oyster with several human figures, with the text: "As ye sow, ye shall reap". There are photographs of a Cherry Hill African American community meeting with Mayor D'Alessandro, ca. 1944. There are also images of the Ivy Hill Forest (Oregon Ridge Park), and a set of photographs taken in Maryland counties showing soil erosion and other conservation problems.

Note: Interfiled with the photographic materials are some non-photographic materials, including ephemera, printing proofs and advertisements.
