Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection consists of 3 boxes of photographs which are undated or originated circa 1903-1925.

Box 1 contains 2 folders with 31 photographs including 2 negatives. Folder 1 contains 8 modern photoprints made in the 1980s at the Maryland Historical Society from vintage glass negatives which are undated. The subjects are not identified, but include men, women, children with toys, a church and a road. Folder 2 contains 21 photoprints which are Mueller family portraits, some by Fred Mueller, and 2 negatives which are unidentified portraits.

Boxes 2 and 3 are flat boxes containing rolled panoramic photographs and negatives, undated or circa 1903-1925. The images are approximately 8 to 12 inches high and up to 8 feet long. Many of the panoramic prints and negatives are labelled with the text "Section of Photography, Smithsonian Institution" and a catalog number, so these may duplicate holdings at that institution.

Box 2 is a smaller box with 9 items (5 prints, 1 poster, and 3 negatives). Box 3 is a larger box with 22 items (16 prints and 6 negatives). The panoramic photographs depict Baltimore and vicinity: downtown and the harbor, Fort McHenry, Hanover Street Bridge under construction, Western Maryland Railroad yards, Port Covington, the Back River sewage disposal plant, and ruins of the 1904 Baltimore Fire. Some of the images are related to individuals or organizations: restaurateur Walter Hasslinger's home on the Magothy River, the Bohemian Club at Bohemian Manor in Cecil County, and the Oriole Lodge at the Recreation Pier.
