Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection consists of one box with 35 folders containing 50 prints made circa 1850-1868, possibly using Whipple's albumen process (which produced salted paper photographic prints from albumen glass negatives, sometimes also referred to as crystalotypes).

Included are views along Falls Road to the northwest and along Windsor Mill Road to the southwest of Baltimore. Images depicted include farms, mills, hotels, quarries, train tunnels and bridges, houses, and ruins. There are views of Stricker's and Hollingsworth's mills, a Catonsville blacksmith shop, the Jones Falls, the Patapsco River, and Nelson's Hotel, which was located at the terminus of the Reading Railroad on Broad Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There is also an image of African American men at a washhouse and one carte de visite portrait of George B. Coale.
