The collection consists of one box with three folders containing 34 photoprints, some of which are modern prints made from negatives created by Anna Sellman Gittings, and several of which are vintage photoprints. Created circa 1890s, the photographs primarily depict the Gittings home called Roslyn (also spelled Roslin) near Kingsville (Upper Falls) along with members of the Gittings family, friends and domestic servants (including African Americans). There are many rural scenes along the Gunpowder River including Little Falls and Great Falls, and the vicinity of Joppa, Belair, and Philadelphia Roads in Baltimore and Harford Counties. Some images depict people at the Philadelphia Gunning Club.
